Just for fun we thought we would write up a few uses for your broken PS3 laser.
1) Light weight paper weight – Your PS3 laser paper weight will be the envy of your co workers.
2) Necklace Pendant – Forget the Gold cross, Spinners and all that other Gangsta bling. You want something exclusive like a PS3 laser hanging from your neck.
3) Key ring Pendant – You have already got every other key ring, so why not.
4) Mantle piece ornament – This will blow the carriage clock out of the water and be the pride of your mantle
5) Burning Blu Ray weapon of doom – See youtube for blu ray laser guns as your laser will probably emit laser light even though it does not read discs. Be careful though as all laser are dangerous even faulty ones.

Please use this chart as a guide, it’s not 100% accurate because Sony likes to changes things around and to keep us all on our toes.

The PS3 laser comes in a few different models, these a discussed below in greater detail
KES400AAA – This laser is the most common and was fitted in most PS3 consoles until the release of the new Slim PS3 Console. It’s often found in consoles that have 4 usb ports, chrome trims but can also be found in other models.
KEM400AAA – This laser is identical to the above laser and they are 100% compatible with each other, it’s unclear why the both lasers exists when they appear to be the same. It’s possible that the laser was made under license by another manufacturer.
KES-410A / KES-410ACA – These models of lasers have a different design from the previous models, the 410 lasers are found in later versions for the PS3 consoles and feature two separate laser lens. They were used for a short while before Sony return back to the 400 series for reasons known only to themselves.
PS3 Slim Laser (Model No. Here) – These lasers feature a twin lens setup as found on the KES410 / KEM410 lasers. These lasers are only used in the new slim PS3 consoles. Due to age of the new lasers its not yet known how reliable they will be.
Top tip!

The Playstation 3 games console uses a new kind of laser, it’s called a Blu Ray Laser. The PS3 Blu Ray laser allows for much more data to be stored on a disc the same size as a regular DVD but can the new Blu ray discs hold up to 100 Gb of data compared to the 9Gb of a dual layer DVD disc.
The PS3 Laser contained within the PS3 console supports a range of media including CD, DVD and Blu Ray discs.

The PS3 laser is an integral part of the Playstation 3 games console, the console was released in Japan on the 11th November 2006 and has now sold millions of units worldwide, these first consoles were released with a KES 400A PS3 Laser.
The console included a new technology, the PS3 Blu Ray Laser. This new Blu Ray laser technology allows for features that surpass the current DVD technology, the main reason for this is because Blu Ray disks can hold much more data than conventional DVD’s and this is because of the shorter wave length of the Blu Ray laser compared with Red type lasers.

Try using a PS3 Laser lens cleaning disc before you
dismantle your console and take your laser out.
