What is a good reliable source to buy a ps3 laser from? please help - Blu-ray Forum

korollis · 03-26-2009, 06:57 PM

My ps3 stopped playing games, blu rays, standard dvds, and audio cds, i own the 40 gig version, when i put a game in i see the loading bubble but thats about it.

I phones sony and they want to charge me 150 dollars, but for that amount i will instead buy the laser myself and replace it, i've taken it apart already and noticed that when i put a game in the laser shines red, however the disc does not move at all not even a centimeter nothing!

I will be ordering the complete assembly which is the KEM-400A the motor and laser, but my only concer is who do i buy it from?

Please any help would be greatly appreciated, if you have bought a laser from a reliable source please let me know, Thanks in advance.

Rob.

While you wait heres the thread he started on replacing the laser.

I finally found it in his fix it guide.

thanks for everything, but im not as concerned as how to do it since replacing the whole assembly motor and laser is real simple, im more concerned with who to actually buy it from, that is what i am worried about i want to make sure i am buying it from a reliable source.

In his guide he mentioned who he bought it from, and in the end of it showed what kind of lasers to avoid, and which ones are good.
