that depends on what type of chip might be in there

just try putting a psx copy in there and see if it works it could not hert anything

if nothing happins then you could try holding down the O button while you tern on the system

also if you hold down the eject button with the system on and the disk tray shoots out then in a few secs gos back in theres a no soder chip in there


theres a few outher ways to I cant think of off the top of my head
(it is not likeley there is a chip in there it probubley just has been repaired)
