Optical drive ribbons

[Wolf85]

So I have a ps4 cuh1115a that won't accept a disc. I belive there are 2 ribbon cables from the daughter board that have some bent pens. Problem is, I can't find any replacements for the eject motor of the lens assembly. I did find some sets on ebay for the 1215a/b model but I don't know if that would fit my drive or not. Anyone know where I can get the exact model ribbons or if the 1215a/b ribbons are the same?

after opening up my 1215 and seeing some teardowns, it seems the optical drives are a revision and wouldn't be compatible with previous revisions. for ex., there's no daughter board anymore

the ribbons do seem the same tho, but I wouldn't trust them to be 100% exactly the same

The ribbon cables can be a pain to deal with, especially when they have bent pins. From what I know, the CUH-1115A model and the CUH-1215A/B models do have some differences, so the ribbon cables might not be interchangeable. The safest bet would be to look for replacement parts specifically for the CUH-1115A model to avoid any compatibility issues.You might have some luck searching for specific part numbers on sites like AliExpress, eBay, or even local repair shops that deal with console repairs. If you can’t find the exact match, reaching out to sellers on eBay with your specific model info might help—they sometimes have parts that aren’t listed yet.In a pinch, you could try gently straightening the bent pins with a small tool, but be super careful if you go that route. Those pins are delicate, and too much force could make things worse.
