If your PlayStation is displaying faulty video, emitting choppy audio, or just isn’t booting properly, the motherboard may need to be replaced. This guide will take you through the process of replacing the motherboard, which houses all of the processors and A/V connectors.
Note: This repair is demonstrated on a SCPH-1001 model. The process may differ slightly if you have a later model.

Pull the optical drive power cable straight up and out of its socket on the motherboard to disconnect it.
I broke the optical drive power cable’s socket off from the motherboard! How to put it back on?
Please try not to pull via the wires as you run the risk of breaking the cable, in which if you have a replacement reader like mine you will need this cable again as it didn’t come with one. I recommend wiggling it from each side. Seems to work for me.

Yes, could try clean and re-solder, and do a proper re-work job.
