Hello,
Mother of an 8-year-old boy desperate to play his PS1 again.
The console turns on, the white screen with the orange PlayStation diamond starts up, then a message
Main menu
memory card
cd player
appears and everything locks up but the game doesn’t start
I tried tilting the console when turning it on, nothing works, cleaning the lens didn’t help either!!!!
Please help me!!! A big thank you in advance

Hi, if you put an original music CD, can you access the content?
If you can't, in my opinion, the verdict is clear: dead reading lens.
Back then, replacing the lens assembly (a major flaw in the first series of PS1) cost more than replacing the console, but now I don't think you can even find the part anymore.
The last option, but it will eventually lead to the console's demise with no guarantee it will work (if the lens is dead, it won't come back to life) is to manually adjust the lens with the small crosshead screw just on the side of the reading assembly, but be careful to tighten or loosen it within a tenth of a millimeter and test the console by listening to the rotation speed of the CD. Too fast, loosen. Too slow, tighten. Or visually by blocking the small push button with a matchstick (don't look directly at the lens), you'll then be able to leave the cover open.
There you go, the words of a nostalgic for his good old console.
And long live the PS3!
