Guys please help me.. My CECH2006A 2+ yrs old ps3 cannot read ps3 games anymore . Anybody know where i can get Bluray laser parts / repair in Penang? i live in mainland...

This problem starts a few mnths back. sometime it cannot detect ps3 games. initially, i would switch on the ps3 for about 1 hour, eject and reinsert ps3 game disc, it can detect the game and can play fine. sometime i had to put the ps3 vertically for it to detect ps3 game disc. but now it cannot detect bd ps3 games at all no matter what i do. even soft reset. tested with CDs (mp3) and DVDs (movie) and they all works fine. unfortunately i dun have bluray movie to confirm. Googled around and i know there r 2 lasers in ps3 (1 for CD/DVD and 1 for BD). most likely my BD laser died alredy.

Anybody know where can i get this parts? the part model is KES-450A. Or any reputable shop on penang that i can trust and repair my ps3?

thanks...

i never play DVD/CD on my ps3... use only to test functionality... anyway, i read somewhere, many reported that Final Fantasy can cause laser to die. i did spend a lot of time on that game.

thanks for sharing. i don't remember exactly how i clean the lense but i use blower (used to clean dslr) and the lense pen and maybe alcohol with cotton bud. i use my ps3 drive for games only and i take very good care of my games, no scratches. clean fingerprints using cloth for camera lenses. i'm confident enuf it was not due to bad disc. maybe just unlucky
