What are my options here? Is the bios swap-able? I'd like to save this unit. It's for a good friend.
We could just swap the board but that defeats the purpose of having a dev PS1. It's basically just a shell now.
Has this bios been dumped and available online? Does the same bios chip model exist for purchase and is flashing it possible? Is there any Sony trickery that prevents any of this from being done.
Symptoms: Freeze on glitched SCEI boot screen. Runs no games.
Thank you
