If the Blu-Ray disc drive in your PS3 isn't working properly then
it is likely that the lens has broken. Sony will charge you around $150
to repair this problem, which is a huge sum of money, not to mention
that you will have to wait probably more than six weeks to get your
console returned to you in working condition. In this article you are
going to learn how to fix PS3 laser errors yourself, with step-by-step
instructions. You can repair your PS3 Blu-Ray drive yourself, and it
really isn't that difficult to do at all.
What you will need to fix your PS3 laser:
• Mini-screwdriver set (cross-headed screwdrivers)
• Spare Blu-Ray drive laser lens (these can be purchased off eBay, or taken from other Blu-Ray drives, the part number is #kem-400aaa) It's available http://www.zeromartz.com/kem-400-aaa-laser-lens-deck-for-ps3-p-1028.html of $60.90
• An hour's spare time
• A clean, well-lit workspace
Here's how to fix PS3 laser errors by replacing the Blu-Ray lens yourself:
1. Remove the top cover from your PS3, along with the power plug for the Blu-Ray unit.
2. Lift the Blu-Ray drive from its seated position and very gently unclip the silver data ribbon (it should have a blue colored ending on it)
3. Remove the two silver screws on the top/bottom of the right-hand side, and the three black screws on the left-hand side of the drive.
4. Lift off the metal casing of the Blu-Ray unit., exposing the actual workings of the unit beneath.
5. Unscrew the screws on the black colored plate which covers the lens circuitry. Remove this plate carefully.
6. Remove the Blu-Ray lens screws, then remove the lens unit itself.
7. Put your new lens in, ensure it is seated correctly, then start screwing everything back together (just reverse the above instructions)
8. Voila, your PS3 should be working again as new!
