I will keep this post up to date with all possible PS3 lenses, you are welcome to send me any new/better pictures. As say a lot of time before. Open up your PS3 before ordering any of these optical lenses online. There is no guarantee that your model with have one of the other model. This post should help you identify which lens to order.

Side by side, here are the PS3 lenses that are currently available for your PS3. If you ever decide to change the lens yourself, my best advice is to always open your PS3 first before ordering any new lens as there is no way to determine which model use which lens.

Attention: PS3 40gb may use a different lens: LENS KES-410A or KES-410ACA (but some ps3 40gb has been found with the other lens KES-400AAA)

And about Hotlinking/bandwidth stealing. While looking at back link in Google, a thing very important to look at (Google page rank, who say what about me), I came about 2 forums entries

• http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26627261&union_id=17061 and
• http://gamersinc.in/forum/archive/index.php?t-28.html

Come on, don't do that, this is plain bandwidth stealing! you reduced my number of visitors! why not just having a link to the ORIGINAL article? My domain name belong to me till 2015, so It wont disappear tomorrow.

What is Bandwidth Stealing ?

There are many forms of bandwidth stealing on the web today. However, the bandwidth theft on here is image/graphic stealing, and is the bandwidth theft that occurs most. That is when you find an image you like and you are:

1. are too cheap to have server space of your own to use -and/or-
2. are too lazy to upload the image to your own server -and/or-
3. are uneducated about the crime you are committing -or all of the above-

Crime? Yes, it is a crime. The person whose site the image is on that you are linking to for the source of the image is paying the server costs, the bandwidth and loosing ad revenues.

I did implement a solution in .htaccess to avoid that, but has seen a dramatic drop in number of visitors, as Google images, live search images are also referencing some files on my server directly. I did switch this off now. I just hope people will get educated enough to understand the problem they create when they simply hotlinks content.

                  SONY if bought your PS3 less than a year ago.
Attention: While this operation require no particular knowledge, don't try it if you
                  have no patience and feel not confident enough!
Attention: Look at other tutorials at the end of my article before starting, I did not represent
                  all steps in details. Use them to complete missing steps (this is my brother's PS3, mine
                  may die also soon, will complete tutorial then)

DISCLAIMER: This tutorial is for information purposes, and I am not responsible or can
be held responsible if you screw up your PS3 by following this tutorial. Make sure the
PS3 is unplugged from mains power AT ALL TIMES. Mains power is dangerous!
Dismantle the Playstation 3 console and follow this tutorial at your own risk!

Duration: 25 minutes
Cost: 35 euro (SONY ask 200 euro, some shops 99 euro with 3 months warranty) 

Tool required:

	Torx screwdriver TR10 :
	Small flathead screw driver + Philips screwdriver

	details of power supply near the front right side of drive.
