For some time our PS3 Slim on the shelf and let no DVD or BluRay media more. At the time when the error occurred the first time, the PS3 was tender nine months old. Well, that should fall under the warranty by common sense still. I was wrong, I was told, Sony has (which in any case ensure only twelve months warranty), among others, the laser unit under the guarantee excluded. Reason: Too many defects! Please send to Sony is possible to cost 80 Euro for estimate and repair about 150 Euro. The cost estimate is however offset.
That's modern robber barons for me!
After some search, which laser unit is the right one for my PS3 Slim, I came across this model. Unfortunately, there are several models of the laser unit, even in the slim models with each other. Therefore looks exactly which laser fits your PS3!
Again, I have watched as my iPhone repair, first on a large video platform, such as the exchange of equip goes and especially if I all zutraue me at all ...
First of all, it's special tools (at least in my PS3 Slim with 320GB). In four screws on the housing a Torx with safety nipple was used in the middle. Otherwise it is just to Phillips screws and plug or clampable ribbon cable. Who should not have the special tools, can be remedied with a slotted screwdriver. But here tact is needed in order not to destroy the screw heads.
All in all, the exchange is relatively simple. With the aid of videos, you can do everything pretty easy to perform step by step. The video can be found under the search term: "KEM 450 DAA" at the large video platform. Our PS3 reads back all the media and the gaming or movies-night stands nothing more in the way ... Perfect!
Conclusion:
Absolute buy recommendation for anyone who wants to fix your PS3 yourself. Here you can save a few euros and above all time, over the repair at Sony ...
