does it just go to the memory card screen ?
does it spin up at all
5502 that machine is 14 years old now!!!
anyway try turning the machine upside down as well
Hello,
I'm having a problem on a modchipped original PS (model SCPH-5552).
When i insert a game on the PlayStation , the console tries to read the CD , but it can't. It always tries to boot unsuccesfully.
I don't know what modchip is , since i'm not the owner of the console , neither the owner knows it.
If you could help , i would appreciate.
Thank you,

Hi ozchips,
1- I turn on the PS , the CD spins for a while , then stops for a second , The CD spins again , stops for 4 or 5 seconds , and then goes to the main menu and spins again. It just spins the CD , but doesn't load the game.
This happens in both original and backup CD's.
2-Will try that (turn the machine upside down).

try the upside down trick first
check the laser make sure its free
how is the spindle complete/free?
it may need adjusting or a replacing
check the mod make sure there is no loose wire in there
ok try it , but more than likely it is age , if tha does not work you adjust the gain and bias and see if that helps , also can you see wether the sled ie the piece that the laser slides backwards and forwards on is made of plastic or alloy ?
If upside down doesnt work, always found on the familys numerous playstations over the years... try putting it on its side. Used to wedge one between 2 books lol
Always worked a treat...
