Bingo!

Anything in particular that makes it better? I'm genuinely curious since I'll eventually need to upgrade to one that records in 4k 🙂

​​​@@titanrepairs I bought this today on eBay at special offer for £148 (all in) Its 4k - high detail, larger base, well built 10.1 inch IPS screen, High zoom, Ring light, filters/diffusers, various modes: compare, ruler, connecting to multi external screens - Bargain.

I know the exact smell you're talking about. Experienced it many times lol.

But weirdly they made the power supplies for the OG Xbox and there never seem to be issues with them 🤔

That's true for many electronic device made in that era due to the crap cap plague.

@@abrothman Nope! Magnet 🙂 it uses a magnet to hold it in place to the spindle. Some drives do use clamping but not the PS2 fats.

Haha. It wasn't that bad! Though I might have to try the glue next time. The painters tape is something I have a lot of lying around my house.

you think i can find the plastic drive carrier by itself for the scph-50001?

Agreed. It was definitely a little weird. A smaller ebayer I don't mind the recycling but from a company as big as this one who I may or may not have done a full series on I wasn't expecting this level of recycling lol.

​@@titanrepairsdefinitely know which company that was 😂. I think the cat helped with that one.

Yeah....I made the careless mistake of allowing myself to get distracted with the filming part that I wasn't paying attention to my safety part. Lucky for me I don't make a habit of grabbing plugs by the pins, plugged in or not. A teachable moment for us all. But believe me I definitely learned from this one lol. That's what I was thinking too. This was back in the day before ordering literally anything off the internet so they probably didn't want to be bothered hunting one down and had this on hand.

Yes. I got myself distracted while filming and wasn't paying attention. We'll use this as a teachable moment of being aware of your surroundings and being safe 🙂

@@Abauto84 it's for smoke extraction. I don't use it because my soldering iron/desoldering gun station only has one hose input and that's attached to my desoldering gun. And switching the hoses is more of a pain in the ass than it should be for whatever reason. So I just leave it as is lol

No kidding. I knew it was. Then got caught up in narrating and whatnot, got distracted and didn't notice how close I was until editing. Was waiting for someone to point that out lol.

@@titanrepairs I was like man they surely didn't put diodes or anything there don't touch that plug it's hot.

It was a well designed and simple system we take for granted today. And if it wasn't for the PS1 and the fault where you had to stand up the early ones vertically to read discs, we wouldn't have the vertical console trend we have today 🙂

@@dans. You're correct. Regular WD40 is not good for plastic. The one I used is the silicone one. When I went to show it on camera I forgot I was zoomed in lol. That's an interesting theory. Could be the case 🤔

@@titanrepairs My theory is: Pissed dad put that one there so his son wouldn't constantly loose it when visiting his friend(s) with the console. I remember that my mum gave me a lot of lectures. I was ofter that guy who would loose cables. at least 5 power cables got forgotten at various places.

You could be right! If they did lose the original power cord, seems like a lot of work to mod it this way when the original cords are so standard and easy to find. Unless they were like "screw it, I have this cord laying around and a soldering iron" lol.

🤣🤣🤣 Nice!

4 years or longer!

That's awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you ☺️

Think of it this way. The disc drive is already kaput. You won't make it more kaput. Take a crack at it! Worst case you have to track down a replacement. But if you work slow and stay organized and take many pictures along the way, you'll be fine.

@@titanrepairs thanks for the reply! I was just thinking about it on the drive to work and decided that along with this excellent video that I'll give it a try. The disc drive goes in and out just fine, it's when the disc goes in, it's like it has a hard time spinning. It sounds like it's trying to spin the disc but all I'm hearing is a stunted plastic-on-plastic grind that stops as soon as it starts. It does it over and over until I fear that the disc is being damaged and I eject it again.

@@jeffwatters7902 I think it might be the disc drive magnet. Those can be an issue. I run into it all the time. I have an older video called I Fixed A Disc Drive With Flex Seal. Check that one out. It may be what you're looking for. I demonstrate the issue and sound and show a couple methods to fix it.

@@titanrepairs you're a saint. Thank you so much, I will do that.

When I learn and pick things up I will for sure share 😊

@@YearOfTheDadGaming this is an older video What did I call them? Y screws? If so I misspoke lol

I didn't notice any difference personally.

I wish I can see it. Can't wait until I can 😊

I take it you didn't see the part that I did pull up the schematics 😉 And how can I analyze a signal when I have no equipment to do it 😊

@@titanrepairs Ignore random haters like this one. Great job mate!

Especially since power supplies run so much energy through them. There were definitely injuries and property damage from these things going horribly wrong.

Thanks for the recommendation! I may give that a try. Acetone is good but it does struggle sometimes with this dry thermal paste lol.

​​@@titanrepairsregular goo gone and some heat I've done several of these just heat the cooler off of the CPU or GPU and put a little on let sit for a little bit then wipe off with a paper towel.

​@@titanrepairsALSO use heat from a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen the old paste it'll come off real easy when its heated up.

Goo gone spray gel and it's a few bucks for a much bigger bottle

I've seen it done but you have to be careful what sticks you buy. I've bought sticks advertised for a DS3 and didn't work for it lol. But sorry I don't have any personal experience in this to point you in the right direction ☹️

No, it isn't.

Thank you for the tip! Where exactly is the adjustment point for the spindle?

@@titanrepairs first you need to see with a phone camera if the infrared laser is working fine, should be as bright as a remote controller ir led. In the ps1 the spindle is fixed to the axle by pure friction, you need to push or pull the spindle up/down a little bit, the best to test the adjustment is with a music cd, the ps1 doesn't need to restart and with a music cd it will show underlaying laser issues with data allignment if some parts of the disc can't be read as you change from song to song as the laser struggle to reach that position. Also, as prevention, you want to check for sulfated pins of the connectors for the motor and laser assembly.

The 39K's are great units but a bit trickier to service. The 30K's are absolutely the easiest to service by a long way from my experience

Agreed 100%. But I do think each model has its strengths and weaknesses. 30000s are easy to work on but suffer from disc read errors. The 39000s I always tend to get with power issues lol. Sometimes disc read errors too depending on the laser inside. But both models are easy fixes then work great when they're working again. 50000s are the most reliable of the fats but suck to work on. All suffer sticky disc drives. But I love them all :)

@@titanrepairs oh yeah the 30K's are defo the nicest to work on. 39K's can have power issues but thankfully replacement supplies are easy to find. 50K's are fine but have that nasty crash issue sadly

​@@AstralPhnxThat is true. You can get new replacements. But in my experience it's usually bad capacitors on the power supply so I usually repair them. Much cheaper! I haven't run into that with the 50ks. Though when I get broken fats they're always 30k and 39ks lol

Oh God I don't remember. I usually say the model in the intro. Yeah this one wasn't bad. Definitely towards the end due to the simplicity in its construction to save cost.

The weird yellow brush is flux. It helps the solder flow and make a good joint. No
