Yeah, that's probably it. It's not getting enough juice so it's just sorta fizzling a bit. I'm sure the amperage isn't enough either.
Ah, thanks for letting me know. I had a feeling that might be it when I realized the adapter was different than the one's that came with them. I'll have access to one of the original adapters tomorrow to test it out.

Problem has been confirmed as being caused by using an incorrect power adapter not giving the PSone enough juice. A big thanks to everyone who replied!

that's great you solved the problem. All you need now is to install a chip.
PSone, Xbox, PS2, DC, SS Mod Service, PM for details

Gotta get me a power adapter that works first, but I have a chip in my earlier grey model PS1 already so if I do put a chip in the PSone one it'll be later on down the road.
