This video is Part 6 of our "Restoring the Sony PSX DESR-7000" series.
Here we take a look at a weird cold boot issue which looks to be a PSU capacitor problem.
We also have a few loose ends to box off - namely another holey ribbon cable (sighs) and getting to the bottom of that Reset point needed for our Matrix Infinity installation which will be coming in Part 7!
