Playstation (SCPH-9002) Player 1 Controller Port Not Functioning Repair:
A friend saved this SCPH-9002 PS1 from being thrown away because Player 1 controller inputs were not working and passed it over to me to have a look at today:
After some easy disassembly I have the controller ports removed:
Hmm can you see what might be the problem here:
After trimming off the broken traces I epoxy bond the contact back down to the PCB:
Using a Fibreglass Pen I exposed the Copper on the broken tracks:
With a bit of Kyna wire the tracks are re-connected.
Please excuse the poor workmanship as I’m doing this as a freebie ASAP repair :
Re-assembled:
And working again:
