The on/off switch... - Blizzard Sector

SkuLL · 07-01-2006, 10:24 PM

I know that the older PS2s (huge ones) have a on/off switch at the back. Recently I bought a PS2 (small one) and there isn't a on/off switch at the back. I checked the sides and everything but still couldn't find the on/off switch. Any feedbacks? Any possible ways I could shut the PS2 off without unplugging it?

Thank you!

just hold down the power button until the led changes from green to red, then its in standby and not doing anything at all

Would the light remain red (and in standby mode?)? Or would it stay in red for a bit then become blank completely?

So I could just let it remain at standby mode? For a long time?

you can have it on standby mode for 6 years and the thing wont eat up more power than it takes to light the led, which is like 5 cents a month

Thats what I did when I first got mine, it's more of a hassle when the plug is really hard to get to, and its not that bad to just put it on stand-by.
