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 or adjust it and not have to worry about replacing it until you need to or you replace the console. | '''This is not a proper fix! This is a fix to rescue a unit you had fail you already own or got and realized it was sold because of this. Treat it accordingly.''' | 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. You can '''potentially''' fit the KSM-440BAM(PSOne White) laser in the models that use this, and even the ones that don't support it officially from what I am reading. HoweverA lot of these do require modification, I did not testthough. All of the models this so I don't know how one would get itmod works on natively need a modification done. This seems like it means you are going, where additional plastic is added to be doing some hardware modifications to make work tier installlift the laser. | | | '''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 do better. ''' |
