I have a 40gb CECHG02. I just opened up and found a single laser (400a). Could I buy a 410aca laser alone and seat it on my 400a enclosure, or do I need to buy the whole 400a enclosure and laser? (I'd rather buy the 410aca because it's much cheaper).

It's a laser problem because games do work but fail most of the time. Games only work 1/10 times now. PSN and games off HDD work fine.

Yea, you can buy the laser alone. I think its actually called kes-400a. I did that and it worked great. I had the same problem when games froze or could not be read and psn games worked fine though.

Like I said, buy the kes 400a. That's the stand alone laser. Its very easy to replace as there are tons of guides online on taking the blu ray drive apart.

Yes, the stand alone laser is the KES-400A, the KES-400AAA is the KES-400A with a deck. You need to use the correct model for your PS3.
