Hi everyone. I posted this on another forum with no response so far. I know there are some knowledgeable people here so here goes.
I visited a thrift store today and saw a white PSone mini for $4 with no cables. I bought it since I never owned this smaller design and brought it home. I went to play some Fear Effect on it after I set it up to my CRT and used a Sony power plug that is not the exact original one but fits in the unit. It powers on but there is absolutely no spinning of the disc or sound from the drive. Do you guys know if this means the laser is dead? Any help would be much appreciated. I was also thinking that even if the laser needs to be replaced wouldnt i still get the splash screen or could it possibly be the plug by chance? Again any help would be awesome.
