Also, is any noise heard from the DVD-ROM drive during the black screen or does it remain silent?

Another good indicator could also be whether the machine boots the PS1 discs to the 'PS logo' splash screen quickly, or does it go to the electron screen with the Browser and System Configuration options first, and then continue to boot to black screen?

1. it goes to a black screen and stays there until the machine is reset.

2. there are some very faint ticking sounds.

3. when booting a ps1 hk silver it goes directly to the ps1 splash screen.
