I have an early version PS2 (NON-slim) and the laser's gone dead. It's a KHS -400B laser. I want to buy a new laser but I see that there is an "antistatic solder" which would have to be removed before use. Does anyone know how to remove this antistatic solder? Exactly how hard would it be to replace it? Could I use any other laser models other than 400B (for example, 400C or 400R)?
Note: I'm looking for personal experience answers, not links to dead-end guides! I've searched the internet already and haven't found anything too helpful.

How much soldering experience do you have? You will have to remove the existing solder and then solder the new laser in place. Be very careful not to overheat the leads.
I have never heard of antistatic solder. There is regular tin-lead solder and silver solder. Look at the specs for the lasers and see what is different from the 400B and C. I believe it is external size difference but not real sure.
