Details

The PS4 Slim and many PS4 Pro consoles use the same KES-496A laser in their drives. As it ages, it loses strength, and the console starts showing disc errors, loading slowly or refusing to recognise discs.

This listing sells the KES-496A laser lens for PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro consoles. According to the listing, it fixes disc reading failures, recognition errors and slow loading.

Signs the laser is failing

  • Discs aren't recognised.

  • Reading errors or slow loading.

  • Some discs work while others don't.

  • The laser was damaged in a drop.

Installation notes

Try cleaning the lens first with a cotton swab and a little isopropyl alcohol, using light pressure. Many reading faults are simply dust on the lens. If that doesn't help, check the label on your laser, because some later PS4 Pro drives use the KES-860A instead. Then unplug the console, remove the drive, open its casing and swap the laser, keeping your fingers off the lens.

Reconnect all cables fully, reassemble the console and test several discs. Smooth reading and loading confirm the fix.
