🔧 Sony PS3 Slim Blu-ray Drive Replacement with Laser (KES-450A/ KEM-450AAA) Compatible with Slim Models (120GB, 250GB) + Nextec T8 Screwdriver Review

Works great! The video quality on my Blu-ray actually looks better than on my original disc. The change was very easy for me. I've already watched a video on the internet that explains how to disable the Blu-ray drive. So 15 minutes after the package was handed to me, I was able to use my PS3 again. Note that I've already taken it apart four times, so I can do it pretty quickly. I was only supposed to replace the laser but my daughter threw the toy and got stuck in the driveway. Unfortunately…

This replacement hard drive works great! It took about 45 minutes from start to finish to get my PS3 working again. My old drive started having this clicking/loading noise about a year ago and eventually stopped playing discs altogether. I did a little research, read a lot of reviews and decided to spend some money on this disc instead of buying a new PS3 and it saved me some money! I could replace myself. I found a very good video on YouTube for my PS3 model detailing the disassembly/assembly…

I bought this because my PS3 Slim drive (CECH-2001b) couldn't read discs. Installation was easy following the YouTube video. However, when I've finished installing the product, it won't read any of the discs. also, it makes strange noises when trying to read discs. I disassembled my PS3 more than 5 times to fix the problem. Finally, I found that the magnetic counter that the product offers is smaller than my original drive. Last time I installed my old spinner on a new drive. What you know, it…

I ordered this as my PS3 could no longer read Blu-ray discs. I have a 120GB Slim model - make sure you order the correct product as replacement parts vary for each model. Screwdrivers are included to remove special security screws. All you need is a small set of standard Phillips and flathead screwdrivers. Otherwise, there are YouTube videos that easily walk you through the exchange. Taking something apart and seeing how it works isn't difficult at all and is quite a lot of fun. Take advantage…

If you're planning on replacing a drive, first make sure you do your research! You need to make sure you buy the right disc for your PS3. It took me a while to find the right one, but google is your friend. Just look up the model number on your PS3 and you can find the right disc. I had to buy two drives before it worked. I bought from another seller first because they were a bit cheaper. The item looked new but I noticed the seal on the box was broken before opening it myself so I was a bit…

I ordered this because I had intermittent problems with my PS3 not reading the Blu-ray or freezing during playback. And I ordered this version specifically for the included T8 screwdriver (think I already had 1 or 3 in my toolbox but hey, better safe than sorry lol). Installation was pretty painless judging by the video (fair warning: there's an extra step in the video that instructs you to remove the lens assembly from its black plastic housing. I skipped that and just replaced the entire…

The product is great, it works exactly as described and fixed the blur on my PS3. It seemed a little intimidating to do this project myself but then I realized what I had to lose, PS3 is just a glorified DVD player if I don't fix it. I slowly walked the steps as directed (instructions can be found on YouTube). All of this took about 30 minutes (it's very methodical). I was very surprised when everything worked out when I got back together.
