Precise replacement for PS3 Slim Laser

I've been actively using my PS3 Slim for three years. Anyone who owns one knows that the heat dissipation of these things is terrible, and I believe the heat eventually killed the laser. The machine accepted my disc but wouldn't spin and then made a noise like it was being ejected but the disc stayed in the machine. After some research, this was a symptom of a dead laser. I'm a relative newbie when it comes to working with electronics, but this solution was very easy with the help of YouTube. One problem I had was that the part number on the laser I received didn't match the number listed or the number that came off my machine. I got an immediate reply from the supplier that it was a newer laser version of the later Slims and after some googling this was confirmed. I am three months old and the laser works perfectly. * When repairing, make sure the cable is firmly connected to the bottom of the drive. The plug is in terrible shape and it took me a few times to get it right. To be honest I don't think the laser itself is new. It was probably copied from another PS3. It came "naked" in a small box, buffered form - no anti-magnetic tape, not even a bag. I don't care about that though - it worked and I don't expect either of these lasers to be really new.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • For pensioners
