PS2 Laser Replacement and Repair Guide - Playstation 2 Model 50001

[@SpongeyBubby]

Are the KHS-400C lasers reliable in a 50001 model?

[@KingTuftsIII]

thanks bro it works like new but i dont have any blue discs so i couldn't test that.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Is the laser is the reason why my load ups are kinda slow?

[@Jukebox_Gaming]

First check if the laser is smudged or dirty. Worst case you’ll need to adjust the potentiometers.

I'm getting my slim fixed soon just got the ribbon cable and now waiting for the laser itself

Can i use something else other than a solder to remove the bubble?

[@ibroughtaturbo-chargerfrom667]

Do I need the Blue disc?

[@Jukebox_Gaming]

Blue discs are CD based games and PS1. Most PS2 games are silver DVDs so technically no. If you replace the laser, blue should work regardless though.
