Best place to source PS3 parts?

banie01

Hiya folks,
Just wondering if anyone could offer any advice on which etailer(Or Irish based would be even better) for PS3 parts?
Specifically a complete KES/KEM 410 drive(I have the original drives PCB) and a ribbon cable?
The drive on my newly unbricked waninkoko brick CechC03 just died after making a series of horrible grinding noises!

Any opinions on places people have used previously will be much appreciated
Thanks folks.

I have a drive that I pulled from a 60gig console that I destroyed doing chip lifts attempting to establish a BGA reflow profile.
I dont know much about ps3 myself but its on my adverts profile if its any use to you

Dont know much about the drives history but the guy I bought the ps3 from said he had the laser in the drive replaced 2 months before the console got ylod.
So it should be a fairly good drive

Thanks Jim, but your ad implies its the Single Laser?
Is that right?

No problem mate, thanks a million for checking!
It would have been sweet to have had a local pick up too as I see your location is Limerick too! haha

I managed to get a new Ribbon cable on Fleabay
And my brother has a dead CECH-C that happened to have the drive I needed
Happy days! LOL
