PS2 recall over fire hazard!

[Dashken]

SONY Computer Entertainment has put out a recall order on power supplies that shipped with certain models of its popular PlayStation 2 slimline games console, following reports of a fire hazard due to the AC adaptors overheating.

There have been four reported instances of power supplies overheating in Europe and five in North America.
The recall order relates only to black, slimline PlayStation 2 consoles manufactured between August 2004 and December 2004.

The PlayStation 2 models subject to the recall order carry the model numbers SCPH70002, 70003 and 70004 while the AC adaptors carry the model number HP AT048H03 with a manufacturing date stamp from 2004.08 to 2004.12

In Australia, it is estimated that as many as 200,000 units could be affected by the recall.

As a precaution, SCE advises customers who own one of the AC Adaptors affected by the recall to unplug the PlayStation 2 from the mains power supply and not use the console until a replacement power supply is provided.

Customers who believe their slimline PlayStation 2 is affected by the recall can ring 1800 823 133 or visit www.au.playstation.com/recall to arrange a replacement.
