PVR-802W PS2 Laser Replacement Lens - TECTINTER Compatible with PS2 Slim Console Repair Part Replacement,70000 Series/90000 Series/77000Series/79000Series,NOT for 75000Series

Was really easy and straightforward to replace, restored my ps2 back to glory.

It took me two tries to get this lens working properly. The first one wouldn’t slide—just made a grinding noise. The second did the same until I reseated it several times. Honestly, I’m not sure if the issue was with the lens or something on my end. These aren’t complicated parts, and the slider ridge is the OEM one from my original lens. Could’ve been a power or alignment issue, but I was never able to get the original lens to do the same grinding, despite swapping it back on a dozen times. You would think if it was me, id mess up the original and the replacement, but i didn't. The solder ball came off easily—I held the lens upside down and let the solder melt and flow down the iron. Once installed, the replacement lens loads games at normal speed, and so far it’s been stable. I don’t plan on using the PS2 heavily, but I’m hopeful this lens will hold up over time. Worked perfectly with my PS2 Slim, and now I’m back to playing my original GTA games. The seller’s support was solid too. Great buy if you’re ready to be a little patient with installation. Don't be too worried if you don't solder, it was only a couple seconds of pressure on the ball and it liquefied instantly and came off.

This worked amazing on my scph 77001 ps2 slim! Make sure to un solder the anti static blob lol but definitely a great buy to get your slim going again:)

I play 3 Jak & Daxter games on my ancient PS2, (model 70012, I'm guessing it's the 12th of the 7000 series?) that's all I play. Anyway, the laser went out and I bought this because replacement was cheap enough to at least try to see if it would fix the problem of erroring out and saying I'd removed the disc when I hadn't, then cuts cenes dropped, then black screen. I'm a 72 year old lady with no experience with electronic repairs at all! YouTube definitely helped even though none of them I watched had EXACTLY my PS2 slim model. When they say the screws are tiny they mean it! I ended up using the little philips head screw driver that came from an eyeglass repair kit I bought at the Dollar store for a buck. All I had was the silicone spray my garage door repairman gave me - sprayed onto a Qtip - to grease up the screw rod. That wasn't very good so make sure you have an actual 'grease' on hand and not a spray. The second time I opened the case I had real lithium grease that, on a Qtip, I spread on the screw rod. Maybe it didn't need it but if you have the case open might as well clean and grease as best you can. If your PS2 is not playing you have nothing to lose by purchasing this replacement laser. I AM SO HAPPY I DID. Now I can continue to play my favorite (and only) games. This laser replacement was fantastic and I'm so pleased with it. **EDIT** After replacing the laser I noticed an unusual sound as I played. I took the disc out and it had circular marks on it. After checking on YouTube again I found out that the orange band (that holds all the wires) that I removed when installing the laser lens was too high and was rubbing on the disc as it turned. A YouTube guy used double sided tape, blah, blah, blah but all I did was press it down to put a slight crease in the band until it stayed low. Works great now.

The DVD laser diode stopped working after only about a year of normal use (the CD laser is still fine). It was not abused or heavily run, but it simply failed and no longer reads DVDs. Based on this experience, the component quality seems poor. I recommend looking for a higher-quality replacement part, and that's what I shall be doing.

A few weeks back I bought a PS2 slim (75001 but this product can work on multiple slim models) from half-priced books to replace my old "Fat" model. When I got home to test it out I found that the laser unit could only read PS1 Discs. I tried all the usual steps; air dusting, a careful cleaning with isopropyl alcohol but alas, no dice. So, not wanting the thing to go to waste, I picked up this replacement. The installation process was very simple and straightforward, the guide I found on YouTube got me through the process in under 10 minutes. The best part about this particular laser unit is that the anti-static point that you may have read about needing to desolder has already been removed, so if you don't have a soldering iron there is no issue. I would, however, recommend using a set of Phillips eyeglass screwdrivers as the screws you are dealing with will be very, VERY small. After closing the console up, I plugged everything in, and tried out my test games (Syphon filter for PS1, Ace Combat 4 for PS2), each were read in under 5 seconds. The unit has been going strong ever since. Overall, this is a great unit to buy if you are having issues with disc read errors. The PS2 is a great piece of hardware with a stellar library, but many units are getting on in years and will start to have problems after awhile. That is why I'm so pleased to see an easy fix to one of the most common hardware issues on the system. This product will keep my console running for years to come.

Great replacement, bought a PS2 from someone and it worked besides the laser lens so had get this part. A four as an optimistic review as it's always a coin toss for third-party parts integrity

This laser works great in my PS2 as a replacement for my old dying laser. It doesn't come with instructions so I had to go back on Amazon to reference the picture of where I was supposed to remove the solder. I also assumed the plastic bag it comes in would be taped or sealed shut. Nope. I took the laser out of its tiny box, turned it over to look at it and the laser slid right out of the plastic and fell on my floor.

As stated above. Installed correctly, was definetly the right part for the job, still failed after a week anyways.

Works great, reads disks fast! time will tell the quality.

Very happy with the product. Used for a 75001 PS2. Followed a YouTube video and it worked perfectly. Note: it has a really small black plastic piece on a hinge at the ribbon cable connector to secure it. Took me a bit to figure that out. And you have to desolder the bead. Also on YouTube. I know nothing about electronics and was able to do it.

Besides having to desolder with makeshift device, works well and easy to install.

The desoldering was very difficult. The soldering blob didn't seem to get off. When it finally came out, the supposedly three metal parts were a mess. As a result, the lens don't work at all
