The Green Fox Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 When I turn on my PS1 it just goes to the memory card/CD player screen and won't get past it, even though I put games in it. I bought new games for it too, and tried all my old games in it, and it doesn't work no matter what game you put in. Does this mean it's broken? any help appreciated.

Matrilwood Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Try cleaning the sensor head, if you get crap on that thing, it defenately won't work. And if it's old dust will eventually build up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashikage Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 try an N64 clean, open the hatch and blow on the inside really hard for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorAllosaurus Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The lens is probably filthy, I had the same problem with one of my three PS1s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lens might be dirty.Motor that moves the lazer might be clogged with dust or broke.PSones are known for breaking and having weird fixes, such as one guy I know had to use the machine upside down to get it to work.

Guest Mr. Mario Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It's probably the filthy lens inside the console, try cleaning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 so how come we need like, 8 trillion posts saying the same exact thing?yeah, the lens is probably dirty. try cleaning it. if that doesn't work, it's probably an internal problem. if that's the case, I'm afraid I can't help you. I can't help but to laugh at that . If cleaning the lens results in no fix, there might be a problem with the disc reader/laser (Unsure of proper terminology) itself.

The Green Fox Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 well I mean, the discs won't spin either. unless I spin em round with mah finger. Tried playin' it upside down, didn't work.will probly get a ps2 or psone online to replace it, but I still want suggestions here.ROFL. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Replacement is the easiest (and most likely cheapest) course of action. You can get into replacing motors and stuff if your into that. Checking the solder of the internal connections ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
