Hello!
In this tutorial i have already done everything and was just giving you the images with the casing on (Not srewed in thats why my plugs are plugged in)
Thing you will need:
Small Flat Head Screw Driver (For the Hex Screws or use a Hex Screw driver or w/e they are called the star screws :p)
Medium/Small Philips head Screw Driver (For Philip head screws you can use the Flat Head Screw Driver if it fits)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unscrew the Cover Screw (Red)

Do or Do Not, There is No Try
We already got a few guides already mate. I even have videos of all 3 model PS3's (40 and 80GB, and the slim) in my guide. Good job though with the layout. I really like it

Nice thread but why would you want to play with the cover off? That just gives people a REALLY huge chance to "accidentally" spill stuff in it.

I am assuming his attempt at this guide was to show how to begin the disassembly process of a PS3.

Well, then why did he put, "(You can plug the plug in and turn it on now)" in step 4? You'll just severely injure yourself taking apart a PS3 while its on.

Not true at all. I have the entire top off when I repair blu-ray lasers. I even keep the top off until I know the laser mech has been successfully repaired/replaced and has passed the tests. Only after I test it out do I put the top cover on. Same with PSU, fans, etc.

I do. I have a video of a slim disassembly in my repair/upgrade guide (the link is in my signature). Enjoy!
