This Original PlayStation was sent to me to be restored and repaired by a subscriber who didn’t have any use for it.
I will restore this broken and yellowed PlayStation. The console doesn’t read discs which is a very common and easily fixable issue with these old consoles.
First, I remove 6 security screws from the base to allow me to separate the two halves then once inside I can start to take it apart properly, first, I removed the power switch then the cartridge ejection lever I then removed all the screws from the motherboard and removed it from the lower casing.
During the disassembly, I found the remains of a spider and a spider nest. It’s very common I find bugs inside these old devices, I’m, not sure why, maybe they’re dark and warm places?
The capacitor was swollen, In all cases, swell
