Blu-Ray DVD Optical Drive Laser with Empty Shell Metal Module Replacement Compatible with Sony PlayStation 5 PS5 KEM-497AAA (fit CFI- 1015A 1000)

When i got it for my model ps5 that was properly checked and order the drive operated but the disc reader did NOT. Shows a disc reading error everytime

Drive casing was a bit scuffed up but absolutely 100% functional. I swapped out the board and casing with my drive and put my PS5 back together. Works perfectly! Amazing fix for a next day shipped product.

Review is for LeHang Blu-Ray DVD Optical Drive Laser with Empty Shell Metal Module Replacement... Had our PS5 drive stop working and reading discs, so looked for a replacement drive. Here is how to replace it and get it working again: 1. Do research on how to open the PS5 and get access to the drive. Not hard at all. Keep track of the different size screws to reverse what you did to put it back together correctly. 2. Make sure you buy the correct drive for your PS5 model. We have the original PS5, so not sure what changed between models. 3. You will need to remove the old drive, and take out the daughter board that the drive is connected to, so you will need to open up the metal shell and remove the board. 4. Open up the new drive, and take out the daughter board that comes with it. It won't work if you just replace the drive with a new drive. The daughter board is tied to the internal motherboard to protect Sony's encryption/security scheme. 5. replace the new daughter board with your old one, and close up the metal clam shell 6. mount the new drive into the PS5 and close it all up, making sure to connect all the data/power cable and ribbon cables correctly. 7. Enjoy your new blu-ray drive and a working PS5 once again. 8. Your bank account will love the fact that you didn't send it in to Sony for fixing. I think others may be having trouble thinking this is just plug and play. It won't work if you don't swap out the daughter board. Take your time and do it right for best results. I dropped one star only because there are no instructions. Use mine instead.

Porduct was damaged. If you are looking to replace some parts of yor disc drive this might work for you since laser was in good condition, but don't expect much either as the one i bought came all beat up and damaged.... you could tell it was returned or taken from an old console. would not buy it again

It does not read anything it’s just a waste of time I set it up and it can’t even read my pa5 discs wrist thing I’ve ever bought and this is a real review I don’t support Amazon scamming

Works, swapped into my PS5. Definitely a used part, probably salvaged from broken PS5s. So just know this isn’t a brand new part, but if your disc drive is broken, grab one of these and you’ll be good to go. One of the screw housings was broken on this unit I ordered, so I swapped out the frame of this disc drive with my original one and it’s all good. As another review mentioned make sure you swap the small daughter (mother) board from your PS5s disc drive with this one. Your original disc drive daughter board needs to stay with the PS5s motherboard.

Worked well. My Launch PS5 is fully functional again. Pretty easy job. No complaints.

Product came kinda scuffed up, so i believe it must be used. You need to take the parts that sync with your motherboard from the old drive and use them instead of what came with the drive. One of the connectors was not the same, so I had to cut the wires and use my old connector to make a connection. Going strong for a few weeks now.
