Slim Laser Lens Replacement KES-450A KEM-450AAA with Deck for For CECH-2001A CECH-2001B CECH-2101A CECH-2101B Sony Playstation3 PS3

I purchased this product a few weeks ago as my PS3 slim 120GB(purchased in late 2009) model had stopped reading disks. Some older games worked after multiple trials but games like Uncharted 3 and other Blu-ray movies had ceased to detect no matter what.After going through a few reviews here as well as some online content and watching few video tutorials, I decided to try this product myself. Replacing the part itself is pretty simple if one follows the videos on YouTube. After the replacement, I was overjoyed to see that my PS3 was back to the way it was when I purchased it. It's been 3-4 weeks now and I have not faced any problems.With the old lens, some of the games used to hang when left paused for a while. I left one such game paused overnight and was able to continue from where I had left off without any problems.Overall I am very satisfied with the product and highly recommend it to anyone facing similar issues with their PS3 Slim.

To start off, my ps3 has not been reading disc for at least 11 months since 2012 started, and I could never find a way to actually clean the lens or fix it, but then I did some snooping around and found this product for like a little over $20.00, I knew this was what I needed. Also, waiting for a package that you know is the key to fixing your game...is un-bareable, but after it got here I ABRUPTLY switched the broken lens with this one which I must say was very beautiful lol. No scratches, not used, worked on first try even till' this day! I SUPER recommend this to anyone who has a (PS3 SLIM) that wont read blu-ray disc, DVD's, makes weird noises, etc. Now if I could only find a way to get that wireless studio headset for a cheap price....lol

Worked perfectly. People saying it looked used, it’s new “old” stock. Meaning it’s been sitting in a warehouse for years, as they no longer produce the part. My advice, use rubber gloves, even a small amount of oil off of your skin can cause malfunctions. Also, if of course you have no idea what you were doing, you should just takes it to a shop to be repaired. Or someone who does. I will update if any issues come along. However, sounds like it did new so I don’t foresee any.

Shipped in 1 week (really fast for where I live)Installed it following this video: [...]I stopped the video at the point where he removed the whole deck, since the video is in fact for the LASER replacement and not the actual deck, but to replace the laser you have to remove the deck. So, when he removed it, I paused, put the new deck and re-assembled.First try didn't work, still don't know why. Just took it apart and put it again once more, triple checked everything and it worked (read the disc WAY faster than my stock laser did when it worked)Love the price; could not find any price even close to it, and even then no other seller offered 6 months warrantyOnly "con" is this:Given my little knowledge about blu-ray lasers, this is simply paranoia. Still, I think it should be an obvious concern. The plastic box the bluray deck came in touched both the bluray and dvd lasers (barely; but it touched them). As I recall, and as evidenced by so many failures related to PS3 Slim's laser, both bluray and dvd lens are extremely delicate; especially the bluray one. I just fear that, even though it works now, a bit of dust went from the plastic box to the lens, or maybe that the plastic box forced the lens and that this will make it not last long. I hope that, if I'm right, it stops working before the 6month warranty; I don't want to spend another $60 on this...All in all, very happy with this product.

Worked initially, but after a trying a separate disc, it now fails to read any PS3 games at all.

Product shipped the 14th of November; estimated delivery was November 19-26, but I received my package on the evening of the 17, which was great (I'll chalk that up to my proximity to the shipment center). Nevertheless I'm extremely pleased it arrived early!Installation was a breeze; this isn't the first time I've had to get a new laser. Fortunately since the shaft/motor came with the the laser part, it took much less time to install than it would've had I solely bought the laser part. I gave it a small pat with 90% IPA before I installed it, as the lens looked like it was up against the plastic container it was shipped in (which I wasn't the happiest about).However, my Blu-ray drive is alive once more!! Runs like a charm at the moment. 5 stars for now, but I'll certainly update this review if something happens over the next six months or so. My last replacement lasted about a good 8 months of heavy BF3 play, so hopefully this one will last a bit longer, as most of the extremely BD-intensive games I play I've acquired digitally since. Good purchase if you want to avoid having to spend $150 to send your PS3 to Sony, provided you have a little patience and tiny bit of technological savvy.NOTE: My model is a 120GB PS3 Slim, Model No. CECH-2001 (early 2010ish). Make sure you quadruple-check your PS3 models when purchasing parts!!!

Sony Service Center refused to repair the same... Thanks for supplying the product... Now the PS3 is working fine....

Product exactly as expected. Just look online for video instructions on how to change out the old one. Fixed my problem of not loading disk. Recommended
