I recently purchased a PS1 model SCPH 5501 and when I put in the game and turned it on it made a buzzing sound and wouldnt read the disc. I have taken it apart and have found nothing wrong. I then tried a cd and it would read the cd but it still made loud buzzing noises and would skip. It also wouldnt let me go to the next song. I then opened it and it turns out that the lens gets stuck and makes that noise and you then have to move it in order for it to stop. Should I return my Ps1 or try to buy new parts or is there anything I can do to fix this?
This is the optical laser lens - the motor is bad, or perhaps some bad gears. There is one for $19.99 - but make sure it fits your version of PS1 - they made a few models back then.
You can get a new one here.

SOURCE: Playstation 2 work read PS2 discs or DVD's. Please Help!
This is a problem with the laser that reads th disks. these lasers have two adjustments on the bottom of them, one for CDs (PS1 games) and one for DVD (PS2 games). It is sometimes possible to adjust the DVD side and get it to work (there are many tutorials on the web on how to do this), but unfortunatly this is a temporary fix. The only real fix is to buy another laser. They are also very abundant on the web (ebay is a great source for them too!). They are very reasonably priced now. Either way the unit will have to be disassembled. Hope this helps you out...

SOURCE: PS2 reads ps1 games but not ps2. Clicking noise
I have trash picked 2 of them and fixed this same problem. Just be prepared to spend some time and be patient. Clean the lens with glass cleaner. Under the lazer is a white gear it turn it two clicks clockwise and try a ps2 game. If it does not work turn it another 2 clicks. 4 clicks seems to be the magic number, after 4 clicks go only one click at a time until the game loads.This has worked numerous time for me. just keep track of how many clicks you do in case you want to bring it back to the original setting for some pointless reason. Good luck.
