PS3 SACD Rip, how to check you dont have a replacement drive in your compatable PS3

[PJ03029174]

Hi

Today i have purchased a 60GB PS3(CECHC003) and have taken it apart to have a look inside. I'm the 3rd owner and the second owner mentioned it had no warranty sticker. I can see someones been poking around in here and am abit worried they might have changed the Bluray drive. Does anyone know if there is a drive number i can look for, i think i saw it on a thread earlier but cant find it now. Secondly can you please tell me what i have to do to see the number, i have disconnected the data and power cable and so far can see the following numbers

 

160706B1C07013 on the PCB in the underside of the Bluray and the second number is D701001457, that looks like its the drive id.

If its not and i need to dismantle the drive further please let me know.

 

Unfortunatly i cant just test it because i dont have any SACD's and i wanted to check i had the right drive before i started ordering flashers as the PS3 is on 4.3.1

 

Cheers

If found the following information for my PS3

Initial FAT models: With BD400 drive, BMD-001 daughterboard capable for driving KEM-400AAA slide and KES-400A laser.

Does anybody know where the drive name is printed on the drive so I can check

cheers

I don't have the answers but this sounds to me like something you may want to ask in the forum at PS3SACD.com.
