    Woah. That's a Net Yaroze PS1. Those are not common at all. Hats off to you for fixing it. You definitely knew what you were doing as well.

      Okay please some one comment back. I bought my ps1 a year ago and haven’t played for about 6 months until yesterday. Bought new games that are probably used but no scratched Almost brand new. My ps1 was working fine last night until today.
      I booted up my game and after the first logo it took a while (a few extra seconds not long) and then it took me ti the main menu. I can hear the disc moving but it has that weird buggy sound
      I hear it spin but a glitchy sound
      I hear spin for about ten seconds and then it stop… and then again. And then it stops again and again. What wrong ? Can someone please tell me

    This is not a really a dev console but a Net Yaruze which is a consumer development console.
    But you need the special memory card to acually get anything running on that

    Is that a Net Yaroze model? Those are very hard to find. Props for working with such a small area. I usually strip the console down to the board only so that I have more room to work with.

    Personally, I think you should of taken the board out to do the work, rather than working in a confined space and angle. You can get a nasty shock from capacitors on power supplies, which can hold a charge after the machine has been on. At one point your solder is resting on the power supply. When doing a tutorial you should let the viewers, who may be attempting repairs for the first time, know of any dangers to health. Even if you think that the risk is minimal. There is a reason that those 'danger of shock' labels on the case. Please be careful people when working on any electronics.

      While watching it I was designing a thin silicon cover that can go over various transformers and psu, while working on a device. Tho I agree, since it was a client board I felt he had to many risk points of failure, Should have removed the psu at least and further disassembled.

      I'm no expert, but at 11:11 into the video, he pushes down a spring north east of the disc, that is pushed down when the lid is closed. The spring could either be worn out or whatever mechanism the spring is sitting on is at fault... or it could be both.

    • @grimawormtongue2014
      @grimawormtongue2014 7 месяцев назад

      Quick fix could be to add some blue tack to the small piece on the lid you mentioned.

    The disk hold down looks to be broken also, making the disk wobble.

    • @spirit_green
      @spirit_green 5 месяцев назад +1

      The wobble is intentional. Believe it or not, PS1 discs are imperfect and the console looks for wobbles on purpose to detect that its a legit PS1 game, otherwise it won't boot.

    • @BrainHurricanes
      @BrainHurricanes 5 месяцев назад

      @@spirit_green In the video you can see the orange rubber band where a piece of the hold down is missing and the disk seems to wobble excessivly. If you look for the video "Making a PlayStation 1 modchip" you find out how a legit game was detected (unless the video is wrong). Do you have a video title, or article explaining the intentional wobble ? Thanks for sharing.
