I have a PlayStation 1, and i have decided to make a new teardown of it.
I'm spanish, so my english is a bit poor, and sorry for the mistakes made in this teardown.
Without further delay, we start.

Disconnect both CD-ROM connectors.

CD connector one and the socket it connects to.

CD connector two and the socket it connects to.

Remove the CD-ROM reader. You should be able to pull it out gently, although you may have to wiggle it around a bit to loosen the rubber holders.

Now you have the motherboard!

And the power supply.

One comment
That’s a PAL PS1. May be different from NTSC models.
So far looking good. I'm commenting as you are making this teardown.
