Bah Ps1 Issue :(

[seikene]

I'm having some sort of Playstation issue when I opened it. Of course I did that to swap the LED to UV, which worked perfectly, but now the controller ports don't work for some reason. Games start if I insert them, but I notice that the ports don't work at all. I tried multiple controllers to be sure, and tried not booting a game, and it won't work. If possible, can you mention anything at all that can be wrong with it besides not inserting the ribbon right, because I've tried reinserting it like a million times, and I switched the parts to go in just to be safe. If anything, try to let me know a website that might be able to sell the ribbon by itself or just the ports with the ribbon.

ill be searching for one for ya =P but sadly ps1 repair parts from websites arnt worth buying(in most cases) with the websites cost of part+shipping as you can get a ps1 at a local pawn shop for around $24


:EDIT: hey man after some research i found your problem you blew the PS605 Fuse =P and is replaceable sadly you need advanced soldering experience heres the page http://www.geocities.com/psxrepair/mainboard.html?200812

Good Luck =D also if your still in need of parts check this out http://playstationparts.50megs.com/parts.html they sell everything

Any fuses I blew whilst making my PS1P I just bridged with fuse wire. Wiring was simple , Just soldered to either side of it. After a while I completely removed the fuse and bridged the gap. It's not particularly hard to do.

Well I'm gonna check that page you gave me doug, thanks alot . If I can just bridge them, then trust me, I'll just go for that. I already know how much of a pain it is to find parts for a discontinued item.

yea i know my ps1s drive isnt reading certain games anymore(....the good ones >=[) so im gonna be hardwireing a new drive to my mobo since the drive is for a different version of ps1 but i looked into that part shop a little more and sadly they closed down but dont say anything about it on the pages >.> anyway yeah good luck on getting yours fixed =D

[seikene]

Heh thanks to your source, I got it fixed . Now, my only real problem is making my ps1 portable. I'm using a specific dvd screen, I have the chips for it, and it is compatible, but no one has a data sheet on it or a suggestion on it.

i bought one of those official ps1 screens in a gamestore clearout they are brilliant!i had to make an rca-av adapter was simple just need 5 wires,a headpahone lead and an rca to scart adapter

[seikene]

I REALLY wish I  had bought that, I woulda been done with this, but my dvd screen is sitting there collecting dust, so lemme rephrase the question: Is there anyway to guess the points when using a dvd screen that has no data sheet but is proven to work?

You need to open the DVD and use a multimeter to trace from the video and audio plugs on the inputs on the mobo, you can then solder to these points; or to the video cables themselves. If the DVD does not have RGB inputs or composite or S-video inputs however, you won't be able to hook up to the screen.
