babrasch Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I just got a PlayStation 1 today from GameStop, and it simply refuses to work. The normal SCE logo pops up, and then I hear it trying to read the disc. Then, the noise stops, but then it starts up again, with almost the exact same sound as before.I try this with every disc I got, and none are read. Certain times, depending on the position of the laser, it won't do anything from startup but make an obnoxious high pitched noise; no logo, nothing. It does open the normal menu when it can't read the disc, but then it tries to read it again for however long I let it. I have a model with only the A/V, parallel, serial, and power ports. I've fixed a Saturn by slowly moving the laser up and down which recalibrated it, but that technique doesn't work here. Can someone please help, or is it dead?

Keatah Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just take it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiman99 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Like Keatah said, take it back, get a replacement, let them know that the item needs to be tested before sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Sounds like the laser is out of whack and it's having trouble reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
