Hey folks, my trusty old PlayStation 1 has decided to randomly reset itself during play sometimes. It's completely random... playing Resident Evil 2 it'd happen like every 15-20 minutes, but I played HOURS of Symphony of the Night with no issue, until just now when I sat down to play and it reset AS IT WAS LOADING MY SAVE. Luckily, my memory card wasn't corrupted, but now I'm too scared to play it.
It seems that it's caused by a loose power socket. I'd just buy a replacement power supply but I can't seem to find one that matches my model (SCPH-5501). Does anyone know how to repair this particular problem? I'm not GREAT at soldering but I've worked on a couple of arcade sticks so I can do some basic stuff.
Before anyone says I should just replace the entire PS1, I'm rather attached to this one since it was a gift from my mother. Also playing PS1 games on a PS2 isn't always the best experience. Symphony of the Night in particular features really annoying music skips.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
