A TechLore "Ask the Experts" Question...

Question:

My sons were given a Playstation 2, but when you turn it on it goes into a set up mode. It will not allow anything past the setup mode. Is there a step by step process for bringing the unit online? They did not get a manual for the unit, and I am lost. Thank you for any assistance.

Answer:

It's possible that the menu could be from one of two different things; either the PS2, or the game itself.

Question:

I've had a Toshiba big screen hdtv for about 10 months and lately the picture has been flashing white for a second then goes back to normal. This is a rear projection T.V. that seems to already have burn in from the closed captions (two rows of little squares across bottom of screen)....Is my tv about to die on me?
