Best Buy would not cover the repair and did not extend the warranty. Bought a laser package on an auction website and with this tutorial, I am back in action. Thanks again for saving me a ton of money!!

This video is very helpful. I first decided that my PS3 was out of warranty and maybe it would be time to upgrade to a PS4 in the event this didn't work. A super-small flat head worked okay to unscrew the 3 security screws. I took the PS3 apart per the video directions (just to make sure I could) and got the laser name off of the deck. KEM-450AAA. I reassembled the PS3 without issue, except I did forget to put the magnet 3:57 back on top in the drive. I noticed the magnet was laying to the side after I got the drive put back together. Just more practice when I took the drive back apart and put the magnet back on. I received an actual security screwdriver with the new laser I ordered. I just took my time and made sure to put all the screws in particular places so I did not lose or misplace any. I have quite a few PS3 games and blu-ray movies! Glad this worked, thanks for the vid-

My ps3 was making that ejecting sound without actually ejecting the game, and was also occasionally giving me a disc read error. I first thoroughly cleaned the inside, but that didn't do the trick, so I ordered a new laser deck from Newegg and now everything works just perfectly. Thank you for this video!

Great vid. But I want to make sure I actually have to replace my laser before I try to do this. So my PS3 is recently brought second-hand, and at first everything was fine. But then after 40 hours or so play, I noticed the movie intro for my games started to stutter slightly with the drive making disc seeking sounds during each pause. The game itself plays normally at first but when the scene or the bgm changes, the game's loading icon comes up and the drive makes more disc seek sounds. This gets progressively worse with extended play time, with the load delay being upto 10+ seconds (It was originally near instant) until finally it becomes stuck completely with the drive still making seek noises. Turning the system off and letting it rest, I can turn it back on and play for a little while, but the problem comes back and eventually I hit another fatal loading stuck. I've opened the box before to see if it might be a dust problem, but the fans look surprisingly clean and in good working order. So what do you think? And is there anything I should try before trying to look for a replacement laser? I've heard some people say you can just clean the laser, but what do you use to even do that, as I assume the lens is pretty damn delicate...
@alwaysafix

If you are able to disassemble your PS3, you can remove the top cover of the blu-ray drive, as I have done in this video, so you can actually see what is going on with the disk inside. See which part is making the clicking sound and get back to me.

The ejecting sound that you talk about could actually be the sound of a faulty laser. The laser clicks as it tries to focus. If the Play Station plays some blu-ray games you also have to consider the other games might have dirty or scratched disks.

Had the read disc error (the one when it makes that eject sound but the disc doesnt come out) and the solution (in my case) was simple: reset factory settings by completely (not fast) formatting the hard drive.

Thanks for the great video. I have two quick questions if you have the time to answer them: #1: Do you know how reliable these replacements are? I've read up a lot on my issue, and most of the information is old, 2008-2009, about fats. I have a CECH 3001A (160GB slim). These threads tend to say that replacements didn't last for very long, but I know the drives were also different, and that the lasers were second hand or refurbished, as they weren't being made any more. Are these lasers you buy brand new? #2: Wondering if you agreed with my diagnosis of a dying laser: Symptoms: PS3 loads, boots, everything fine. Had problems with two games, MGS4 and Uncharted 1. MGS4 I got to the very end, and it froze on the final credits. Freezes at the exact same moment every time--read the rest of the game perfectly. However, I put a second copy of the game in, a friend's, and it played through. Uncharted is similar--freezes at the same point every time. I thought Uncharted might be HDD related, but it's just AFTER a save, not during. I thought maybe the discs were scratched, but they look almost perfect. I think maybe the laser isn't dead, but is dying and getting weaker, and is having trouble with very tiny imperfections. Guess I'm going to try cleaning the laser first, then resorting to replacing? Thanks again!
