Sorry if i'm bumping this but no my dog really didn't do it. The real reason why i made a second account because they thought they didn't give a damn about me so that's why i made a second account.

Okay heres the problem what i'm having with PS1 consoles in my experience. My plan is i'm trying to repair SCPH-1001 consoles. They have been pissing me off and driving me nuts for months now. It's the model where i rage quit and cussed at a Fix It Phil Group on Facebook and it turns out i had scratched discs. But here is the real issue. i see a lot of SCPH-1001 PS1's with dead boards and they spin the disc up crazy fast and the only way to stop it is to put it on its sides. Did the BA6397FP fail or something? I was told that the SCPH-1001 doesn't like the KSM-440-AEM or other lasers other than BAM. But on my October 1996 SCPH-1001 i had, Even with a BAM laser and had the Atari Anniversary Edition disc which was dinged up, it would still spin the disc up crazy fast. Is my board proably failing? Would resurfacing or buying new copies help since the 1001 isn't toerable of scratched discs.

Hi everyone this is my first return to this site so I haven't posted here for a while. Can I post anything about a PS1 problem here?

This is heartbreaking. How the hell can the CPU die without warning!? Is it because of cold solder joints?

My SHVC-CPU-01 has a 1/1/1 PPU and CPU arrangement and it also works like a champ. But what version letter would be my PPU?

You think the SHVC CPU 01s are unreliable? So the GPM is the first reliable SNES revision?

So will a GPM do? Plus I hate the SNS 101. Video is too sharp. Does the GPM share the same SHVC video encoder despite the sound chips being built into the board?

Uh that's not true. My SNES is SHVC CPU 01 and I turned it on countless times and the CPU never died on me. Discharging the unit by turning the power switch on with no ac adapter plugged in and letting the LED flicker for a brief second to discharge all the capacitors

I heard that a power filtering could shorten the life of the chips. Would a power surge help

I have a first gen SNES with the SHVC sound board and i'm treating it really good. So this means it's less prone to failure?

My bad board was actually a SHVC CPU 01

This is devastating. I've been looking up SNES PPU, VRAM or CPU failures and it's breaking my heart since i have no solder skills. Since my SNES had glitches, I replaced the board with another good SHVC-CPU-01 board and all is good now. Will my console last as long it's clean. What could cause CPU or PPU failure? Proably removing the game while the power is on. Are SHVC-CPU-01 SNES consoles unreliable?

Well, Are SHVC CPU 01 SNES consoles unrealible. I seen alot of them dead. Is there anyone who know how to do SNES PPU swaps?

But i don't like the Jr. It lacks S-Video and i don't like the sharper image and design.

Also i need a new board
