Weird Playstation 1 Graphics & Text

As per photo. Distorted graphics and spelling mistakes.....

 

I cannot provide help, I just wanted to say that is such a beautiful mess.

 

Looks like a side view of Orco from He-Man

Quite possibly video RAM or graphics chip fault. Not really worth repairing.

 

Does it go away with heat? (Let the console run for a while.)

 

Sexy. Is that a SCPH-550x ?

 

Nope its a 1002

And no it doesnt go away with heat

 

The graphis is distorted only on boot or even during the gameplay?

 

Doesnt boot past that screen. Need to configure laser pots

The first white and orange sony screen is fine

 

So it's definitely a laser problem

 

I hate adjusting the 3 pots on the 1002. And havnt had much luck

 

I remember getting weird boot logos similar to that (not as bad though). It was a disk reading error that caused it. The laser died after a while.

 

Any guides to adjusting the pots?

 

Yeah... don't do it without the right equipment It's not something you do willy-nilly.

 

I have a multimeter

 

Here grab a multimeter ... they are cheap and give it a try...


Feel free to ask or pm if needed

 

I did read that guide thats floating around and no luck

 

I see that you already have one multimeter so ... theres nothing to loose right?

 

Yeah true. I definitely wanna keep the glitchy ps1. Then with my other 9 jm gonna hydrodip the casings

 

Also did you tryed that video tutorial?

 

And that's not the right equipment.
