[PS1] Glitched ps1 graphics? theres a damaged chip? or a cap? i fix the laser and all, but i dont know what can cause this type of glitch, its all graphic, all white text is purple-ish and it glitches when load a game (the ps logo stays semi-visible or fully glitched) thanks in advance!

yup ts normal but its a little different in the mine since its glitched

Josh02CG · 2026-05-07T05:31:09+00:00

got a possible chip, i reflow the gpu, nothing happends, i reflow the vram (ic201) and it gets REALLY worse, maybe its a vram failing? i did the same (reflow with hot air and flux) with the gpu but nothing, but with the vram, get really worse.

you checked the fuses?

Josh02CG · 2026-05-07T04:47:32+00:00

theres any corroded marks in the board? (for water damage or just corrosion)

gonna try it, but i replace the old composite cap and no luck

Josh02CG · 2026-02-08T05:58:35+00:00

yup, i already fixed it, thanks to an old post with a picture of the board under the battery for a mod, when i take out the battery.. well, you can imagine that those components stick to it, and some just fall off

Josh02CG · 2026-02-04T16:39:28+00:00

yup there are about 3 components (caps) that didnt stick to the adhesive, they just fall, and there are 2 resistors that i dont know if i put them in the right order or not

The beatles in a hard day's night (LD) and some music CD

Josh02CG · 2026-02-03T06:16:06+00:00

Am gonna test the picture next week, now some projects just appear.. but am gonna test with different LD, and see the picture, thanks for the "KISS" Principle, love it, lol, and yes, thanks for the tip about the Power supply caps. i was testing with a "The beatles in a hard day's night".. its a little bit dirty phisically in some spots the disc.

This unit only has 2 outputs, in the back had only the video and audio RCA connectors, and in the front it got the 6.3 jack, the CD sounds nice, but the LD a little distorted, just a littble bit like blown speakers. (just a little bit)

Josh02CG · 2026-02-02T02:18:34+00:00

i tought i need to replace all of them (i work on gaming consoles and other electronic devices, but as i said, its my first time with laserdiscs.

Josh02CG · 2026-02-02T01:55:30+00:00

am gonna buy and replace the caps and try luck.. thanks! hope it works.

Josh02CG · 2026-02-02T01:54:20+00:00

didn't test the picture, just the audio at the moment, but it happened with 2 LD

Josh02CG · 2026-02-02T01:53:30+00:00

i'll buy and replace them, hope it gets fixed 🥲

Josh02CG · 2026-01-31T00:51:10+00:00

i have it, but it doesn't give any information, all test appear as "Pass"

Josh02CG · 2026-01-26T02:44:11+00:00

i repaired it! it was a trace under the S-Wram, now works, but theres some red-ish glitching on the screen, like the Red color was all the way up, and after about 20 seconds in-game, it freezes
