Ok for a start, the Blu ray drives are all over ebay but it is very important you get the right one.
For 40 and 60Gb consoles you will need a drive that has the KEM-400AAA laser and deck inside and the logic board is screwed to the outside of the drive case.
For 80Gb and higher you will need a drive that has the KEM-410ACA laser and deck inside it, The logic board on these drives is actually inside the casing.
Some newer 40Gb PS3's also had the newer type dual laser drive too but they are rare.
The table below shows the standard Blu ray models. Any model newer than the CECHH-** should be using the newer dual laser setup. That would include CECHL,CECHJ,CECHK,CECHM etc etc

Blu-ray lens model Description PS3 models KEM-400AAA The original with single lens (includes mount) CECHA-CECHE KES-400AAA Single lens using cheaper parts. CECHG KEM-410ACA There are two lens, one for CD/DVD, and another one for Blu-ray (includes mount) CECHH KES-410ACA There are two lens, one for CD/DVD, and another one for Blu-ray. CECHH KES-450ACA There are two lens, one for CD/DVD, and another one for Blu-ray. CECH-20xx
One last thing to remember is that you need the logic board that is currently screwed to YOUR drive. This then needs to be swapped to the replacement drive as it is paired to the motherboard and without it your system will never read discs again.

Hope this helps

    The image of the table did not work but as yours is the 60Gb you will need the drive with the KEM-400AAA laser and deck assembly.

Discs not spinning

If the disc is not spinning in your PS3 than that means the disc drive is broken. Your best bet would be to contact sony if your PS3 is still under warranty so they could fix it, or just buy your games digitally and play them without the disc.

My son's ps3 stopped playing games after his disc got jamed. i took it apart and got the disk out. everthing works but it will not play games or dvd's

Hello marcs442!

The PS3 has a common problem with the disc drive. It may have been no fault of your own, but the drive itself may have stopped working. In most areas, local PC shops offer a quick and reasonably priced solution. Most of the time, the disc drive just has to be replaced, which is less expensive than buying a whole new system!

My ps3 just stopped working, it turns on but the disc drive does not work and a greasy substance comes out on the disc when ejected

well it sounds like ur ps3 could use a good cleaning... first u should go to wal mart or best buy and buy ur self a blu ray disc cleaner and see if that helps, if that fails then u might have to take it to a prof place like trade n play and let them do a more in depth cleanin for u...

Hi where can i buy a new ps3 disc drive online. Regards Donal

You can always go on Ebay and buy a drive. Here is an auction I found doing a quick search on Ebay:

My ps3 disc player doesnt read any cd,

I am afraid your laser lens has gone, you can buy a replacement laser or drive but keep the old drives logic board which is needed by the PS3 motherboard.

Hope this helps.

No disc drive

This is a very common problem.

It probably needs a new laser because the old one is "burnt out". It's a really common problem with them.

You could replace the laser or the entire Bluray drive.


You can buy these online at may online stores or eBay.

Ps3 wont read discs

Just return your system or exchange it. I have same problem 2 times. First with 40G system only 2 weeks old. Exchanged that one with 80g system. This time it last 3 weeks. Now returned and got my refund back. Will not buy PS3 again until they solve this disc drive issue.
