40gb Ps3 Laser
« on: April 10, 2009, 04:01:00 PM »

Hello all,

I had an 80GB ps3 that I replaced the laser by buying the deck/laser combo.  Everything went well and working fine.

I also picked up a 40GB ps3 recently that was not reading games.  Upon opening up the system, it was a KEM-400aaa deck.  

My question is, what laser do I get?
Do I still get the KES400a?  Or is it the 410-aca lens?

What confuses me is the KEM400aaa deck.  Is it the same for all consoles?
On ebay, I see different model decks.  Does that matter?

thanks, i was all ready to get the KES400a lens from an ebay store.

auction

but they were so adamant that it wouldn't work for the 40gb.  
I explained to them that I had the same lens, but they still said it wouldn't work.  
I've ordered from them before and like their service. I just thought there were some firmware that wouldn't make it work.

Thanks!
