Review on 🎮 High-Quality Sony PS3 Laser Lens (KES-450A/ KES-450AAA/ KEM-450A/ KEM-450AAA) - Latest Release by Jesus Cordova

I originally bought a Playstation 3 compatible interchangeable laser lens KES-450A-10021906 and it started, like my own laser, after 2 weeks . I returned it and chose this laser as it must be a Sony OEM part. The laser I received was packaged in a box that didn't say Sony or the manufacturer and there were no markings to suggest it was a Sony part, just like the original PS3 laser . I compared the original to this one and they are identical in every detail except for the numbers on the QR code sticker on one side. The laser that failed after two weeks has a bunch of parts that are different colors or shapes, but it also has a similar QR sticker except the top says "KEM-450 DAA" which is the laser model, which is used on the PS3 thin around 2011 so I think it had to be a high quality OEM part as well, but I could also believe that over time Sony has opted for cheaper, lower quality lasers to replace them to install. Anyway, I'm glad to have a laser that looks at least visually identical to the original and I hope it lasts a long time. This offer also comes with a 1 year warranty instead of 6 months like the other offer. The laser I received also came with the torx screwdriver needed to open the PS3. Useful if you don't have a set of small torx bits, but otherwise it's just another thing cluttering up your toolbox. who slips. Mine only came with a laser (as shown in the product listing) and that's fine. I bought from Nextek. Once installed on my CECH-2001A PS3 Slim 2009, the game loads quickly and on the first try. With the original PS3 Laser it got to the point where I had to put the game in and wait about 3 minutes for it to finally give up and stop spinning the disc. Oddly, it never reported an error, it just didn't show the disk and stopped trying to read it. Then I would have to eject the disc, insert it and wait again. It took longer and longer to recognize the drive over time. Oddly enough, once the disc was recognized, the game or Blu-ray movie usually ran fine. From time to time the game would freeze while loading, usually after muting the sound, but not very often. Most of the instructions I found online explained how to swap out the entire large silver assembly with the KES-450A laser module. The large silver assembly contains a brass-colored corkscrew that moves the laser up and down the disc. To remove the laser module you need to remove one of the round metal rods (the one on the side with the brass corkscrew) that the laser module uses as a guide to slide up and down. This is significantly more difficult than replacing the entire large assembly, but cheaper. Apparently the clamps they use to hold the metal bar have changed several times because my clamps didn't look like the ones in the video I found. It wasn't hard to figure out how to remove them, but be warned: in my build, there were silver screws under each batten, and the screws were covered in blue glue. Removing the screws would loosen the rod, but I'm pretty sure they are used to fine-tune the height of the rod to get the laser head to go right over the surface of the disc. If you break the glue on these screws you will likely have problems as they will no longer adjust to the correct height, if you can even get them back to the correct height. I used videos from fixmyplaystation but as I said his clips were very different than mine.
