PSOne, PS2 or PS3 - can you give a little more info ?

Why don't ya get ya new fella to do it Mandy, that should be the acid test for him. If he can't fix stuff he's not worth having.

Best wishes, Jeff (the handyman):D

Usually the lead that plugs into the back of the PS2 has 3 phono plugs on the end of it:

Yellow - Video
White & Red - Audio Left & Right

Should be a case of plugging them into the correct phono sockets on the TV (if the TV only has one audio socket use the white cable). If there all in and it still isnt working and the TV is a cheapo wone you got here, it could be buggered !, the only other way to check is if you have a HIFI with Phono sockets on the back, try the Audio through these (this is what we do cause TV speakers are garbage).

Re: Playstation chip??????????

You may have to tune into BBC1 and turn the tv upside down.

Or use a UK tv PLUG ( electrical )

Apparently, the tv knows its using pommy electricity !

Trick of the trade ;)
