Oh, Does it require soldering? Because i see people soldering.

You don't need to check with a disk inserted.
Just set BIAS as described and GAIN to the position shown in the picture.

Okay, When i set it, Can you give me the mesaurements, but i'm afriad it will make it worse.

You're callibrating wrong, that's for sure. You're supposed to set the BIAS potentiometer first. Put your multimeter in voltage measurement mode and measure between CL708 and CL710 while the console is on but no disk is inserted. Calibrate the potentiometer until you get 0V.

UPDATE: I don't have the SCPH-1001 anymore. I have no luck with that piece of shit model. Many people say its the best model, but it's not!!! I tried the KSM-440BAM laser when my SCPH-1001 arrived and nothing happened. So i'm getting an SCPH-5501 since they have the same BIOS. But is this true that ...

I'm about to open up my SCPH-7501 with the H720 video encoder and 9001 with 2106 encoder so i can find the subcarrier clock differenecs. Where can i find it in the 750x-900x board and what IC number is it? Also my H720 chip on my SCPH-7501 says 833 153. And now i opened up the SCPH-9001 and the 2106...

I have an SCPH-7501 made August 1998 with U68 serial number and when i noticed when i use Composite with a Small Durabrand CRT TV and when it's at the Black PlayStation logo, I noticed that the red was more vivid and on the Sony A2106R and PSone, The Red was more of a pinkish color and how rare is t...

Really you should calibrate it using the eye test pattern on an analog scope... That will get it going. Oh, during the calibration, the laser also requires a slightly higher amount of power for CD-R's, but it's not much. But i don't wanna calibrate it. I'm afriad it'll make things worse as i do not...

Sorry, my crystal ball is hazy ;p I'm just a beginner for an SCPH-1001. You were right, The last 2 1001's i had adjusting the BIAS and GAIN without the tools did make it worse. So basically, If i get the new 1001, and put the new laser in straight away, I won't touch it. And don't forget, I did swa...

Okay, without tools and skills you can only make it worse. So just try the new laser assembly. Chances are, it will work. Do not try to adjust anything if it doesn't work though. Consider sending your console to someone ;) Sorry RAMA3, I'm just a beginner for an SCPH-1001. You were right, The last ...

I just read it and i do not know how to use a mulitmeter. So in these pictures, Green means good push_pull_1.jpg focus_bias_2.jpg . Is it possible to adjust BIAS and Gain without measurement equipment and mulitmeter? Because i have less skills. So would replacing the laser just be good enough? Also ...

What kind of adjustment as i'm not good with it.

I'm about to get an SCPH-1001. I tried the KSM-440-AEM laser and it was unreliable with the scratched copy of Spin Jam. I put the laser back in the SCPH-7501 and tried Spin Jam and it works like a charm. So is it possible to put in the KSM-440-BAM laser in an SCPH-1001 without having to need to adju...
