    It would be less hassle (and probably cheaper) to just source another (working!) ps1.

    I'd agree with o1s1n, less hassle just to buy a working one. File a claim with Amazon if that's an option, as the seller may elect to send you another one that works

    SCPH-1002 is the 'audophile' version and worth a lot more than £13 if working.

    Changing the whole disc carrier/laser assembly is a simple job but finding a suitable replacement may be trickier.

    I however went with the easy option, and swapping out the laser with one from the redesigned PSone console. It’s quite nice that the last model PS1 has a suitable laser unit to donate to the first model PS1.

    Sweet, I've two dead PSone's on storage

    There's a myth that the PS1 with aux phono jacks is worth money, it's really not. You can get them for about €20.

    It's easier to mod though, only 4 wires to solder instead of 7 :)

    Excellent! Sure give it a bash and let us know how you get on with it.

    PS1s are terrible for lasers suffering issues unfortunately :( would be nice to know you can drop a new one in.

    It won't be a problem with the motor but with the laser itself.

    Interesting. You got the whole replacement unit.

    I was expecting just the "eye" part.

    Better off getting the whole drive otherwise you'd have to spend many a fun filled hour aligning the laser.

    great news, I remember how poor the first batch of PS1 were, I remeber renting them and they came with a note saying you had to turn them upside down in order to get some to work, when i bought my own one it developed a problem reading games and the only solution was to lift it about 45 degrees on one side, I sent it back and the one they game me was a slightly new model, lucky for me this one actually worked.

    I was really jammy with my PS1. It was an early release model with the phono audio ports and never gave me a hint of trouble. Still runs 100% perfect to this day.

    And I really played the hell out of that thing. Probably more than any console since.

    I remember having Pocket Fighter from Japan, adorable artwork, lovely game.
    Tons of inexpensive games to play on the PS, you need to buy yourself a copy of Einhander though, simply brilliant.
