Replacement KEM 450AAA CECH 2001A CECH 2001B CECH 2101A Review

So my PS3 ruined the bed and I was thinking of replacing everything. Too expensive, I went to a few places to find a replacement and settled on this one. It was well packaged but that has nothing to do with the quality of the product. It took me about an hour and a half to tinker (I have no idea what I'm doing) to reassemble Frankenstein for PS3. SAVE YOUR OLD HARD DRIVE! It has a part that needs to be connected to the new one, which even the YouTube video didn't show. It is based on the PS3…

Bought one of these and had to wait 2 weeks for delivery. Dude I was annoyed when I took it out of the box and I could already tell it was useless. The thing was so wrinkled it looked like I'd been dropped a couple of times and slipped on the floor. It didn't even have tabs to hold the thing in place, they just snapped off. I figured since I've waited so long I might as well try this. You know, it won't even try to retract the windows. Extremely disappointed, not necessarily with the product…

Our PS3 had problems reading discs of all kinds; We narrowed it down to a floppy drive and when we got it it already had a few scratches. As soon as we installed it, it had a loud, scary grinding noise and still wouldn't read discs. So we announced we were going, but a good shot and installed our original floppy drive and it worked._. but shortly after that we found that he was reading discs whenever he wanted which was very frustrating and he was freezing! We did further investigation and…

Product First. It worked! I swapped the board inside, assembled it, it still works. There are no instructions and the product was not shipped in anti-static packaging. (Electrostatic discharge) However, it is clear that the product has been repaired or at least used. The seller has listed a NEW listing, but it's not new. The Square Trade Guarantee is a good thing to get with this product. I gave three stars because it was delivered on time and the product worked. Deducted two stars because the…

So you know because I didn't notice until I put it in and it didn't work. This is not a simple hard drive replacement. You have to disassemble both hard drives and swap the circuit boards. Luckily I built my own computers in my day so it wasn't too bad. Also, the two screws were sealed with some insanely hard alien tech stuff, lol. I had to burn/melt it to soften it. Then the screws fell out when I reassembled them because they were too small. Also, the screw on the back broke and I had to glue

This item worked great and had good instructions. Bottom line, my drive spindle was broken, but not the logic board attached to it, which is what usually happens with PS3 and other gaming systems. So it was easy to remove a defective hard drive, replace the circuit boards and install. The drive I bought here did come with the board attached, but it needs to be flashed with a system security key in order for it to work, and apparently that's a tricky operation (compared to replacing it, at…
