No red beam on laser - motherboard issue
Posted: August 2nd, 2017, 2:59 am
Hello guys.
I was playing on my PSX ( 9002 - PU-23 ) and in mid game, the laser stopped working. I looked up onto the laser and when the tray is closed, there is no red beam on the laser ( it is not powered ). However, it is moving up and down trying to read something, but it is not working. I tried in another laser but no luck. I tried the " faulty" laser in another console and it was working perfectly, so it must be motherboard issue.
Do you know where the problem should be or which component should I replace ? I also tried removing the modchip ( mayumi v4 ) but still the same.
