KEM-450EAA Laser Lens with Deck Compatible with PS3 Slim

Description

Fix disc reading errors and restore your console’s optical drive with a complete laser and deck assembly.

If your console takes a long time to load games, fails to read certain discs, or makes a clicking sound while trying to spin up, the internal optical laser has likely worn out. This third-party KEM-450EAA replacement part includes both the laser lens (KES-450EAA) and the mechanical sliding deck (KEM assembly). Buying the full deck assembly makes the repair significantly easier, as you do not need to detach the delicate laser eye from the old slider rails.

Disclaimer: This is a third-party aftermarket replacement part. It is not manufactured, licensed, or endorsed by Sony.

Common signs of laser failure:

• Console fails to recognize or read inserted discs
• Games take unusually long to load or freeze during gameplay
• The drive spins up, clicks, and then stops reading
• Console reads DVDs or CDs but fails to read Blu-ray game discs
• Error codes related to invalid or unreadable discs

Key features:

• Complete assembly — Includes both the optical laser lens and the mechanical carriage deck for easier installation
• Model specific — Designed as a direct compatible replacement for drives requiring the KEM-450EAA part
• Quality tested — Each laser module is bench-tested for reading accuracy prior to packaging
• Secure transit — Packed in a reinforced box to protect the highly sensitive optical eye

Crucial Compatibility Notes (Read before purchasing):
There are several different, incompatible laser models used across the PS3 Slim lifecycle. You must open your console and check the model number printed on your original laser deck before ordering.

• Compatible with: PS3 Slim consoles requiring the KEM-450EAA (or KES-450EAA) laser. This is most commonly found in the CECH-30xx series (e.g., CECH-3001A, CECH-3004A) which were typically 160GB and 320GB models.
• Not compatible with: PS3 Slim CECH-20xx (usually KEM-450AAA) or CECH-25xx (usually KEM-450DAA) series. Do not rely solely on the hard drive size, as hard drives can be swapped. Verify the CECH number and internal laser model.
• Installation: Opening the console and the Blu-ray drive requires specialized Torx and Phillips screwdrivers. Professional installation is recommended.
