If you have a dead or non working BluRay drive here is a tutorial to help you replace your BluRay drives lens youself from another working BluRay drive or just purchasing the entire part needed (kem-400aaa). Please note that if you have warranty or a store receipt return/call Sony and they should be able to do it for free. But if your out of warranty or dont have any on your PS3 (for any devilsh reason), you can easily fix your PS3. (Sony charges about $150 to do it).
1. Open the top cover of the PS3
(See viewtopic.php?f=104&t=3792&p=21172#p21172),
So that just the top is off, not the entire thing.
2. Pull out the power plug for the BluRay drive.
3. Carefully pull up the BluRay drive and unclip the data cable ribbon from PS3 drive.
4. Remove the two silver screws on top right and bottom right according to the picture (screwdriver is pointing at them)
5. Unsrew the 3 black screws to the left as well
6. Remove the top metal sheilding of the BluRay drive, exposing the guts.
7. Remove the top frame now that we are inside to reveal the laser (unscrew the screws)
8.Once that is done you should be staring at the BluRay laser
9. Remove the BluRay lens screws (Circled Red)
10. More screws to remove (screwdriver pointing)
11. Carefully disconnect Cables (Circled Green)
12. There you go after removing all those screws the laser should easily come out, simply repeat the process for another working BluRay drive and extract its BluRay lens or just simply buy a replacement part (part # kem-400aaa) and insert it in the Bluray drive and start rescrewing
Hope this can help those unfortuante with a dead bluray drive and no warranty.
