bradhig1 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 When I hooked it up to my TV there was no audio or video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 You're leaving a lot of info out on those posts you know. Until #2 I wouldn't have guessed LCD+PSone, could have been slim+tv, or slim+LCD tv, slim + plasma, slim + PC monitor with jacks/conversion to use jacks, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I hooked it up to the tv without the lcd screen connected and got no sound or picture. With LCD I get sound but no picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Do you have another set of AV cables to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Look at the AV connector on the PS1 and make sure no pins are bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I don't see any beat pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Have you tried wiggling the AV cord at the ps1 when you have it connected to the TV? Try that and see if you get anything. Also do you have both audio cables hooked up left and right? I am trying to think why you have sound on the LCD but not on your TV, but I am thinking it might be because there is no video and your TV won't do anything on the input if no video signal depending on what type of TV it is but I could be wrong, it could be something loose in the connections. Try different TVs. We know though that the audio is good on the PS1 side. Do you have an oscilloscope perhaps? Maybe something going on inside the unit causing you to have no video signal. Here is a pinout you can look at. http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/psxav.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I don't think cables would help, the PS One LCD ramps straight into the device itself and then is screwed into the back of the system (I have one on my desk here.) I think the problem here is the port or something jacked up otherwise inside that some cable swap isn't going to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem here is the port or something jacked up otherwise inside that some cable swap isn't going to fix. Reason I was thinking that is because he had audio on the LCD addon but no audio through the TV, thought it may be possibility of him having a bad cable as well. However you are probably right because I got to thinking some of the newer TVs might not play audio on an input if there is no video signal, not sure.

Tanooki Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Oh I know, it just crossed my mind when I figured out he had been trying the LCD and then the other comment about both, it couldn't just be a simple cable issue as it wouldn't add up. It's internal and given how cheap they are to replace anyway, especially loose if you don't need the wiring and controller, it's probably best just to replace than repair unless it's something really really simple like a blown solder point that's obvious.

bradhig1 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 I did some reflow to the video connections and the power switch connections. Still no video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Maybe just get a new slim its cheap enough. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONY-PLAYSTATION-PSONE-PS1-SLIM-WHITE-SYSTEM-SCPH-101-/282562110430?epid=100289627&hash=item41ca03a3de:g:v6gAAOSwhilZYBx6 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-PSone-PS1-SCPH-101-Bundle-2-Controllers-SonyMultitap-Cables-Game-Works-/292172669860?epid=100289627&hash=item4406d923a4:g:i1EAAOSwhQhY3c8I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 I thought you wanted to keep as many consoles out of landfills as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Sometimes you have to write it off, or if you're smart about it, find on that looks well abused but works -- take the working guts, put it in your nice shell and save a beater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I thought you wanted to keep as many consoles out of landfills as possible. I never said that. But sometimes its cheaper than wasting time and energy on solder and other parts to fix it. 30 is not bad. Resell the 2 controllers and cord for 15 or 20 and it not bad. Only 10 for the replacement console. Cheaper than trying to fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I got another psone slim today and had to swap the boards because the cd lid was broken.. The new one won't load games it just goes to the memory card ,cd player screen. Any ideas on how to fix it? I am sick of lying sellers on Ebay. If there are issues with a console then say so.

bradhig1 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Disc spins but it goes to the memory card ,cd screen. Won't even play audio cds. I think the laser is bad. Head cleaner didn't help. Anyone know where I can find a replacement laser. I can't use the one from my one playstation one because the ribbon cable ripped when I was putting it in the bad case.

Tanooki Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Shame you wrecked the first, I'd demand a return/refund on it since they lied in the description. Unless it was sold as parts, they have no come back with a dispute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it was sold as parts, they have no come back with a dispute. They didn't lie I didn't read it all the way through. I know the disc spins and it tries to read it. I used a lens cleaner disc and it still doesn't read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTIGuy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Sorry mate, looks dead.Try a PS, PSone, or PS2 from amazon as those are cheap there for one in working condition (tho $10 is outta my price range lol). And ALWAY, and i mean ALWAYS read the FULL description, for your own good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 I have a new laser ordered. I had to reflow the power connections cause it wouldn't stay on and that is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
