I hooked up my PS1 just now because I was going to play with a nephew, the ps starts but suddenly it takes me to the memory car or cd player screen, when I check the cd wasn't spinning, each and every time I checked the cd didn't spin. What can be the problem? |

The CD menu is the default for no disc. As previously mentioned, try another disc. If you dont have one, try a CD. If the CD plays they then spinner and laser are functioning, but may be dirty or loose. It could also just be the disc itself. Are you trying this on a Playstation (fat gray brick) or a PS1 (small white slim version)? |
| sheep2001:
If it's an original phat ps1, try turning it upside down after you boot up. Seriously, lots of friends had to do that to get anything to boot on theirs. It definitely means your drive is screwed, but it will stay alive for quite a while like this if it works. |
| Megatron:
It's also possible that the lid is not securing, or the button isn't being pressed inside. When the lid closes it presses a button. If not pressed, the disc won't spin |
