ps one mainboard
 

I have a brother-in-law(doesn't everyone) who works on T.V.'s. He tried to solder a modchip into a brand new psone for me and messed up the board. Any ideas on fix-it places or anything else?Thanks

always have a fail safe
 

goto wal-mart and buy u a knew ps1 go home open it up and switch ur old board with the new one in other words put ur fried board in the new ps1 case and then take it bak to wal-mart with the recipt and get ur cash back :)

why cause you used to be a mod:p

need more info,does the playstation power light even come on,if so does the laser have power,does the disk spin ect.you can get a new main board for about 50 dollars(US)

lol banned for saying that stfu lol he just bought the ps1 it still has a warnnety if not the store then sony has a warnnety so hes not cheating its just skiping all the pain in sending it off to sony waiting 5 weeks for the slow losers to fix it and costing u s/h this way u have it on the spot

Mr
 

The light comes on but nothing else happens. He burned a little do-hickey(that's the technical name) off the board. I bought it new, but it was over a year ago. Apfter he *%#%ed it up, I bought the kids a used PSX. Thanks

when you open up your system and put in a chip it voids the warranty,(common sence)

The PS one has a sticker over one of the screws, once the sticker is broke so is your warranty, if the knuckle heads at Walmart know anything they'll look at the sticker and see it's busted, if they do you will be arrested for shoplifting.

belive me there dumbasses
 

half the peps that work wal-mart dont even cheak and see if the serils the same on the systems more less a seal lol thats what it a fail safe plan works for me all the time be sur not to use ur real name on the recipt when ur ask to sign it :)

hmm shoplifting ur own goods thats a new one lol we got caught trying to return a dif ps1 in the new ones box they just sayed they cant help us they did'nt call the police lol but if some one every gets acused for shoplifting ur own goods be sur to make a quck exit with ur ps system dont worry about the buzzers they wont alarm on ur own system and not to vist that wal-mart any time in the future

I was kinda' askin' for a tech answere as opposed to "shoplifting 101":o

if you take your system to someone that repairs playstions they might be able to fix the problem cheap.ps do you still have the diod that came off the board,that could come in handy.because when you were sodering the chip in, the soder may have got to hot that was holding the little do-hicky to the board.you might have to just soder it back in place if it is not damaged.

Good luck trying to solder another little diode onto the PS1 board in exactly the right spot. I buggered a board
the same way once-the iron got too hot and lifted about three diodes off.What a poofter that was.You're better off ditching that consul for spare parts and buying another PS1.:D

it can be done you just got to know what your doing.there is alot of people that can do it.
