I have a ps2 slim and if i plug it in it is red then when i turn it on it is green for a second then turns red?

May be...

what should i do, i really don't want to send it back reply with any good ideas

push the reset button....it needs to be reset when you turn it back on i had to do it with my lil bro's all the time

Join the modern world and get a ps3, it is worth it.

SEND IT TO SONY AND THEY WILL REPAIR IT BUT YOU SHOULD GET A PS3 IT IS MUCH BETTER

Find a PC repair that works on PlayStations...
