How to Fix Browser Screen Freezes on a Playstation 2

Browser screen freezes are a common occurrence among the Sony Playstation 2 video game consoles--they are older gaming systems and have had plenty of time to gather a buildup of dirt and debris inside their hard plastic casings. Assuming you have a precise mechanical touch and are willing to break warranty on your Sony console, you can open up the casing and clean the inside to enable better performance.

Newspaper
Phillips head screwdriver
Can of compressed air
Tweezers
