PVR-802W PS2 Laser Replacement Lens - TECTINTER Compatible with PS2 Slim Console Repair Part Replacement,70000 Series/90000 Series/77000Series/79000Series,NOT for 75000Series

It took me two tries to get this lens working properly. The first one wouldn’t slide—just made a grinding noise. The second did the same until I reseated it several times. Honestly, I’m not sure if the issue was with the lens or something on my end. These aren’t complicated parts, and the slider ridge is the OEM one from my original lens. Could’ve been a power or alignment issue, but I was never able to get the original lens to do the same grinding, despite swapping it back on a dozen times. You would think if it was me, id mess up the original and the replacement, but i didn't.The solder ball came off easily—I held the lens upside down and let the solder melt and flow down the iron. Once installed, the replacement lens loads games at normal speed, and so far it’s been stable. I don’t plan on using the PS2 heavily, but I’m hopeful this lens will hold up over time.Worked perfectly with my PS2 Slim, and now I’m back to playing my original GTA games. The seller’s support was solid too. Great buy if you’re ready to be a little patient with installation. Don't be too worried if you don't solder, it was only a couple seconds of pressure on the ball and it liquefied instantly and came off.

I was very worried when I purchased this item. I never swapped out a laser on a PS2 before but honestly, It was fairly simple as long as you follow a DIY video. I will warn you, you do need a solder gun to remove a small antistatic piece. It was very nerve racking doing this as I have very minimal experience with a solder. At the end of the day, I got it installed and it's been working great ever since!

Fast ship & worked perfectly! I was worried after reading some reviews but I made sure to double check the model of my PS2 with the description of the product. I am very happy to finally be able to play Star Ocean again!!

Zero stars. It didn’t work and the return window is now closed. $$ in the trash.

I am feeling quite emotional right now. When my PS2 Slim stopped reading discs, I was worried it was beyond repair. However, after installing a new laser, not only does it read games again, but it also resolved another issue where the system incorrectly detected that the disc tray was open.Highly recommended!

When looking up replacement lasers for 75000 series PS2s, PVR-802W was listed as compatible. Sure enough (despite the warning in the item description) it works great! I checked the potentiometers before installation and they were good as is. No adjustments were necessary. Although that may not be true for all of them, it was for mine. Now I’m able to play all the games in my library again! :)

Despite what the description says, you still need to desolder the solder blob on one end or it will not work. No big deal if you have a soldering iron. Installation was easy after following a YouTube video how to do it. That's my reasoning for 4 stars...5 stars if no desoldering was required and just .plug and play.

I play 3 Jak & Daxter games on my ancient PS2, (model 70012, I'm guessing it's the 12th of the 7000 series?) that's all I play. Anyway, the laser went out and I bought this because replacement was cheap enough to at least try to see if it would fix the problem of erroring out and saying I'd removed the disc when I hadn't, then cuts cenes dropped, then black screen. I'm a 72 year old lady with no experience with electronic repairs at all! YouTube definitely helped even though none of them I watched had EXACTLY my PS2 slim model. When they say the screws are tiny they mean it! I ended up using the little philips head screw driver that came from an eyeglass repair kit I bought at the Dollar store for a buck. All I had was the silicone spray my garage door repairman gave me - sprayed onto a Qtip - to grease up the screw rod. That wasn't very good so make sure you have an actual 'grease' on hand and not a spray. The second time I opened the case I had real lithium grease that, on a Qtip, I spread on the screw rod. Maybe it didn't need it but if you have the case open might as well clean and grease as best you can. If your PS2 is not playing you have nothing to lose by purchasing this replacement laser. I AM SO HAPPY I DID. Now I can continue to play my favorite (and only) games. This laser replacement was fantastic and I'm so pleased with it. **EDIT** After replacing the laser I noticed an unusual sound as I played. I took the disc out and it had circular marks on it. After checking on YouTube again I found out that the orange band (that holds all the wires) that I removed when installing the laser lens was too high and was rubbing on the disc as it turned. A YouTube guy used double sided tape, blah, blah, blah but all I did was press it down to put a slight crease in the band until it stayed low. Works great now.
