โ๏ธ What You Get โ Full Drive Deck Assembly
This is not just the laser head โ it is the complete KEM-497AAA drive deck unit. That means the laser lens, the sled mechanism, the flex ribbon, and the drive frame all come as one tested assembly.
๐ฟ Laser Lens (KEM-497AAA)
The optical reader that writes the disc data. The primary failure point in disc read error faults.
๐ง Sled Mechanism
The rail and motor assembly that moves the laser across the disc surface. Replacing the full deck fixes sled jams and skipping at the same time.
๐๏ธ Flex Ribbon Included
Full deck comes with the flex ribbon cable. No hunting for extra parts โ the assembly connects directly to the PS5 drive board.
๐ Multi-Format Support
Reads PS5, PS4, Blu-ray, and DVD discs โ full disc format coverage restored after replacement.
๐ Compatibility Guide
Check your PS5 model number on the sticker on the back of the console. It starts with CFI-.

โ Frequently Asked Questions
What does the KEM-497AAA actually fix on a PS5?+
The KEM-497AAA is the laser lens and drive deck assembly inside the PS5 Disc Edition. When it fails, you get "Unrecognised Disc" errors, very slow or stuttering disc loading, and sometimes grinding or clicking sounds from inside the drive bay. Replacing the full deck fixes the laser, the sled movement, and the mechanical parts all at once. It restores the PS5's ability to read PS5, PS4, Blu-ray, and DVD discs correctly.
Is this a full drive deck or just the laser head?+
This is the full drive deck assembly โ not just the bare laser head. It includes the KEM-497AAA laser lens, the sled mechanism (the rail and motor that moves the laser across the disc), the flex ribbon cable, and the drive frame. A full deck replacement is more reliable than swapping just the laser because sled wear and laser wear often happen together. You install one assembly and the job is done.
How do I know if my PS5 is Disc Edition or Digital Edition?+
The Disc Edition has a physical disc slot on the left side of the console. The Digital Edition has a flat, uniform surface with no disc slot. Check the sticker on the back โ Disc Edition models start with CFI-1000A, CFI-1000B, CFI-1100A, CFI-1100B, CFI-1200A, or CFI-1200B. If your model starts with CFI-2000, you have the Slim โ this part does not fit the Slim. If you are unsure, call JPC Mobile on 0480 039 913 before ordering.
Can I clean the PS5 laser instead of replacing it?+
Cleaning can fix a dusty lens โ try it first if the console is very dusty. Use a lens cleaning disc (not a cotton swab on a PS5 laser โ this damages the coating). However, if the laser diode is simply worn out after years of use, cleaning will not restore it. A worn laser produces weak or uneven output and cannot read disc data accurately regardless of how clean it is. If cleaning does not fix the error, replacement is the only reliable solution.
Is PS5 drive deck replacement a DIY repair?+
PS5 disassembly is more involved than most console repairs. You need a Y0 Tri-wing screwdriver, a Phillips head, and plastic pry tools. The drive deck connector is delicate โ forcing it can damage the drive board. If you have experience with console disassembly and are comfortable with ZIF (zero insertion force) ribbon connectors, a full deck swap is manageable. If not, bring it to JPC Mobile at Shop 3A, 152 Woogaroo St, Forest Lake QLD 4078 for professional fitting. Call 0480 039 913 to book.
Will this fix my PS5 if it won't eject discs?+
Disc ejection is controlled by the drive's eject motor and gear mechanism โ which is part of the drive deck assembly. If your PS5 won't eject a disc mechanically, a full drive deck replacement fixes this. If the PS5 is ejecting discs on its own randomly, this can be a software or sensor fault. Call JPC Mobile on 0480 039 913 to describe the fault โ we can advise whether a drive deck is the right fix before you buy.
What discs will the KEM-497AAA read after replacement?+
After replacement, the PS5 Disc Edition reads PS5 game discs, PS4 game discs, standard Blu-ray movies (including 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray), and DVD movies. This is full multi-format disc support โ exactly what shipped in the original console.
Can repair shops buy this in bulk?+
Yes. PS5 disc read errors and drive deck faults are one of the most common PS5 repair jobs. JPC Mobile supplies repair shops across Australia. Call 0480 039 913 or visit Shop 3A, 152 Woogaroo St, Forest Lake QLD 4078 to discuss trade pricing and stock levels. MonโFri 9amโ5pm | Sat 10amโ5pm.
What warranty does the KEM-497AAA carry?+
This part comes with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. If the drive deck fails under normal use within 12 months, contact JPC Mobile on 0480 039 913 or visit Shop 3A, 152 Woogaroo St, Forest Lake QLD 4078 to arrange a claim. The warranty does not cover damage caused during incorrect installation, physical damage, or liquid exposure. Correct fitment and handling are essential for the warranty to apply.
How fast does JPC Mobile ship PS5 parts across Australia?+
