Restoration & Upgrade of PlayStation with a Spider Nest Inside

I will restore and upgrade this broken and yellowed PlayStation. The coinsole doesn't read discs which is very common and easily fixable issue with these old consoles. I also found something a spider nest from the inside.
During the dissasembly I found the remains a of a spider and a spidernest. It's very common I find bugs inside these old devices, I'm, not sure why, maybe they're dark and warm places?
I cleaned the parts with soap and then put them in my retrobrighting box. Here's my tutorial to the retrobrighting: • How to remove yellowin... and tutorial to build the box: • Making the Ultimate Re... Notice that the original tutorial doesn't need the heater but the lights are touching the box which warms up the solution. Both heat and UV-light seem to aid the process.
Next I installed the upgrade. I got a device called PSIO that allows me to play games from SD cards. This device can onlu be installed to Playstations taht have the Parallel I/O port in the back, not all of them do. You can find the instructions for each board from ps-io.com/ and full details on how to set it up. All you need is to add files (the manufacturer provides on that page) to the SD card and put your games on the card. Note that some games may consist of multiple .bin files. Those need to be cobined into single .bin files e.g. with CDMage program. This is a failrly simple modifications and fits someone with a little experience, however, you need a soldering iron with quite small tip to be able to solder them.
To fix the disc drive I opnly had to clean the lens. In some cases teh laser has gone old. You can try adjusting the screw I show to give it more life. It increases the voltage going to the laser and if it's adjusted to the highest voltage at the factory the laser would burn out faster. In this restoration I use similar potentiometer to fix the laser on another Playstation • I restored this $7 Jun... The idea is the same with this one. If adjusting the laser doesn't work, you need to purchase a replacement part. Or you can just intall an SD card reader and never play games from discs, but I wanted that option too so I repaired it.
Thanks for watching, I hopy you enjoyed the video!

Concerning the laser lense, most people foreget that the lens has two sides. Also there are mirrors and the glass on the laser diode which can get dirty, especially if the device was used by heavy smokers. If cleaning the upper lens side doesn't worke, I usually demount the Laser essembly from the horizontal worm gear and throw it into my ultrasonic cleaner for some minutes (just water and a little bit of soap and a little bit of IPA). After the washing I dry it as good as possible and let it dry completely out over night. I usually try this before messing around with the potentiometers as a wrong setting may burn the laser diode.

If you look at your own old consoles, if you have any, you may be able to see slight differences in the whiteness. Say like the memory card of a gamecube, you might be able to tell the part that usually is in the console will be much whiter than the part outside. Hope this helps!

Also, every part is perfectly molded with no flash or any other defects I can see. Japanese go hard when it comes to their video games.

PSIO looks like a good upgrade, not sure I wold want to butcher my mint original PlayStation though and I still like to use my original Xplorer cartridge in the parallel port. Great choice of Spyro at the end, my favourite PS game.

So, I'm guessing that the chip allows the data from to be loaded into the console much like it would from a disc, while at the same time telling the console that the game is an 'official copy' which the correct region data. The way that copy protection worked on the console used a very little known fact about CD lasers, mainly that they can read right into the centre ring of the disc. Sony were the only company to take advantage of this and when the game discs were produced, a spiral track of data was placed on this ring that no one else had the ability to reproduce. to make it even more secure, they took advantage of the laser's lens being 'floated' around in an electromagnetic field, as this was necessary for all CD lasers because the data track wasn't always perfectly cantered, so micro adjustments were needed to read the data. what this means for the copy protection in that the data track in the centre ring wobbles, which made it near impossible to reproduce. this is the sound you can hear the laser making as it scan for region data where seems to zip back and forth rapidly. When you 'chipped' a PlayStation console, the chip would send data to the BIOS telling the console the game was official and the right region too

you make really good relaxed videos about cleaning and repair where things technical problems and everything works again. I'm so curious how that looks like new in the end🤩 Your videos show real good conscience like tutorials. You're really good at this kind of thing, could you do a ps4 controller tutorial to fix the shell on it? Change shell on ps4 controller, instead of black ps4 controller another skin color shell. 👀👍 Or a tutorial, why a ps4 makes loud noises. maybe you can fix how or why it is. 😄 and.. my ps4 controller R1 button doesn't quite work properly. the R1 button is very low as if you can't press it anymore and is half as nonfunctional. the (x) button is very easy to press. could you put out a tutorial, how to fix it? Thanks 😁

this makes me want to buy a ps1 again and if its broken your tutorial will help me out majorly in console restorations as i do enjoy doing those in my spare time. i would like goto yard sales, flea markets, 2nd hand stores, retro and modern game stores to see if they have any broken consoles, or something that could be worth fixing.

Not sure how I ran into this video but I watched it in its entirely and when he started to play Spiro I felt a little emotional from the young times of me like 8 yrs old. Those games were so much fun can't believe I'm still playing video games on occasion on the ps5. Time never stops..

Absolutely mesmerizing ASMR experience for gaming enthusiasts! 🎮🕷 Witness the incredible restoration of a broken and yellowed PlayStation, complete with a surprising spider nest discovery inside. The retrobrighting process is fascinating, and the upgrade to play games from SD cards using PSIO is a game-changer! 📀🔧 This restoration tutorial is perfect for those with a knack for soldering and a love for classic gaming. Kudos to the creator for sharing this amazing journey with us! 🙌😊

Here’s an idea! What if you started a new channel that would feature you not only fixing up items, but also giving them different add-ins and upgrades. And you call it “Mod Tinkering”!🤓

lmao i know right? first time i ever bought a set of ps1s for repair i found a ratty modchip installed, cold joints, overly long cables, dusty nasty tape holding it together. Eventually trying to safely free the cables from their cold jointed prisons ended up lifting a pad off the board. rip.

This was my sister and I’d very first game console. Our dad bought it for us for Christmas when we were eight years old. We still have it and don’t have the heart to get rid of it. Too many memories. And Spyro? That game was our jam as kids. We loved Spyro!

watching you route those mod wires brought me back to the early days of the PS modding scene, where everybody would post photos of their cleanest wiring jobs and mod installations. i admit i probably spent far too much of my youth fussing over tiny little wires and trying to bend them at perfect geometric angles

Congratulations for the work. Spyro is one of the best soundtracks on PS1. Stewart Copeland drummer for the band The Police worked on this soundtrack. Amazing!
