Can anyone identify a make and model for this pickup and/or player or burner

The only markings on the PCB are "BD/HDP" and rev.

Awe, geez I feel like a putz It is a PS3 Blu-Ray pickup - assuming
that is the one I sent you ? I seem to recall in my, "hooray, he
fixed my Argon" euphoria some question from you - and I don't think
(obviously, now ) that I answered you. Sorry, Sam ! Let me know
if you need pinout info, current, etc !

It's not the same as the one you sent. The one you sent IS a PS2
pickup like the one at the top of this page:

http://repairfaq.cis.upenn.edu/Misc/...e1/optics.html

The unknown pickup is the one further down the page.

It may indeed be compatible or a replacement, but it's not the usual
one that I'm familiar with.

Thanks!

Oh boy...just adding up those putz points, aren't I ? :-) Okay - I'll
hazard a guess at it - could it be a Blu-Ray burner sled ? Where did
it come from - as in...what bargain price was paid for it (if you
know ?) I see loads of PHR-803T sleds (HD 2X player and X-Box older
type HD drive replacement sleds) available out there, but I have one
in front of me right now, and that pic is definitely NOT that
type...and it is not a PS3 type, like I sent you - so the field is
narrowing down quite nicely :-) Do you have any way to take a few
more pics of it from differing angles ? Wish I could be more help,
other than to ask more questions

It's quite possibly a burner - that is how it was supposedly originally
advertised on eBay. Then the seller backtracked and said it wsa from
a player. I have no idea, this is third hand info. I could take more
pics from other angles, but the top really should be distinctive. I
don't know what's missing from the bottom but assume there's a boatload
of circuitry that isn't there.

I have another dual-lens BD/HD pickup that I haven't photographed.
But it's distinctly different.
