Introduction |
In this guide, we will be looking at adjusting the trimpot on the PS1 SCPH-5501, to extend the life of the laser. It is quite common for the laser to stop working on these, due to these having a laser assembly that is known to fail in many models. You can replace the laser and or adjust it and not have to worry about replacing it until you need to or you replace the console. | | This will only work on KSM-440ADM laser assemblies, and newer. It will not fix the KSM-440AAM and ACM lasers. These fail because of the plastic wearing unevenly. | | | '''Note on specifics for this adjustment: I cannot give specific adjustment numbers. Every laser will be unique in the amount it needs, and mine has failed adjustment with a 50-60% read rate. If your model has a healthier laser, you can easily do better. ''' |
