LA6508 Clones

**Labomba** · 03-12-2004,05:05 PM

As mentioned by Gamefreax they seem to have samples of la6508 cloned chips.
I hope these fellows work out perfect so prices can be reduced !!!

thats a ba5815 on a piece of pcb
i've been talking to a guy in NewZealand who says this works for v9s with dead lasers but if u have a v9 with a tray that wont open this wont fix the problem
at least thats what i have been told

Correct because use only the saide of fucus - tracking from BA ---> LA.

Anyone knows how to build it and where to connect it, I have more than 10 machines to test it

Best Regards

well, I'll test tomorrow with a ba5815 and post results

Best Regards

You will all waste your money... When you solder the LA or a clone LA it will burn a in few minutes max because the problem still exists, the coils are shorted(about 1,5Ohms). You must change the lazer also. Yesterday I got a new LA, put it on with a big heat sinker and it worked for one minute max and then overheated and burned. And the new lazer is the same lazer of the v9/10 and it will last about the same time as the previous, it's a crapy lazer.

With this method NEED the resistors to adjust the coils value

**nonen666** · 03-13-2004,10:07 AM

Putting resistors will not fix the coils, eventualy they will die. They've done in the spanish forum and with resistors it stops reading most dvd after sometime and at the same time the coils are getting worse. Neither adjusting the cd,dvd pots ,it doesn't fix anything.

Putting resistors might help to give the laser just a little more life until the coils lose all their resistance, while potecting the LA chip from blowing. You still need to replace the laser sooner or later.

These new clones look very interesting, because it seems the LA is just a pack of op-amps(therefore easily replaced with off-the-shelf components).

Playstations have had crappy lasers ever since I can remember. Remember the old PSX's?
