PSOne drive problem

This is my faulty PSOne CD drive. The CDs spin in a "loose" way and the drive makes a rattling noise.
Can you help me fix it?

OCCASVS.. can you tell me if you game loads up or what ever.. what happens on the scree with a game in it? does it just go to the memory card/music thing? cus i have that problem with my moded ps1.. i was playing legend of dragoon and in a cut scene it just froze and wont load any games up just goes to the memory card bit and im tryign to get it fixed lol

Thanks for your reply! This is the boot sequence of my PS: -power on -lots of rattling noises (as you can hear on the video) -it tries to load the game (Sony logo on white background) -it DOESN'T display the PS logo on black background -it goes to the memory card menu instead Basically, it can't load anything now. When it still worked, I had random freezes, a/v desync, weird noises, graphical artefacts. Maybe I may try to replace the spindle hub if I find one. Have you fixed your problem yet?

The PS1 laser probably isnt reading the disk. Easy fix would be to replace the cd drive. I believe if you have a 5501-900x series have the same cd drive, and if you have a earlier model, just cutting the plastic a bit will make it fix.

This may be way to late and maybe you'll never read this, but the easiest way would be to replace the cd drive. You could replace just the spindle, as it is slipping by the looks of it, but that would be more work then its worth. Just pick up a old PSONE, and switch the drives out.
