From what I understand you have to reprogram some chip inside, maybe an eeprom or something, to make the 400c laser work. Pretty much not possible on most versions, although I saw some people saying they were able to do it with a few special version 5 ps2's.
I wouldn't try it anymore, you will probably just end up ruining something more than just the fuse.
Up till now I have never ruined anything on the board with changing a HD7 with 400c except that the new laser (400c) did not work. Unfortunatelly there has not been a real proof of swapping these two lasers, except in V5, with a few limitations (settings in bios do not work anymore, etc) So with V9 and V10, I do not think that works. HD7 is hard to find (here at least), and as seems they burn out faster and easier than Sony lasers, so when you have such a board, it's hard to suggest anything except trying to get a new HD7 and using it.

there was changing eeproms but in v9 v10 the eepom is integraded into the cd/dvd chip
okay damn! well its the whole drive thats from a V9 not just the laser.
but its only the laser that it cant work with right?
because i dont have a drive from a v10
Yes the problem is the laser only. The drive is the same.
