Playstation 1 Eject Button Stuck

[Erencikefe]

I have bought myself an old chipped Ps1. It works good, the lens and everything overall is good. But when i opened the disc tray a burned cd dropped down as intended because seller also included a copy disc. But when i tried to close the tray it just doesnt close. The button is literally stuck inside. Should i just clean it with an object or should i tear it down? An suggestions?

This video will guide you on how to fix in general but I DO NOT recommend you cut or trim anything. Instead, thoroughly clean the parts and if you have any plastic safe lubricant like "synthetic grease", "PTFE", white lithium grease, etc use a bit of that on the shaft of the button itself and the slider mechanism that you unscrew to take the button out. Also if after fixing it the spring feels a bit soft to your liking you can stretch it out a tiny bit to get better spring-back after pressing the button.



here is an additional video on the same topic but I haven't reviewed it personally.

I managed to get it open and cleaned it properly and it works now. Thanks!
