Sony Playstation PS3 BLU-RAY DRIVE only
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYBODY and THANK YOU for all those who have bought the drives and gave us generous feedbacks and for all those who have been patient with us solving the problems when they had one ! WE HAVE SOLD OVER 600 PS3 BLURAY DRIVES from Sept. 20 - Dec. 20 as evidenced by the history sold on different listings on this account
Description :
One (1) Sony Playstation Bluray Drive . It will work for the 20gb CECHB01 , 60gb CECHA01 , 80gb CECHE01 , 40gb CECHG01 BUT the bottom of your bluray drive should look like the one in the picture. There are some CECHE01 and CECHG01 that uses the new bluray drive casing with either single lens or double lens and this is not for them.... so make sure of what yours is before you order. We are not responsible if you order the wrong drive for your PS3
Beware of people claiming to be selling BRAND NEW 1st Gen PS3 bluray drives , laser lens or other major parts. I see boxes labeled NEW or Brand New in the market which are misleading people. All major parts of 1st gen PS3 are coming from disassembled PS3 or are repaired items.They have stopped producing these bluray drives, lenses and other major parts at the end of 2007. So your best security is get one with the longest warranty available. So there are no misunderstandings, I would like to emphasize that at times, you may get a bluray drive whose outside metal casing may have dents or scratches or its cosmetic looks are not appealing because of the way they have been disassembled , handled, stacked, packed and shipped but functionality and warranty remains the same. I am just telling you this because there might be some individuals who are particular of cosmetic looks and I dont want to have any misunderstanding with them.
The lenses on these drives have the 5 pin diodes which are very sensitive to ESD (Electro Static Discharge). Before touching the ribbon cables, hold on to any metal for at a least 5 seconds to discharge any static electricity in your body. If your PS3 do not read any or one of the kind of disks (DVD,BLURAY,PS3 or PS2 for backward compatible systems) and you see the swirling icon on the top right of the screen, then more often than not, this is your problem.Though every now and then , though rarely even if you still have that swirling icon, it can be also your bluray control card . Most of the time the laser assembly in the drive is the culprit of non reading disks. What I said is a guide and should not be taken as an absolute truth. Every system may have its own pecularities so don't blame us if you buy this item and it doesnt solve your problem. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make sure that this item is what you need before you buy it.
Personally , this technology where they used this 5 pin diodes on these lenses sucks. I guess that is why they did away with them a long time ago and replaced them with the double lens 3 pin diodes on the second gen PS3 and even the slim PS3.But we all don't have any choice since millions of 1st gen PS3s have been sold in the USA with this kind of lens and we all want them repaired. IN AS MUCH AS EVERY LENS WE SHIP ARE TESTED AGAIN ON THE DAY IT IS SHIPPED , if you get something that suddenly it doesnt work or didnt fixed the problem , don't get mad. It happens .. that is how this technology sucks...and any seller out there or even repair guys will tell you.. it happens. We all didnt want it to happen because we all waste time and money. If it happens, just return it , you will get a refund or a replacement. So if you are the person who are not willing to take risks in buying such item or want a perfect kind of transaction ....don't buy this item please .. I don't want having any misunderstanding with you less getting a negative feedback after trying our best to provide you a good item and service. We have sold thousands of these items to individuals and repair centers and based on experience , this technology really sucks. It's just that we have to repair our systems that is why we buy this part.

Shipping :
We ship items the next business day it had been paid. We have noticed lately that the USPS website at times do not provide real time tracking for some packages. After some investigation on our part , we were told that here in Roswell GA 30076 where we drop off the packages , they are not scanning them anymore when they are brought to this post office to speed up things that is why after the Electronic Notification Message you dont even see that it is already in this post office. Mail from Roswell GA hub has to go through the Atlanta Hub and from there towards the destination state. At times you dont see any real time tracking also from the Atlanta Hub due to the amount of packages passing that hub. So if you only see the Electronic Notification record for the next 2 or 3 days , dont be alarmed. Be alarmed if within 7 business days you still do not have your item. By then let us know so we can check and track it down for you. It may have been put aside in the Roswell GA 30076 hub and didn't move out from there.
Some packages we notice get a tracking update only on the USPS website once it has reached the vicinity of its destination and to prove delivery. All our packages have delivery confirmation so we know if it is delivered or not.We ourselves will do something if you dont get your item. But please be patient. We always try to ship right away. Just remember once we have handed over your item to the shipping company, it is beyond our control.
PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS ITEM IF YOU THINK OUR SHIPPING and HANDLING COSTS are HIGH. We dont want you be unsatisfied thereby leaving us a low rating on shipping and handling costs. It actually includes associated ebay / paypal fees . If you look at the total amount , item cost + shipping and handling cost. It is still one of the lowest if not the lowest in the market. Go check for yourself. For sellers to make it appear that the item is low cost , they put the other costs on the shipping and handling fees. So check and look at the total costs.
Note :
Again, if you don't agree to any term in this listing please don't buy this item. If you decide to buy it and received it and are satisfied , I will really appreciate a good feedback and a 5 star rating if you dont mind.If in any way you are not satisfied, before leaving any feedback let me know please . I will do whatever it takes to get things right and earn that good feedback from you. We will do whatever is fair for both parties.
IF YOUR OLD BLURAY DRIVE ACCEPTS AND EJECTS DISKS PROPERLY , SHIP IT TO US. IT WILL COST YOU ONLY $ 4.80 PARCEL MAIL and we will refund you $15 . Make that extra cash, instead of throwing it away...
