    @rockabillysilly You probably shouldn’t clean the laser in a ps3, especially the older PS3′s because the lens is very delicate, unless you used something specifically designed for Blu-Ray lenses, but I haven’t seen many of those products on the market

    Have you tried rebuilding the PS3 database or resetting the PS3 from the service menu? Sometimes the files system gets corrupted and these 2 methods will get your PS3 back on track. If you are interested just search youtube there are tuts on here

    How much is it for a new laser? Where could I buy it?

  12. Rangachi

    I guess he showed it so that the people that just got the laser without the deck thing would be able to apply their new laser on their old deck I guess it’s helpful cause I wouldn’t have probably notice the 2 pieces that were on the lens itself so yah I think it’s good info.

    Why did you replace the laser lens when you had a spare laser drive with a new lens in it.

    arent you making it harder on yourself?

  14. puiudaniel

    my bluray dont read any disc. the clock is loading forever in the right upper corner. the bluray is not making any noise. i cleaned the lens. still it dont read the discs. everything else is working perfectly. i found the full deck of the laser on amazon for 80$ manufactured by sony. what do u recommend me? should i buy it? will this 100% solve my problem?

    I made it up to the screws for the railing, but they seem too tight to get loose. I’ve tried a few different screwdrivers but they really seem to be stuck in there. Any help for this?

    Its called “MADE IN CHINA” Folks! Things last one year, then die. The Laser is responsible for reading/writing data to the disc. With the PS3, it just reads data, not writes, to the disc.

    kem400aaa isnt it for the latest ps3^??? can you get out your disk after installing the new mech? because some have problems with it. how to change the laser on the mech??

  21. rickalmond

    i had warranty, so they replaced it for free, but exactly 1 year later it did the same thing, drive wont read disk, and it totally sucks!

  22. rickalmond

    can you help me find video to replace the kes400a laser of the OLD mech? i found the mech and laser on ebay, and i think its the one you are talking about!

    Ur vid is great, although I managed to jack it up. I replaced the laser and mech. After I was done, it wouldnt accept discs. I figured out that I put the copper ribbon in upside dwn, after I fixed that my PS3 would take the disc make a few funny sounds and that was it. I tried ejecting the disc but it wouldnt work either. I had 2 push open the gate 4 the disc 2 come out. I replaced the new mech w/ the old 1 and put the new laser on the old mech and it works great. tuk me 7 hrs to figure it out.
