How to Clean PS3 Super Slim - Teardown & Cleaning 

😂

Lol

Lmfao, btw using this video to clean my one xD

It came right on for me

hell yeah

Awesome

I had only one little problem (meaning my ps3 works, but...) When I connected the two front cables for the disk reader, the wider cable wouldn't get back in, I did push it so the reader works while the ps3 is horizontal, but as soon as I put it upside down the cable slips away and the reader doesn't work... Why did that happen?

Glad to hear that

I only used Torx TR8

Not that much

To be focused and patient, it will succeed

I don’t really understand what you mean by spinning up and down, however, it’s quite normal to move and if everything works fine, you shouldn’t be worried

@@YesterdaysTech My bad, what I mean is, is it normal for disk to spin while playing games on ps3?

@@RainGammayes? Lol

​@@RainGammado you mean while you are playing you will at random hear the spinning of the disk become much louder for a time?

You can try, sometimes Phillips Screwdrivers work even if they’re bigger in size. If your Torx doesn’t have a hole in the middle, I don’t think it will work as a Security Torx

Try to follow the video, that would be the easiest way

Avanes, were you able to figure it out?

If it stops reading discs, and especially if it's reading one type of disc but not another, it's the laser. No thermal paste will fix the laser, but if you're already opening it up, it's a good time for a clean and some new thermal paste. My PS3 fat started acting strangely with BD games and movies but played CD, PS1, PS2 and DVD just fine. Eventually anything BD stopped working completely. For that model you can choose to replace just the laser, the laser cartridge or the entire disc drive. I went for cartridge and it turned out fine. I don't know for superslim but if you're gonna replace something you might as well order something larger than the smallest component and have your broken one as backup.

Yes, it’s good to replace the thermal paste. In very high demanding games it’s normal to get a bit hot

@@YesterdaysTech how do I apply the thermal paste, is one drop enough and I apply it? at first I put a large amount on it and spread it and piled the ps3 and turned it on and the ps3 got hot

I replaced the thermal paste in this video, just do as I did and will work perfectly fine. In what game is getting hot?

@@YesterdaysTech uncharded 3 and when i turn on the ps3 the fan starts spinning hard as soon as it turns on and without the disc inside but it hasn't turned off so it's hot from the back otherwise

It shouldn’t break

@@YesterdaysTech Ok, thanks, cuz someone in my house thought it might, so I’ll give this a try if mine ever overheats again

It will work but I recommend to not skip this step and apply some. Any thermal paste would be better than none

@@YesterdaysTech Thsnk you i will try and find some

Yes

Try with some strong pliers, it should work, but I recommend to not put it back at the end... just leave it without...

​@@YesterdaysTech you sure that pulling it out wont cause a problem or like the break the insides bcs the plastic it is made of seems cheap ive realized that my ps4 had become literal junk in just 4 years and i had cleaned but my 10+ yr old ps3 has never been opened

Most of the times it's not needed to disassembly the PSU, usually, using a vacuum cleaner it's enough

I recommend to get the right tools, otherwise you may damage the screws

@@YesterdaysTech ok thank you! btw can you send a link of your torx screw if possible?

I have mine since years ago and I don’t find this one in particular, but any tools shop should have them. For being future proof, also for more teardown, make sure it’s included Torx T8, T9 and T10 with a hole in the middle. They’re sometimes known as Torx TR8, TR9 and TR10.

@@YesterdaysTech ok thanks

What’s the series of your PS3 Super Slim? You made me curious

You missed something when you assembled it

I don't think Multiman has anything to do with the cleaning, maybe reinstalling it may help

@@YesterdaysTech yay thx it helped a lot thx :D Just removed and reinstalled the hard drive and it is all working well :D You saved my ps3 and my life :D

Get some thermal paste before starting

I don't think so

Were both PS3 consoles the same series?

Yes! I figured it out. Thank you!!

Is coming 😂

@@YesterdaysTech you only have ps4 pro and ps4 slim)
