Blu ray drive without a logic board.

I am trying to repair a PS3 slim, Model: CECH-2501A.

The drive does not appear to have a logic board on it. But rather a ribbon cable on the drives motor board that extends out to the motherboard of the ps3. I have seen pictures of other slim blu ray drives and they all have a board underneath the metal cover, like so:

The model number for the laser is KEM-450 DAA

The ps3 will not read any blu ray media. When a disk is loaded I hear it spin up, a few clicking noises, then an eject sounding noise, and then nothing happens. The disc has no problem ejecting.

ooooo. Duh... The drive board is built into the motherboard, or it is underneath the metal shield in the bottom of the case. So I should be able to just replace the drive/laser part.

Yes, just replace the laser only. Very common issue with the slim PS 3 Lens. Take the old lens out, check the model of the lens.

They used 2 different ones on your model.

450 AAA or 450 DAA.

Make sure and order the exact same one.
