ps2 problem

[PinkGrass]

Okay I'm sorry if it's a wrong place to ask but..
My friend got the slim playstation 2 (the disc is put on the top , not where u have the slide in disc thing)
and when you switch it on it goes on stand by mode (red light) and after that it goes to green light for a second and then back to stand by mode again.
he is really upset and literally crying cuz it doesn't work, any suggestions what's wrong with it and how can it be fixed?
thank you for help
