PS1 LASER READER FOR MODEL SCPH 5501 SERIES
Good luck, I hope this revives a few original model systems.The xStation can be installed in SCPH-100x, SCPH-5xxx and some SCPH-700x series consoles. Incredibly simple procedure, but once again, this tutorial was written so absolutely anybody could perform it.
Reassemble the Playstation and everything should work fine! Here is me testing out the new laser with an audio disk. The nooks don't have to be large, and please be careful with a razor in that small space! My carving was very crude (too much coffee!), but you can get an idea of what it should look like here. Take the top case off again, and get out your razor.Ĭut along the trouble spots, carving out the two tiny nooks so the laser can fit properly in. Do not push down.Īs you will see, there are two trouble spots on the top casing that prevent the case from going around the laser assembly. Take the replacement laser's connections, and hook them up! Let the laser sit in the proper place, and Very gently place the top cover back upon the Playstation. Remove the connections, and put the SCPH-1001's original laser aside. You will note that this laser assembly is almost identical, but the connections are in different places. Flip it over, and remove the 5 screws.įlip the device over again, and carefully pull off the top part of the case. You may not reassemble or put aside the PSone, and take out your SCPH-1001. As you can see by the image below, it is the correct laser type we need. Set it aside, and be careful to not touch the lens. Carefully remove these, and then lift the BAM laser out of the device. The same can be done to the connection on the right. One is the small ribbon on the left, which can be removed by pinching the cable as close to the board as possible and lifting. The laser is not screwed in by anything, but you will have to remove the 2 connections it has to the device. Then, carefully flip the device back to its upright position and remove the cover. Flip your PSone over and remove the 5 screws. To start, we will be taking our new BAM laser from an old, broken PSone (one may skip these steps if they already have their BAM laser). BAM Laser (can be taken from a broken PSone or bought on the internet) I made this tutorial because this procedure was mentioned in passing on another site, and I wanted to make a tutorial for the layman. The BAM laser has a metal slide, and will not wear out. We will be replacing the 1001 ACM laser with the much more sturdy BAM laser, which is found in the PSone SCPH-101.
This tutorial is made for people with very little knowledge of their SCPH-1001 who want to give their broken model new life. As the laser moves back and forth to read a disk, it wears down the plastic, causing the laser to point in different directions, rendering the Playstation unusable. The SCPH-1001 dies a lot quicker than other models because the slide the laser reader moves upon is made out of plastic. Many people prefer the SCPH-1001 model Playstation due to the extra input/output ports on the back, but this first model Playstation wasn't without its problems.
