[QUOTE="WadeCardilini, post: 2769849, member: 922276"] I bought a Ps3 from ebay, Said to be in fully working order. I received it and SSurprise Suprise, the Blue-Ray drive is F*cked. Instead of returning it I decided to just use down loadable games (Since I got it fairly cheap) But now I wish to use disk games for several reasons. According to the item description, the PS3 I purchased is a: CECH-CO2 (40gb(Which has since been upgraded to 500gb :D)) After a little bit of research I found that I needed to buy a KEM 400A drive to replace it with (Swapping over the Logic-board and such) I received the item a short while later to discover the drives looked completely different. The original was completely encased in metal (which I had a fun time trying to open, and ended up destroying the metal completely) and the drive having a metal casing only on top. The Cables and such on the insides of the drives to connect tot he logic board were also completely different. I contacted the seller asking if the item i purchased was correct, or if I made a mistake, Sure enough they told me that the drive i bought was supposed to work with my system type, and that it sounds like the drive i need is a "KEM 410A" They offered to refund the item in exchange for postage ETC. But it will be cheaper to just re-sell the item (so I'm going to do that) After searching on Ebay for the selected drive, I happened upon a KEM 410A that looks the same as my original drive. Before I make the purchase though, I need to know that I am buying the right thing. Does anybody have any experience or knowledge in this regard? I don't want to waste my money on another non working item just because I bought the wrong thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated! - The baconator [/QUOTE]
