UHN-010 Complete Disc Drive for Sony PS5 CFI-1016A | KEM-497AAA (Pulled)
Artikel number VAR8481
This complete UHN-010 disc drive is designed as a replacement for the first generation Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition.
The UHN-010 drive is used in PS5 consoles from the CFI-10xx series. For European consoles, this includes the CFI-1016A model. This drive generation is associated with the KEM-497 / KEM-497AAA laser assembly.
This is an original part removed from a console (Pulled). The item includes the complete drive mechanism rather than only the individual laser pickup or laser sled.
A complete replacement drive can be useful when the fault is not limited to the laser itself, but also affects components such as the disc loading mechanism, spindle mechanism, gears, sensors or other mechanical parts.
⚠️ Important: The PS5 optical drive electronics are paired with the console. When replacing the complete drive, the original paired electronics from your console must be retained/transferred as required. A donor drive with electronics from another console cannot simply be installed as a fully interchangeable complete unit.

????️ Typical Fault Symptoms
Replacing the complete drive may be useful for faults such as:
• PS5 no longer recognises inserted discs
• Games or Blu-ray discs cannot be read
• Disc does not spin correctly
• Drive repeatedly attempts to read the disc
• Disc is not pulled into the drive
• Disc cannot be ejected
• Damaged disc loading mechanism
• Damaged gears or mechanical components
• Unusual mechanical noises from the drive
• Defective laser assembly
• Defective spindle motor or drive mechanism
• Mechanically damaged original drive
Not every disc-reading problem is necessarily caused by the drive mechanism itself. Faults may also be related to the drive electronics, cables or other console components.
???? UHN-010 / KEM-497AAA Drive Generation
The UHN-010 belongs to the first optical drive generation used in the PlayStation 5 and is associated with CFI-10xx Disc Edition consoles.
For the European CFI-1016A, the UHN-010 drive is commonly used together with the KEM-497 / KEM-497AAA laser mechanism.
Later PS5 hardware revisions use different drive versions. For this reason, a replacement drive should not be selected solely by its external appearance.
⚠️ Drive Electronics Are Paired to the Console
Special attention must be paid to the original drive electronics when replacing a PlayStation 5 optical drive.
The electronics from a donor UHN-010 drive are not simply interchangeable with the electronics originally paired to another console.
When replacing the mechanical drive assembly, the original paired electronics from your own console must therefore be retained/transferred as required.
In simplified terms:
Defective original drive → retain original paired electronics → install with replacement drive
This allows the mechanical drive assembly to be replaced while retaining the electronics associated with the console.

⚠️ Please Note

Before purchasing, please check that your console uses the corresponding UHN-010 drive from the CFI-10xx generation. This drive is particularly associated with the European PS5 CFI-1016A Disc Edition.
The PlayStation 5 optical drive electronics are paired with the individual console. When replacing the drive, the original electronics belonging to your console must therefore be retained/transferred as required.
As this is an original pulled part, minor cosmetic signs of previous installation, removal or use may be present.
