bigfriendly Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I came across a filthy Playstation at my local thrift store. It actually booted up and came on with the game that was left in it. Cleaned it up and it looks great but neither controller will recognize when put into port one. Is this a common occurrence with these systems when real dirty? Any tips or advice from PS1 fans would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 You can start by just inspecting the port. Are there any pins missing? It's kind of hard to see because of the way the port is built but shine a light in there and make sure you can see contacts in each hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 PS1 have a regular issue with the port losing voltage. https://segaxtreme.net/threads/ps1-controller-port-repair.7506/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azathoth Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I've had the same problem, I just bypassed the blown fuse and ran a wire straight to the point on the controller port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I got some spare PS1 systems with issues but the controller ports arent the problem. You could strip the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
