andlid Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Anyone had to do that? Think I fried mine a while back just tried the 'clean lens procedure' and that made feck all difference so now I've ordered a new laser pack online... was thinking that I'd try out MW2 on it but since I tried it yesterday and was hopelessly crap I ordered it for PC instead... just to remember I no longer own a good gamer PC I'll see what I can find in the closet So anyone out there had the laser problem?

kObi Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 never had the laser problem yet, but incase you haven't looked here's some help replacing it. http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=70948 Tell us how it goes! Quote
sunset350z Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Typical after reading this my ps3 wont play games or films Seems like i may have to strip it down, which looks pretty straight forward, and clean the lens. If that doesn't work, the best price i've seen for a replacement laser, is a shop from Hong Kong for £39.99 on the dreaded Ebay. Anyone know of a less risky purchase nearer to home? Quote
kObi Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 http://www.virtualvillage.co.uk/kes-410 ... 1-007.html £47 http://www.hanger.org.uk/h/hangershop/categories/PS3/ obviously paying a little more but these seem to be from the uk. mind you will need to open it up to see what laser you need. Quote
lamby Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 sunset see topic viewtopic.php?f=13&t=29974 did u have the same problem as me coz its looking like i have to do the same Quote
andlid Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 the disc error i think is ok to just clean the lens, I got lens cleaner and stuff and did the necessary operations to open the box and clean it... obviously didnt work. thanks for the forum link they are deadly! A Quote

Thanks for the link Kobi, the "hanger" site is really good. I need the kes 400a version and its a good price for £44.99. Also the dualshock controller is cheap from there only £26.99 Quote
kObi Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 hey no worrys im not exactly much use when it comes to cars, but when its computermabob/gadgety things im more than happy to scouer the interweb for help. Quote
andlid Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 ordered mine from consoleworks... said low stock and now they are 'waiting' for stock! Quote
sunset350z Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I've got my PS3 all stripped down and giving the lens a good clean. Its amazing how much dust and fluff has accumalated inside the console over the past 2 1/2 yrs, gonna give it a bit of a delicate vacuum as well before it goes back together. Lets hope it works otherwise a new laser is next on the list Its not that difficult to take apart and now i know the model number of the laser if i need it. I'll keep you updated, fingers crossed Quote
lamby Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 i have just stripped mine down and cleaned the lens and i can now lay dvds and PS2 games but not blueray or PS3 games ordered laser also should be here soon hopefully Quote
lamby Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 i was surprised at the amount of dust inside but it was less than i was inspecting cleaned mine all out aswell while it was in bits Quote
sunset350z Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Well i'm really fed up of my PS3, again like Lamby mine plays music and dvd's but it aint playing games and blu ray So need to buy a laser and hope that cures it. Quote
lamby Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 in the same boat mate i feel and share your pain hopefully my laser will be with me on friday or saturday Quote
andlid Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 hope that mine will be here soon ... was told it was 'shipped' two days ago... still no tracking number ... Quote

andlid Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 oh thats not good where you get it from mate??

If I dont hear anything tomorrow I think I'll cancel the order and order from one of the other links here (cheaper anyway) Quote

andlid Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 got it in the post today, bad me for doubting consoleworks in the first place! was the caddy type and all, ended up taking the laser module out of it though to much hassle trying to get the whole thing off working sweet, spent the last two hours playing army of two Quote
kObi Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 hey, well done! glad you got it fixed and glad it doesn't seem to be too hard to fix! Enjoy! Quote
andlid Posted November 27, 2009 Author Posted November 27, 2009 Etty hey, well done! glad you got it fixed and glad it doesn't seem to be too hard to fix! Enjoy! Pretty straight forward if you follow that link u posted it was a great one, don't be afraid and keep fingers off the laser bit Quote
lamby Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 congrats mate im still waiting for mine my hard drive has come tho iv fitted that Quote
sunset350z Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Fitted the new laser today and now i have a slight problem I don't know how it happened but the very thin red and black cables have detached themselves (snapped off) from the yellow male plug, and the whole thing is so small i cant even fix it. Just scoured the internet and found the part (which is called CP03034 2pin cable for the ps3 dvd drive) only problem apart from the fact that you can only buy it with the little circuit board attached why i do not know, its direct from the manufacturer in china and i can only buy in bulk, so Mr Jay Wang informs me. 8 US dollar per cable and a minimum order of 20 pcs. $160 plus $39 for postage. Then of course the custom charges In short unless i can get hold of this cable from a dealer in this country for a lot less than that, i may well be scrapping my PS3 and buying a new one on top of the other two PS3's i'm buying our boys for xmas. Where's a lotto win when you need it? Quote
sunset350z Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 This is the cable i need, as you can see there is a circuit board with it, but apparently they haven't got any stand alone cables available even though it can be detached from the board Go figure http://firstsing.en.alibaba.com/product ... r_PS3.html Anyone here that can help me out?
