Hey, I need some help here. I'm one part away from finishing my ps1p.
I glued my diskdrive to the bottom of my case, but now I cannot get my hands into the case to hook the drive to the motherboard.

Any tips? I really dont wanna rip the drive out again, as I have nomore glue left. Like, I can get the white male adapter to hook into the female, but I cant the orange ribbon cable into its slot as I cant get my hands near it when the motherboard is inside the case.

Try tweezers or something.

I'm having a similar problem, but with a regular, un-modded PSX. I disassembled it to see why it wouldn't get past the second screen (First=Sony Computer Entertainment, second is the black background with Playstation), and now, the only thing I can't put back in it's place is that less-than-one-millimeter orange ribbon cable. It's like, the cable is so tiny, but it's slot is even smaller.

Any help on that? (Not getting past the second screen or getting the ribbon cable in)

Get some needle nose pliers, grab the plastic tab and push/wiggle it into the slot.

As for not getting past the Playstation logo screen, it sounds like a disc read problem. Have you tried cleaning the lens?

I think I tried cleaning the lens--meaning I'm not sure what the "proper procedure" is for cleaning the lens. What exactly should I do?

Get a q-tip, dip it in rubbing alcohol, and rub it on the lens. Make sure the q-tip isn't dripping or anything.

Thanks. While I'm at it, any tips for painting this thing? I'm painting it a gloss white (was $.99

) and I have painter's tape for masking everything off.

Edit: Is there any substitution for rubbing alcohol? I actually don't have any right now. :S
