So I've got a 40GB with the KES-400A. The video included details my problems.

Earlier someone said that when the PS3 boots, the lens will emit a light. Mine does not seem to do this.

Also, as shown in the video, the KES-400A will move along the spindle like it should. If the magnet enclosed in that white disc is not present while the system boots, the black circle that holds the disc spins very fast. So I know the console can spin discs.

But I also remember someone said that the PS3 will begin to spin a disc after the lens emits a light and has that light return to it by reflection. If this is true, then I believe my problem is that my KES-400A does not function; it will not emit any light and therefore, the drive will not spin any discs.

I need some opinions. Do you think the problem is the KES-400A alone, or something else? A lot of people seem to have this problem.

Thank you kindly
