    • Dale la vuelta a tu PS3 y colócala con la parte trasera hacia arriba.

    • Con cuidado, quita la pegatina de la garantía, así podrás acceder al tornillo que se encuentra escondido debajo de ella.

    • Para evitar que la pegatina cree un vacío, calienta la pegatina y quítala con cuidado para poder reemplazarla limpiamente.

    Don’t even need to bother with the sticker anymore since SONY does not care what you do with them anymore.

    Manuel -

    Remove the four 13.3 mm T8 security Torx screws beneath the Blu-ray drive opening.

    Daniel Tlapa -

    Can we edit this to say 4 screws?

    revanantwraith -

    I made the change from three to four screws, but you're able to edit the guides as well. If you want to edit something, you can click the Edit link on the right side of any guide step, or the Edit link at the top right of the page (sandwiched in-between View and History).

    Taylor Arnicar -

    Do you guys have a guide for the PS3 Slim Model 3001A. The fan is different than this model.

    emknight04 -

    3001a is basically same motherboard but cheaper plastic bd drive other than that its exactly the same until you get to the new slim line

    Robert -

    Anyone know an online retailer with a competitive price for the replacement fan?

    Jared -

    My PS3 had only three Torx screws. Having four in the diagram was initially confusing. Obviously they made a mid-stream change at some point (mine is several years old now).

    corygbooker -

    I've accidentally removed the ribbon cable from the blu-Ray drive and can not seem to figure out how to reconnect it. Can anyone help?

    OneIfByLand -

    Take the top off the drive, connect the ribbon to the motherboard then replace the drive sliding the ribbon through the slot on the bottom of the drive and reconnect to the laser.

    KcXbox Repair -

    pls help i have to tear down my ps3 slim but the 4 srews are very hard to take it out because there is a needle in the middle pls hep

    Vincent Brabandt -

    If the screw has a pin in the center, that means it is a security Torx meant to prevent tampering. To remove this screw, follow the guide I have linked below...

    How do u buy the screw driver for these screws

    mistergalacta hoggy -

    Online at the usual suspects?

    Or some hobby stores or places that sell tools will sometimes carry these.

    revanantwraith -

    Anyone else's screws for this step need the T7 bit instead of T8?

    Question: if a screw doesn't come out, what do you recommend, without potentially damaging the system, inside and out?

    kramiz2488 -

    It seems these can be quite tight, but they did come loose with someextra force in my case. They did that thing where it makes cracking sounds, but nothing really breaks. They're just really tight in there. - I just wouldn't recommend taking these out too often.

    Michael Hendriks -

    The screwdrivers on the guide didn't work mine just don't come out any tips model is slim CECH 2001A

    Step 8

    Jose Arrieta -

    These screws work as a ground pass through between the motherboard shields and the power supply. My cousin took his PS3 to a repair shop to replace the power supply, they didn’t put the screws back in after that and the PS was shutting down suddenly (no light green or red), put a couple of new screws and it’s being working fine since

    Mauricio González -

    Sometime ago i took apart my PS3 out of curiosity, When puting it back together, i messed it up, I stripped one of the PSU screws. Now, i can't take it apart for a paste replacement. Any ideas?

    Franco Iván Bello Rojas -

    The screws don't come out how do I fix this without breaking anything

    Suck dick -

    I had the same problem with very tight screws on PS3 power supply. I solved it by purchasing a Screw removal / extractor gripping pliers long nose style , with unique non-slip jaws for quickly extracting damaged / stuck screws. ENGINEER PZ-60 Neji-Saurus,Silver. ( bought mine on Amazon)

    These pliers have special grips on tapered end to hold and turn stripped or rusty screws. It took a lot of effort, but screws finally came out using these pliers. A bit of sewing machine oil and prising under the washers with a flat screwdrvers helps too. Failing that, take it to repair shop as they are VERY TIGHT screws on some models of PS3.

    • Quita la fuente de alimentación de la PS3, ten cuidado de que ningún cable se quede enganchado en el proceso.

    It seems it kind of ends for me here. I can only lift the left side about an inch and then the right side stays down like it’s stuck to something underneath. It feels like I’m bending something. Could something have melted underneath?… It's really stuck, I can't get it to come loose. And I can't see much shining a light into it either. - Any tips?…

    Michael Hendriks -

    Did you undo the screws?

    Phoenix Jameson -

    I had the same issue but was able to get it off. The right side (as per the above picture) has two long column like sections that actually goes into the machine. Took me a bit of wiggling and some brute force.

    Ivan Amaro -

    You just lift the whole power supply up. There’s no need to start from the left? Is it possible to bend the two metal posts if lifting from the left?

    Ken -

    Needs medium flat screw driver as wedge to help to lift the power supply in the right side or exert more force in your right arm provided the front of PS3 is at your front.

    Um, I translated the guide from French to English and the name of the guide was “Food” and the description said “This guide shows you how to replace your diet” The translation is incorrect just to let you know!

    Liam Kandell -

    Hi! Thanks for you attention! But no worries, the French word “alimentation” means power, food or diet depending the context.

    Claire Miesch -

    Alright, thanks!

    my cd drive has 3 cables, two by the fan, one right under, i believe i damaged the one on the bottom because it is very difficult to put back in hence the repair. But the photos here dont show the 3 cables, not sure if you have one for this model?

    Eduardo Cutino -

    I followed the steps and I successfully removed my disc drive the guide was helpful but I had issues and the ribbon cables on my replacement disc drive were too short after a soddering attempt failed I now need to rebut a disc drive can someone direct me to a proper replacement with the correct size I need it's a ps3 slim 120G please help

    Nick -

    I popped a friends apart to see if I could put in mine, which won't stay online for more than 1minute 10 seconds. Plays DVDs fine. Anyway, his had 3 cables and mine only has 1. How do I know which DVD player to order?

    ntdoc -

    Completely different drive in my slim. 3 ribbon cables on the back that pull straight up out of their connectors. And one wide ribbon hidden underneath and almost impossible to get to. After disconnecting the 3 visible cables lift the back of the drive about 3/4" and use a plastic spudger to release the clip on the cable before lifting off the drive. Reinstalling is a nightmare. The cable has a black line to indicate how far to insert into the connector. Get it in there somehow then use the spudger to push the clip down. If it's not level release it and try again and again and again until you get it right. Sony must use some awfully small fingers when they build these ;-)

    I had the same issue with the ribon feeding beneath the blu ray player. This video provided a much better solution. It requires dissassembling the blu ray: https://youtu.be/Upy2bTev3M0

    Rebel Seven -

    My disk drive needs to be replaced. Your step by step is straight forward and are very helpful. At the end you mentioned “If replacing the Blu-ray drive with a new drive, swap the circuit board from your old drive into the new drive”.

    Which circuit board? Can your please add a picture of the circuit board you are referring to?

    Henry -

    @hh168 There’s now a link in the text of that step, which will take you to a video with detailed instructions for swapping the board.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    First I replaced the drive and it would load a disc and see that it was either a game and which game or a BluRay or DVD and which, but I got error codes when trying to play them.

    The codes seemed to be tamper coding, and swapping the board seemed to be a good idea.

    It went smoothly, but now discs will not feed into the drive.

    Please help.

    You have to be very very careful on this step as the connector is very fragile. One wrong move and you can end up with a ripped off connector which wont be repairable.

    Jatinder Singh -

    I’ve broken the solder on the fan conn. Any help?

    Brian DiGiaimo -

    I think I can solder it

    Brian DiGiaimo -

    I have also ripped off the connector and only realized when I wanted to put together.

    Visegradi Istvan -

    ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIANS!

    It is not impossible to clean the removed connector from the panel parts and then glue the connector back on the panel. It depends how much connection is left on the board (you might able to clean a bit of green carefully to increase connection size) with a bit of experience you can solder it back/together again. The power and ground needs better connection since it needs to able to carry the current. The RPM signal has the least connection size on this side of the board but it needs only a bit of connection.

    Other possibility to bring from the board other side the 3 fan connection points with some tiny cables but that is more labour intensive and you might need to cut a bit from the metal panel to make space of the cables.

    Anyway it is a doable job for an experienced repair person.

    Instructions were great. Would recommend printing out on paper and scotch taping the screws for each step to the paper. There are a lot of different screws and they could easily be mistaken for each other.

    Please also include instructions for blu-ray with the ribbon cable underneath the drive. This was very difficult to reattach.

Hey good day to you. Can the thermal paste be applied with this tutorial?

Anthony -

This is a great guide, I followed it to the letter and my PS3 is now quiet as a mouse. I highly recommend you follow this, and please take your time. There’s no rush! :)

GunnZo -

Thanks, can you extend this list by showing how thermal paste is properly applied? That is the predominate reason for my users who need to get to step 31 in your list.

Thanks

Thanks for this guide

Hi, is the heatsink that makes contact with the cpu die aluminium? I think I might have repasted it with liquid metal… Thanks!

If you are referring to this, then yes, if not, then no. https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/...

Aluminum or Steel depending on the model it’s better to be safe plus it will eat at the enclosure.
