PS3 laser and deck information

There are currently three types of lasers that can be found inside PS3 consoles; 

KES-400A - in consoles released before 10/2007. 
KES-410A - in consoles released after 10/2007 (not slim consoles).
KES-450A - in all the slim model consoles only.

The below table should be used as a guide only to help with laser/ deck identification and we are not responsible for wrong model orders, please check the model number on the rear of your console (CECH***) and check against the guide below.  The model number on the laser and laser deck should always be confirmed visually if possible as additional postage is charged for exchange of another model.  The KES-400A has a single eye laser lens, the KES-410A and KES-450A have double eye laser lenses, (see our item pictures).

 *The KES-410A laser is inside all 10/2007 consoles except some CECHG03 models, which can have either a KES-400A or KES-410A inside.  It is always best to have visual confirmation of the model number, however if you are unable to do so, use the following procedure; Insert a disc into your console, if the disc does not turn while going into your console, it has a KES-400A laser inside.  If the disc turns while going into the console, it has a KES-410A.
