A working ps1 on eBay's around 35$ so not sure about that, but to each there own I guess.

I found a video of a guy with a exact same model as me and he had a kind of 3rd party psu, I manage to find it for a decent price (20$) and think I'll take the risk, I won't be that disappointed if it doesn't work because I got the ps1 at a retro thrift store for 2$.

But when I opened up the console only on of the capacitors seem burnt, and the only sign of leakage was from an old capacitor due to time, is there still a chance it could still work is I replace the psu unit?

Dang ok, thanks for the help anyways.
