Care to share? I haven't dealt with those... (heard of the controller port thing, but that's it)

This is from a guy's site, I think he calls himself fackue, I tried the random reset and controller ports and both of them worked.

PSX as in the first playstation, right? Not the PSX only released in japan.

Anyway, there are several issues with the PS1, namely overheating and the laser going out of whack. You might wan't to try standing them vertically(ps2 style) as that's been known to help. There are other solutions as well, if standing it up doesn't work
