Trying To FIX a PSone | No Display & No Disc Spin!

This is a Sony PlayStation one that came in my faulty job lot from last year. It doesn't have any display and doesn't seem to be reading discs. Will I be able to repair it?

Hope you enjoy!
Steve

PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

Nice to find a repair channel that doesn’t stage their fixes! I have 40 OG PS1’s to fix so this really helped, I subbed!

this channel is the perfect combo of calm, funny, educational and interesting, and no loud nonsense or overly "produced" stuff.

Awesome!

Just found your channel 2 days ago and now am binging all your videos. Your knowledge of electric engineering is amazing.

[dolanddrumpf]

I've had so many times in my life where I tried to fix something and I only made it worse. Love how you stay calm.

I find it fascinating that you can even try and repair these things. Too many electrical items end up in landfill and you at least save some. Thank you for all your content.

Man, I found this channel (more like suggested by YouTube) what a find. Spent over 3 hours last night watching different videos on the channel. I honestly have no interest in myself trying to fix things but for some reason watching you fix gaming items is just so relaxing haha. Keep up the great work!!!

I had choppy audio on my Psone and dark fuzzy screen. I recapped the entire board as the Caps on them are very cheap. I wanted to eliminate any future issues with them. It did work after that! I can tell you using a heat gun is the way to go. You can get the caps off so easy. I watched Voultar's videos and learned how to remove them!

[Serpsss]

I love that you have a cuppa on the mat which you somehow nimbly keep avoiding; it adds a real element of danger & suspense!

[MommaDusk]

so as far as the name of this it is a ps1. the PSX is what most people call the original model of the first PlayStation and the PS1 came out later. there was actually a screen that was made specifically to go on top of the PS1 that would allow you to play without a TV but it did not attach to the original model

Love your videos Steve, I'm slowly getting into the hobby and going through your troubleshooting steps is really insightful. Keep on going!

I want to thank you for leaving the piece of the video where you send that negative side of the cap somewhere else. We are all human, we can all make mistakes no matter how experienced we are. Watching the human side of something as complex as fixing electronics is always encouraging. Subscribed!

[christophermichaels]

I like that your videos show the mistakes you make. It's helps cement knowledge for the viewer when they see you unknowingly make a mistake, discover your mistake, and fix your mistake.

I am guilty of watching and forgetting to subscribe, something i just rectified, love the vids steve keep up the good work

[xkozakhs]

Hello from Athens - Greece, love your videos and your work.Thanks for the content ! ! !

[OfficialFtwJim]

Recently found this channel randomly. I really like seeing techs and games I haven't seen since I was very young. Great host also, very calm narration. Kind of reminds me of Jeremy Wade or Ed Stafford! Anyway, love the content man.

I'll never forget someone giving me a Sega CD because he couldn't get it to work. I opened the lid, grabbed a knife and popped the spimner up a couple millimeters and it worked fine. It had literally just been pushed in and couple spin properly.

[mattgorton]

I was so bloody satisfied to hear that start up noise!!

[djlancematthew]

I believe that the fact that you don’t say “smash that subscribe button” or anything ridiculous like most of the other beggars on YouTube is part of the reason why I subscribed to your channel and hit the like button… And I also comment!

Thank you so much for not being one of those Youtubers!

[AlvinMarin.]

Excellent fix wouldn’t never thought of that

[darthlime]

I haven't the foggiest how this came into my recommendations, but I'm glad it did.
