- This broken, dirty PS1 sat alone in a thrift store. A broken laser and no home. Can I replace the damaged KSM-440AAM laser and bring new life into this launch version PS1?
It has been many years since I have recorded or edited a video. SO I do apologize for the close up, badly lit angles. I was just really excited to try and breath some life into this old console. I promise, the future will look better!

This model of the PS1 was the first ever model I've owned back in the day.

I just bought that same laser to replace my 1001's and the laser won't move. I'm going to try the shroud swap and see if that does something. Thank you kindly for this information. Kudos, big man!
PS. After doing exactly what you did, my PS just goes straight to the menu select screen. The laser doesn't even try to read the disc. I guess I need another laser assembly.
Some of the older models require a ribbon cable adaptor to get it to work maybe thst might help?
Good stuff you saved this old 1 gen ps1, this version had lots of issues, 2nd gen was better
I remember the original sony playstation it's a great videogame system
There's 440AEM lasers on Ebay as of this comment. They ship from China though.
That Playstation manager tho...
But... Where's the link if a wanna buy it? I've 3 of them, and the 3 models different, BAM, AEM, ADM. And a need them all. Please
Hi, you needed to adjust the bias lens ?
All PS1 lasers will work on any version even the psone its just the ribbon cable lengths are different.
That is awesome information! Thank you for sharing that with us. When I was reading a few forums, some people complained about issues, but never really stated what it was. I just tried to stay with something that worked. :D
These are coveted for their sound quality. Audiophiles flip their lid for these.

Laser was crappy and because its so close to the power supply it only made it melt
Only on SCPH1001 models
@@CMILF 5001,5501,7001,7501 weren't very reliable either, 9001 and 101 are

Shouldn't SCPH-1001 have that old gray bios with grid? Newer ones have that blue with bubbles.
You’ve got that reversed, lol. Old models were hella radical
@@bluedash24 sorry but I think I was right, I have 1001 and 9001 models.
@@patrikv13 Hm, strange! My October '95 1001 has the purple/blue BIOS interface with the bubbles. Whoops
Are these china lens are durable? I looking forward to replace them with new ones but all of them are Chinese I never trust CN made stuff so can anyone confirm Wich one are good to buy?
I can't speak for every company. But the unit I used in this video is still going strong for me. I hope this helps
@@UneeGaming thank you for the reply I'm glad it worked good for you, I just bought a psone alone in good condition just for the optical drive spare parts so for me it was less cheap than the Chinese reverse engineered lasers so I bought the original I know they last years and are heat resistant, let's see how it turns out I'm waiting for the spare parts.
Where did you buy this laser from? Would you mind posting or PM-ing me a link? If you don't mind of course. Great video!!!!
I scored the laser from eBay. The package took quite a bit to get here and it was badly beaten up, but the unit itself was absolutely perfect. Here is the link from the one I bought:
