Did this "ps2/roach sandwich" thing have a warranty???. From what you showed me. I am assuming that this console wasn't used for a long time and probably stored away in a area filled with great-aunts, great grandmas etc before it was sold

. I would say the first place you went wrong is going onto craigslist.
Always Go to a well-known auction site when it comes to buying electrical goods (I reccomend ebay). And take a peek at the user rating. This is vital when you are buying because when that user rating declines, It means that what they sold wasnt in good condition, or after a while, breaks down. Then again, for 30 dollars, you can't go wrong
P.S. did the roaches increase the memory
