So far so good with this replacement laser. It's been a few weeks now and I have had no reoccurring problems. I have heard of replacement lenses wearing out within a few months time, and I will be sure to append this review if such a thing occurs, but so far it appears to be smooth sailing.

If you are tech savvy enough to do the repair yourself I would recommend buying this part, its certainly cheaper and quicker than sending in your console to the repair shop.

The box I saved is one of the big 60GB, I do not know if a different part is needed for one of the newer generation playstations. Good luck to anyone attempting a repair

I installed this laser after my PS3 stopped reading (and therefore spinning) any kind of media disk. Here's my thoughts in bullet point since I don't feel like writing creatively to make a nice story.

Don't be nervous about doing this yourself. I managed to have tiny gears in the loading arm fall out and I was able to cobble it back together. The Blu Ray drive mechanisms are pretty robust. I even did this without any of the proper screw drivers. I spent a lot of time making life much more difficult for myself, so just follow the guides available and don't be stupidly adventurous like me. But if you do something silly, it is not the end of the world and it is not hard to fix.

Get the right tools. It will save you a lot of time.

I used tiguy99's guide to do this since I prefer pictures to a video, some Googling will find the PDF for you.

My new laser did not have any plastic protecting the lens for shipping, but supposedly it might so check for that before installing.

If you want to be lazy, only the guide rail on the motor side needs to be taken out; the other one can stay and the laser can still be removed.

You do need one white plastic clip from your old laser, but it's one screw and is easy to transfer.

There's one review on here that claims the part stopped working after a month, so if that happens I'll come back and yell about it.

My laser came in two days with standard shipping.

So far, so good. Easy install and my dumb PS3 is back working properly.

My PS3 60GB stopped reading all discs; after watching many YouTube tutorials, I ordered the part and everything is as good as new again. (There's a white plastic piece from your old laser you'll need to transfer to the replacement laser.) Item arrived in a plastic case which protected the laser from any damage. It's a good idea to disassemble your Blu-ray drive first to verify the part# as different model PS3's have different laser part#'s as they're NOT interchangeable.

I have replaced several lenses before this one, so I installed this in my PS3 quickly and easily. I tested it before reassembling the system and everything was working perfectly. After getting my playstation back together, I retested it and then started playing a game. After about an hour and a half, the game froze. I ejected the disc and restarted the system. I reinserted the disc, but it would not read it. I inserted a dvd and it could no longer read that either. I have emailed the company (Interfuse) for a replacement and I'll let you know how it goes.

UPDATE: Interfuse emailed me a pre-paid shipping label so I didn't have to pay to send the defective one back. Once they recieved the defective unit they sent me a replacement, free of charge. It should be noted that the first (defective) laser the they sent me had a flimsy brown colored tab where the ribbon cable connects. The new replacement one has a black tab just like the OEM one had. It has been working great for two weeks now and hopefully will last a long while. It's a great product if it works correctly. Out of 4 replacements I have bought from different companies, one lasted a month, one lasted an hour, one has gone strong for about 4 months now and we'll have to see how long this one lasts.

So first of all I heard from around the internet that replacing the laser is a bad idea because it dies out fast and still costs a decent amount. I am here to tell you that I have had mine for over a month with NO problems at all! The reason i replaced it in the first place was because it was reading games just fine, but would start to skip, mute out all vocals (not sounds or music for some reason) and then freeze. Replacing the laser has fixed all those problems except that the motors that take the disc in and the optical sensor broke, so discs will not go in but that is from my carelessness opening the blu0ray case. I have found out i can leave the system open and place the disc under the magnet sensor manually though, with some technical skill. As always, watch some tutorial videos on youtube and make sure you know what you're doing. Once you get the entire thing open, replacing the laser part is EXTREMELY easy! All you need is the old white piece. All in all, this piece is great and makes your ps3 new!
