I never had problems with my Ps1 or 2.But for this one I blame maybe my moving + airport baggage service, dunno Whenever I try to put a mem card in the slot 1, it detects nothing..though the 2nd slot works.The problem is that half of the games save only on the slot 1.SO, I suspect there might be a problem with the cable, connecting the slot 1 with the motherboard,Im supposed to go to some repair service, or is it also possible to buy a cable\mem slot part\whatever and repair it myself *not myself,but somebody whos 'friedly' with electronics?
