PS4 Laser Lens with Frame CUH-10XX / KEM-490A

Fitting a bare laser means transferring it carefully onto the old frame, but if the sled, frame or motor are also worn, a laser that comes already mounted on its frame saves time. This listing covers that kind of assembly for early PS4 drives.

It's the KEM-490A laser with frame (the bare lens is the KES-490A), listed for PS4 CUH-10XX consoles. According to the listing, it includes the lens, metal frame, motorised sled and flex cable, weighs about 150 g, and fixes disc reading errors, no-disc detection and loading issues.

When the framed version is the better choice

• Disc reading failures with a worn sled or motor.

• 'No disc' errors.

• Slow loading or freezing during play.

• A damaged frame after a drop.

Fitting notes

Check the label on your existing drive to confirm it's a KEM-490A. Unplug the console, remove the drive and swap the assembly. Keep your fingers off the lens, and route the flex cable exactly as the old one was routed so it doesn't catch on the sled when it moves.

Reassemble and test several discs. Smooth reading and loading confirm the fix.
