PS3 Super Slim - Full Disassembly & Service

Here, I unwittingly explore the weird construction that is the PS3 Super Slim.
From the hard-to-remove PSU, to the large heatsink/frame, this model has a good few design quirks that left me more confused than before picking up my screwdrivers.
Tools used -
Phillips screwdriver
Torx Security (T8) screwdriver
Prying tool (a guitar pick can be used as well)
Microfibre cloth
Brake cleaner (I recommend 100% isopropyl alcohol)
Tissues or something to remove thermal compound
Thermal compound (I used some Cooler Master stuff)
Disclaimer - This is not a definitive guide to disassembling a PS3. Please search for other sources to get a full understanding of this feat. I am not held responsible with any damage and/or injury caused if you wish to follow this video and other sources.

@RUSerious97 8 месяцев назад

The blue ribbons is what was the issue for me. That and the occasional dust infestation xp. I guess every time I slide my disc tray shut (I broke the automatic release a long time ago) the tiny blue ribbon on the back slides out? And when I disassemble it I unknowingly unlatch the big blue ribbon too, which may cause the clicking sounds but no disc reading. So, thanks for this video.

I’m 90% sure my PS3 super slim only came with a black WiFi cable and no white one. It didn’t show signs of being opened...is this possible. It has games downloaded on it. It would let me sign in,but wouldn’t let me authenticate the games in the PlayStation store. It said it couldn’t bring them up or something. I ordered new cables. Idk.

@shorty808100 2 года назад

No thermal pads on the VRAMs? Odd, guess I’ll just re-paste with MX-4 was gonna use K5 Pro but there are no thermal pads to replace, I would spread on a cpu that big make sure you get the whole chip

@luminasdiary 2 года назад

Ahhh I'm never doing that again! It worked, but damn it was a massive pain in the butt. Getting the front plastic panel back on is a nightmare, I just have to accept that mine isn't going to be snapped in fully. Also the ps3 was very clean inside considering it's been running for nearly 10 years. The thermal paste was nearly all gone though. I hope I can get a few more years out of it. By then PS3 emulation should have advanced further. Great video though!

@mouh719 Год назад

Brother, can you give us the name of the paste that is suitable for me, the PlayStation Super Slim

I used Arctic mx-4 which is think is quite a popular brand and it's working well on the PS3 superslim. But tbh dude, paste is paste. Whatever you use will be fine as long as it's not super cheap.

Hello can you help me apply the front cover the right way?When i try to apply it the back of the clips are fine but the front klips have a gap from the front side

@TheBuddingEngineer 4 года назад

This might be a bit hard to explain, but the left side of the front cover is latched across (like the rear cover), while the other side just clips directly in because of a tab for one of the Torx screws. So you need to slightly bend the cover and latch in the left side, then push down the rest. Admittedly, I've had a bit of trouble as well, but forgot to put it in the video. Hope this helps.

@SIBERIANDEATH 3 года назад

Did you spread evenly the thermal compound or you just left it as you applied it?

@ShadowvailYT 2 года назад

I know this is a late comment, but when you apply thermal paste you don't want to spread it everywhere because it will automatically do that when you tighten down the heatsink over the cpu. If you spread it everywhere, you risk it squeezing out everywhere.

@TheBuddingEngineer 4 года назад

It's a big thing at the rear of the unit. There are two silver screws that hold it in place, so after removing them, you need to pry it upwards as shown in 4:55 Removing the power supply allows you to get into the PS3's motherboard, or to replace the PSU itself

@@TheBuddingEngineerplease tell me how you unscrewed everything with ease. It's taking me days to unscrew everything. My thumb and the palm of my hand are in pain. Is there a specific screw driver you used?

@TheBuddingEngineer Год назад

@@XenoTronusWeePoo850There could be a few reasons I'd check if it's the right size - if the bit doesn't fit perfectly into the screw, you'll have to press harder than usual and risk rounding it off In the case that's happening, I'd get a small screwdriver set that'll cover most cases, and preferrably with a curved, grippy handle You use the wide part of these handles to get the torque to unscrew, something you can't do with screwdrivers that have narrow, metal knurled handles. I found them to be miserable Just remember to not over-tighten screws when putting things back together - I use the narrow part of the curved handle instead and screw wrist-tight
