How come the laser life is so short ? i hardly play it ?
This question gets asked every single time a customer advise us when they require a laser replacement , there is no accurate answer , what we can relate it too , is the trusty old light bulbs.
Light bulbs promises us thousands of hour , but every light bulb is used in different circumstances. Some might be switch on and off many times a day , some may experience power surge or maybe a faulty connector. Some light bulbs will be dimmer over long periods of use , because the element which eminates light is reduce in quality. Now relate this back to the PS3 KES410ACA laser , the laser after period of time of usage , will cause the lense to be burnt out or blurry , when the laser is not at its 100% power rate , reading media could be difficulty.
