If you are the owner of an original release 60GB PS3 console or the early 40GB models and your console has stopped reading games or movies are starting to jolt and hang there is a good chance the only problem is the laser has died or is close to dying. You can fix the problem by changing over the laser or the laser and mechanism like this replacement PS3 KEM-400AAA, note that in most cases you don’t need the entire mechanism and the KES laser alone will do the job, but for those that don’t want to take chances and like the idea of not only the laser itself being brand new but the spindle motor and worm drive as well then these brand new PS3 KEM-400AAA replacement will be the solution for you. Also note that these PS3 KEM-400AAA lasers are 100% brand new and never been installed in a console before and are the best solution to get your console back up and running.
The original 60GB consoles only came with the KEM-400AAA laser and mechanism installed, so if you are the owner of a 60GB you won’t need to open the console to check if you have a KEM-400AAA or not, but if you are the owner of a 40GB or any other size original fat PS3 console you will need to open it up to see if you have the KEM-400AAA installed or the dual eye 410ACA. It’s easy to tell the KEM-400AAA apart from the 410ACA as the 400AAA has a single eye on the lens of the laser where the 410ACA has two lens eyes.
