Now it stutters, skips freezes all the time. Installed it, and it worked for about an hour. I got another KSM-440 AEM laser assembly in the mail yesterday. Yep, it's good to stock up on replacement PSX laser assemblies just in case if the need arises. Eventually, Datel came up with a PSX CD-Rom version of the Gameshark + the usage of a standard PSX memory card (to save & implement GS codes) to work around the issue of those PSX consoles not have an I/O port.

The very last PSX console with the proper I/O port was the 7550 series (for the North American market), then SCEI went ahead with removal of the I/O port on the 9000/9001 series of PSX consoles so you couldn't use those cool PSX I/O port based Gameshark or Goldfinger cheat devices on it.

Using a PSX mod chip in conjunction with a Goldfinger on a PSX with parellel I/O = priceless fun indeed They used to sell at MSRP of $39.99 USD back in 1999-2000.

He proceeded to replace the old one and got a newer laser assembly from another PSX (he had a bunch of used PSX consoles in stock so that wasn't a problem). Took it into a local game shop and the owner said that it would need a newer laser eye assembly. Many moons ago, my modded PSX with SCPH-5501 model number was acting up and would incessantly spin the official PSX game disc(s) but not load it up. Help me Shmup forum, you're my only hope. It's really strange and kinda frustrating. Which from what I read are pretty dependable and it's the same model laser assembly that comes stock in the ps1 9001. The assemblies I'm using are the KSM-440 AES. Or maybe these parts are just made like crap? When I put my old assembly back in my ps1 it works perfectly. I've spent hours upon hours searching the net and from what I can tell installation is a breeze.

None work! After I instal the new assemblies I try running an authentic scratchless ps1 game and it won't read the disc, at all.

I got them in the mail and I decided to test them out before sticking them in the closet. So I ordered 3 from ebay, from 3 different sellers. But I'm looking to get a few replacement laser assemblies just in case my current one begins to fail. I have a modded playstation 1 model 9001 and it works great. I'm kinda new here and I have an issue I'm hoping somebody could maybe help me with.
