If your PlayStation is no longer registering controller input or recognizing memory cards, it may be time to replace the controller ports on the console. This guide will take you through the process of replacing this component, which includes the controller ports and the memory card slots in one assembly.

Note: This repair is demonstrated on a SCPH-1001 model. The process may differ slightly if you have a later model.

    • Before you begin, make sure the console is turned off and unplugged.

    • Turn the console upside down and remove the five 15.8 mm-long Phillips #1 screws.

    The SCPH-9001 model does not have the Parallel Port panel to remove.

Abschluss

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

I try replacing the controller and still wouldn't play memory cards.

I changed the controller port but the psx still doesn't recognize any controller. Both controller port and ribbon cable work perfect in other console. I wonder which components on the mother board are related with the controller ports so I can check them with a tester.

The problem on mine is where I can’t use memory card slot 1 but Slot 2 works and is what I use but I would like to used slot 1 and have more than just a single memory card for playing games on it.
