The SF-HD7 that came with the F-chassis was the open-face model (doesn't have the plastic housing of the newer version). So perhaps you thought that it was a KHS-400C? Anyway, it's good to know that you've figured out what happened.
All the lasers I have ever seen live, have KHS-400C written on it. Maybe one of the "technitians" who opened it before me, tryed to change it with no results and sent the console back to me with the different laser inside...

The optical blocks don't last forever, so it could have simply just failed due to wear and tear (according to the PS2 standards, anyway!).
Its just weird seeing an perfect optical block who read everything to a no reader in
2 minutes... I´ve read a lot on modchips burning lasers and coils, that I dont know if its something like that...

The MECHACON for the F-chassis is the BGA-mounted CXP103049.
Have you tried referring to the service manual for the GH-015?
Yes. Being searching for those schemes for months. Only found for the GH-010 and GH-012 boards. Nothing for the GH-015.
Searched moments ago, and google only leads me to the same service manuals for the SCPH-30000/50000. Nothing for the 30004R on those..

You can find PS2 service manuals via Google and probably on this forum as well. Look for test points named like those here:
where TEST means "enable test mode" by grounding this point (use a manual switch for this). TXD and RXD go to your Arduino. Also route one ground wire to the Arduino. Remember to use a 3.3V Arduino!
Do you have a scheme for GH-015 you can provide me?
I have to wire 3 wires to the arduino (TXD, RXD and GND), right? and ground the test mode with a switch to disable it to test in real game usage, right?
