ps2 bought wire for hd tv but it comes up green.

i bought my son a second hand ps2 as he recently wanted a ps2 i bought it off ebay it did not come with instructions i have found out how my son can play it but it did not work with the childrens hd tv only with the spare tv we use for the wii so i found out why and i have bought two wires for hd tv one did not fit his tv so i bouught a different one which fits but his screen is green and he can only play one game because it ruins the games being green all the time does anyone have any suggestions other than use another tv?

Have you got the composite cable (RED,YELLOW,WHITE)? If so can you plug them straight in to the tv or have you got scart adapter that they plug in to first?

[doomey!]

Make sure the leads are pushed hard in, ps2 scarts have a nasty habbit of not securing into the socket.

we have 3 leads the original yellow white and red which wont work with hd so i bought one with the 6 colours 2 red white yellow blue and green i think, but his tv will only accept wires with 3 colours so i got a 3rd lead with a scart at one end and the other and the other end fits into the playstation and it works but everything is green, the only game that he can bear to play in green his the wrestling games as the others are too awful and he cannot make it out very well

This is not going to be answered satisfactorally unless you can tell us what connections are available on the television. Really, the best you can hope for with the PS2 is the component cable which has 2 red, 2 white a green and a blue connection and if you are trying to couple with a modern LCD/Plasma screen then that cable should work just fine. At the moment you're using a scart connection which is rubbish quite frankly and sounds like it's not plugged in properly.

the cable that has a scart at one end and plugs into the ps2 at the other end is the only cable that we can get the ps2 to work with that tv but it only works in green we have a cable that has 6 colours at the end to fit in the tv but the tv only has the holes for the yellow white and red sockets so i cannot use the 6 coloured wire i have tried to get an adapter but i can not find one anywhere do you have any ideas chappers oh and by the way it is plugged in very well.
