  • Jesus Fucking Christ I can't see fucking thing on this video !!

  • Comment removed

  • video was good enough for me, though i havew experience messing with electronic devices, a full video walkthrough would have been better, as dfor the HDD argument, sony recommends the stock rpm HDD for a replacement because the faster the HDD spins, the more heat generated. and since the HDD is internal, that heat will dissipate into the system, and if it wasn't designed to handle that much heat, then it could cause much greater wear and tear on the internals.

  • @Xoeclyus what i do have is a seagate 2tb external that i use to backup what i'm not using or going to be using so as to save space on the system itself. if i were to replace the internal HDD with a bigger & faster one, my first move would be to buy a proven effective cooling device to supplement the standard cooling system to help with the extra load. but that's just me, i don't like spending 300 bucks every year or so replacing a system so i tend to lean on the careful side.

  • The Prices of HDD for the PS3 is sky high on Ifixit.com. I bought a 500gb Segate XT Hybrid SSD Drive 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache and 3gbps transfer rate for 119.99 and they are selling a basic Seagate 7200rpm 16mb cache for 149.99. LMFAO High Way robbery. 

    Anything is better then the stock 5400rpm 8mb cache HDD that sony supplies so don't get fooled and buy from these guys the prices are RAP !!!

  • Whats the name of the House Track in the video?

  • CAN YOU GUYS DO A PS3 SLIM YLOD FIX VIDEO, BECUZ , CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, BUT ISNT IT DIFFERENT FROMT HE YLOD VIDEO FOR THE PS3 PHAT YOU GUYS HAVE UP ALREADY? thankx and great vids. ps: CAPS LOCK FOR LIFE!!

  • @rockbutt123 pss, caps are for douchey 12 year olds. it "yells" that you're ignorant, i understand the need to be different, but you just look like a fool. not trolling, that's just the way it is.

  • @Xoeclyus pss, Not everyone views the world like you , do you understand little boy?

  • @Xoeclyus FUCK YOU ASSHOLE ! WHY DON'T YOU KILL YOURSELF INSTEAD OF CRYING ABOUT CAPS..........

  • Very useful. Thanks for posting.

  • thumbs up if you had a hard time removing the power supply...no srsly people i can't remove it i don't have the right screwdriver i think :(

  • too...many...moving...transiti­ons

  • i did something stupid yesterday. i took out the powercable from my ps3 while it was turned on, not on purpose. i was trying to find the cable for my tv so i could shutdown and reboot it. i am a little afraid and worried of that my ps3 is damaged. can any answer me a question. does it take damage, if you take out the powercable, i only did it once, and will never do it again. unless all is turned off

  • @VixMusicProduction No damage should be done. If you were ever playing Ps3 and the power went out while playing it is just like taking the cord out. happened to me and everything works without a problem. No damage should be dont

  • @VixMusicProduction There's nothing wrong with that, It won't damage anything trust me. The light goes out here all the time in my community while i'm playing and its still working like a charm. However, it could mess up your installed games on the hard drive though as that happened to me once and i had to re-install it.

  • when ever i see

    Sony Computer Entertainment inc TAG

    it takes me back to my child hood :)

    my first console was ps 1 in sony.

    very first was atari n commodore 64

    but enjoyed ps1 alot

  • what have u done to ur video,

    make it simple WE DONT CARE about graphics and slide show animations ,

    we are here coz of ur video TAG

  • how are you going to put it back together

  • Can anyone tell me how to disconnect the slim part with the power button from the board....I can't tell what they are doing with the ribbon and where it connects. Also is there a trick to the power supply coming apart? I found 1 screw that I took out but can't seem to get the two black plastic halves apart! Thanks!

  • Dislike because the video is just a gallery of pictures.

  • This video is actually helpful BUT if it's your first time opening a ps3 slim.. i would not recommend a picture tutorial lol.

    I am so used to opening the PS3 slim because of many YLOD's ever since i downloaded patch 3.61 my ps3 started getting overheated/YLODed and other malfunctions that this video is still good reference for opening up the ps3 slim.

  • This is a SHITTY video!

    Why show PICTURES of a tear down, instead of an ACTUAL motion video?!

  • fuck you ifixit i dident no i can remove the blu ray drive whitout touching the fan now my fan and blu ray drive is fucked up now my game whent from being dirty to clean then not reading any disks to nearly everytime i try to put a cd or any disk it says ejecting and it almost over heats after five minsof use fuck you everyone don't look at this video look for one whit pepole realy takeing it apart unstead of pictures becuse you'll fuck up your game and not even no it

  • @000TQ000 Yeah, go ahead and do that!! Do provide us with a little demo of the features that microsoft has been keeping from us! lol

  • @sickler4201 no I havnt had any problems with mine it will get pretty warm but it's nothing to worry about. Before you take apart your ps3 I'd recommend discharging yourself of any static electricity

  • I just love this video!!! Let me #RANDSET(return the favor|give back|return the offer|share too|share something as well)

  • sony s3

  • Anyone know if the slims are YLODing yet? Just bought a slim to replace my 80 gig fatty that YLODed after 4 years of use. Definately breaking my slim open to clean it on the day the warranty expires!

  • my heart breaks when you open it ;p

  • dude i dont want to brake my ps3 i am not crazy

  • it sucks that i need a special screwdriver for disassembly such things like this

  • Fuck Sony for using security torx screws and forcing me to stop mid way and order the bit required.

  • @Classick shoulda just broke of center pin with small screwdriver. 360 controllers have the same screws.

  • PS3 looks more sexier inside than those 360 dissemble videos I've seen. Size of that fan is a must have for great cooling.

  • @ShieldLessLink

    it's a turbo fan,actually

  • i like xbox 360 and ps3 the same, any system with online gameplay is a great system to me :)

  • thanks for the vid, i only want to verify if my Canadian bought ps3 slim 320 gig is in fact dual voltage so I can use it in Europe where i'm moving to. many forums state that even though the sticker on outside of the unit states 120 in fact if you open it up it will say 120-240 making it universal voltage. i don't want to open it up and void the warranty, can anyone confirm if all ps3 slims including brand new models currently on the market are dual voltage? thx for any help

  • Very nice video :)

  • can you fit a blu ray drive from a slim on a fat model?

  • i own an xbox 360 and ps3 and i think they are both equally good in their own ways, and for the record my xbox has never overheated in 2 years.

  • thats porn for bender

  • @SchwuleScheisser

    fats corno poor tender

  • thtas porn for bender

  • step 3 should be step 1

  • @coled7lan Blah, details :D Just go for it man! Electroshock doesn't hurt at all

  • that is one tasty looking ENCHILADA!!! :D

  • if you feel the top part of the back of your ps3 slim, it is very hot sometimes because its only the power supply, if they make the power supply external the ps3 would make no heat.

  • Comment removed

  • SH*T NOW MICRISOFT KNOWS OUR HIGHTEC HARDWARE!!!!!

  • @KrabbendeKUTKAT

    Microsoft would have bought a PS3 slim themselves and tear it apart when PS3 first launched

  • @KrabbendeKUTKAT not to start a war but my ps3 just got YLOD'd and I'm angry at sony!! :@

    I think Xbox is not better all I know is consoles are shit...

  • @DarrenMalla and you're replying on  a 7 month old comment?

  • @KrabbendeKUTKAT What are they're going to do, Steal Blu-Ray Finally?

  • @KrabbendeKUTKAT dam u micrisoft

  • @KrabbendeKUTKAT Shit! I hope they don't tell MICROSOFT!

  • @KrabbendeKUTKAT Yeh because hardware that is 5 years old to totally high tech .

  • @element271 I'm a Pc Gamer now :P

  • Look at it's sexy muscles

  • I dissamble it today and cleaned it also, everything ok, but somehow while i was comiling it 2 screw left, and i check everything, and i didnt see where they belong. Strange.

  • FAN IS HUGE!

  • i think tht the ps3 slim is wack now

  • You might want to let people know that they'll need tamper proof torx bits, as well. Something smaller than the T15.

  • ps3 runs so hot im worried i dont understan why they didnt make it where it will run cooler they could make it where air will enter n exit the unit faster so it will be cooler but the holes or vents are so small no air sirculates i think they made it to die within a certain time but thats just me

  • @g121306 I've had my PS3 for nearly 2 years, has never overheated before..

  • i need to know how to take apart the power supply

  • Cool! JK!

    I put my PS3s inner works into a box and took out the psp go inner works.

    Hooked it up and now my PS3 can play on the psp go screen!

    What you did is not as cool as what I did!

  • look at the engineering on that ps3... so beautiful

  • The edit is AMAZING !!

    I hope you made this. If you didin't, please give credits.

  • so little thermal paste, hope slims don't get ylod 2 years later, down the road. my ps3 died, just got a new slim, so im worried

  • @floeticdeath Oh shit man same here. Had the 40gb and it fried on me. Been planning on getting slim this weekend. 

  • @Lamb00FGoD Have fun with it, I feel safer on it, but yeah slims the way to go, but be cautious, I use to be on my fat all day and all night lol. I play this no longer than 6 hours at a time, with breaks in between.

    what games do you have? maybe we can game online together?:O

    

  • @floeticdeath Yeah send me your PSN in a message,or somthing. I sold all the stuff after the YLOD so not sure what games I will buy at the moment. Don't sweat another YLOD. My friend bought his PS3 40 gb used and treats it horribly and it runs fine. I took care of mine,dusted it, never moved it and I get the YLOD lol he laughs at me about it all the time.

  • no fat ps3, fuck this, lol'z flag me, :P

  • @KingKehra yeah, the original xbox 360 is probably the worst designed console of the decade, but the new one is much better. They managed to combine the cpu + gpu onto one die, under one heat spreader, with one symmetrical heatsink, and one large, efficient fan, much better airflow in general, built in 802.11n wireless, quieter disc drive, HDD with decent capacity, ability to use optical audio + HDMI without adapter, more USB ports, etc, etc

  • @psychoclown420 Yeah I agree the newer 360 is much better built, which is why I will buy that model and use it more since, I would hope, it would have less change of overheating during play.

  • @KingKehra

    no matter what sony is the worst My ps 3 got YLOD again and again wtf i am disappointed

  • @kropotkin888 dude, maybe ur not being careful with it. im still on my 1st ps3 slim, that i got jan 2010, and its on more often then im awake,lol.like i turn it on in the morning on weekends and keep it on till i go to sleep 3-4am the next morning. cant take a risk like that with the xbox tho

  • @enishi4ty5

    my ps3 is not slim model, it was fat 40gb

  • @KingKehra they also placed a copper frame box around it and that makes it getting overheated so easily causing that stupid rrod.

  • @KingKehra i couldn't agree more, but still i think the ps3 lacks vents, meh the slim doesnt overheats but the little tiny vents are pretty warm

  • seems there is not any info on the CECH2101a/b i just took mine apart and yes it is also dual voltage so all PS3 SLIMS ARE DUAL VOLTAGE!!!!!!!!

  • seems there is not any info on the CECH2101a/b i just took mine apart and yes it is also dual voltage so all PS3 SLIMS ARE DUAL VOLTAGE!!!!!!!!

  • WTF why did u do that =(

  • what is the music?

  • i must not discuss i ve got both xbox360 and ps3 xDD

  • i really hate people that come in here to watch ps3 stuff and then start saying stuff like xbox dosnt suck yes it does shitbox 360

  • @flexer122 xbox 360 dosen't suck the PS3 is just better.

  • @MegaMegajim well you have your opinion and i have mine but ur right i ocassionaly play with my bros xbox 360 ^_^

  • @flexer122 fan boy #2.

  • @RevaqOfTheLight i dont get it fan boy number 2 weres number 1

  • nice job.

  • The top doesn't come off that easily for me =.=

  • i just removed some cards my daughters put in ps3 thanks.Have 1 screw left over but all works well.

  • All I Wanna Know Is How To Open the Top Case.

    Cause My FRKIN Sister Jammed All My Games In My Ps3...

  • @ironwraith4 just follow the first step

  • i just wanna paint the top so now i can go to home depot and buy meh some paint

  • i have a 360, but want a blue ray player, and be able to play playstation 1 and 2 games also, will the slim do that?

  • @dairydave96 no only the first versions of the ps3 that first came out can play one n two games but the slim cant....

  • @dairydave96 no but you try to by the old ps3 that can play it

  • @dairydave96 nope, i tried but it won't read em

  • @dairydave96 Should play ps1 and they are also on psn but not ps2 games but alot of ps2 game are being remade for ps3.. just get used ps2 if you want that for ps2 games and ps3 is best blu ray player.

  • can you just do a video of you doing it instead of photos?

  • Anyone know what song is playing in the background? Or did whoever made the video also make the song?

  • No console has nicely made thermal paste application.

  • u suck

  • @iJustine52 nobody cares xbox kinect might be a fail when i saw poeple doin the demo but the new xbox 360 juz copied every thing from the ps3 fat but is less noisy than before and it looks cool too i want to own both PS3 Slim and New Xbox 360

  • ps3 is obviously better than the 360 but the media needs to learn that.

  • @tankman4001 LOL

    XD

  • Love the way you made the vid, very nice!

  • You cant say that now.. the new 360 is how it shouldve been from start but tech just wasnt there.

  • @blastb0y74 i did hate the old one but the new one look's awsome ;D

  • Thankx, people like you help us see what's inside the PS3 now we don't need to act stupid like you. :)

  • OH DAMN ! i opened up the blu-ray drive then a spring like go ' poin~' and now it is lost ... i now play game without the blu-ray drive upper cover ... yeah i fucked it up! T.T

  • Did you know......that if you put your xbox 360 in the microwave for 5 minutes, it makes the graphics of the games 5X BETTER!

  • @000TQ000 its just a way to get rid of the xsux 360

  • nice editing

  • .............................s­lick

  • what happens if you remove the warranty sticker ?

  • vid says 11 philips 3 of the screws are torx not phillips

  • Wow, i like urll vids :)

  • @ 2:38 you can see exactly how "well" SONY applied the thermal compound to the two chip sets, a word of advice to anyone that sees this video do yourself a favor and go get some ANTEC Silver 5 at Staples, Frys's or any computer hardware store and apply it to both chips with a nice even surface to save your PS3 from frying itself like mine. Now dont get me wrong i had an original 80gb when the first came out and that lasted me 4 years before this happened

  • Really good video editing (y)

  • dats wat my ps3 slim lks like inside...i aint gnna look 4 myself tho

  • im gonna have to do this when i get my slim because my fat ps3 got the yellow light of death thanks to the people who assemble them who do a shitty job of applying thermal paste to the bga's.

  • @xdeadwaterx lol you thinks thats bad dude my xbox has shitty thermal paste ever made when they are stock (most reason for RROD cuz of wicked heat) the ps3 have a better system for transferring heat Microsoft needs to fix that in the new xbox console if they made one i hope if they do its not the xbox 720 because thats stupid in my opinion maybe xbox 360v2 or xbox 360²

  • Yeah, This Is Awesome!

  • warranty void

  • yeah can u buy a fan that attaches to the ps3

    i

  • i got a problem today i play modern warfare 2. in the middle of the game it got frozen. and my ps3 shut down. then i try to get the disc out and it dindt get out so i turn it around and fall. when i insert it again it was like empty space never recive it just fall inside. Now every time i turn it on it ejects but never recive

  • @Gerardo203

    Press the eject button for a fhew seconds, this also called a fan test.

  • ps3 fat is so much more sexy

  • what the hell that fan is bigger than my PC fan...we have a problem here

  • i got a fatty ps3 320gb always after 10 mins from when i switch it on the fan comes on and its really loud 5 mins later it goes quiet

    any ideas????

  • @TheBrightjay Buy a big fan, put in on, the fan should face your PS3 air holes... then It won't heat up

  • NOTE: you do not hove to remove the hardrive, no point at all

  • hahahaha i love my ps3 slim xDDD

  • hey! my lil bro shoved a coin in where the disc goes in!! how do i get it out?!?!!?!? please reply soooooooooooooon

  • @TeHFooL123 the best thing to do is do some of the steps here and removing from the cover to the blu-ray reader once remove try to shake GENTLY until the coin comes out... (or just send it to Sony) lets talk live have AIM or Yahoo I can do it with you(no homo) every step of the way *I am not responsible for any damages that YOU has made or in other words you made a mistake so be carefull on half disassembling your PS3*

  • can someone please make an actual video not a slide show

  • i would never think it's that small inside and the Slim is smaller then xbox 360 and can do more like a Dream the PS3 slim

  • i like my ps3 even if she has some light scratches -.-

  • @kerranghighvoltage

    I almost never unplug my PS3. Only when it's on the verdge of overheating.

  • @kerranghighvoltage

    Neither did I. .-.

  • wouldve been better with a video and a voice over instead of pictures and music

  • congrats! you just completed the steps to completely void your warranty :)

  • both are the same dumbfucks!!!

  • lol, the ps3 is awesome 'n' all, but I think that putting tape to hold the wires down inside the case was just a little too cheap for sony. :\

  • wow inside is so much more organized then the other systems must be easy for a case mod/exchange

  • i would never d that to my ps3 or 360.they both rule!

  • i agree all this argument about which is better is just plain stupid there both AWESOME!!

  • @jdragon718 jep i think the fanboys are just jealous cuz they dont have one

  • i would never do this because for me its always easy to take aprt but im not the man to put something back together lol

  • why would you do that to a ps3?!

  • The PS3 is alot better built then the Xbox 360! i think thats the xbox's downfall! that and the fact they are still using duel layer dvds!

  • @MOBMakaveli

    And then comes in the fact that console games are rarely larger than 8.5GB in size..

    But then again, the motto of the xbox-360 was that it would be cheap to buy, but very expandable. If the PS3 would feature a DVD player instead of a BR player, the price would drop about 75 USD... (and about 150 USD when it was launched)

  • @MOBMakaveli Ya, it wasn't a big deal at first because most games only used about 7-8 gb of memory, but now we see how alot of games like Mass Effect 2, Halo 3: ODST, and Final Fantasy XIII all require multiple discs while PS3 does not. In the long run, Blu-ray has helped the PS3.

  • @RockSmithStudio I have to correct you there halo:3 odst game is on one disc the second disc is all the maps and the halo 3 multiplayer game. and I wouldn't say that blu-ray has helped ps3 as it's still in last place behind everything including the ds and psp. and I don't find it a problem to get up and change the disc during game and multiple disc 360 games have been there since the beginging but they are few and far between.

  • @MOBMakaveli the only reason why they are built better is because newer console if Microsoft were to build them better it would cost more and everybody would be pissed because of newer look (possiable) and hardware features.

  • @MOBMakaveli i defo agree with the build quality of the insides, but dual layer dvds are perfectly fine for the moment as games dont take up much space.

  • @MOBMakaveli

    True.

    The PS3 had a bad start, but now, the more advanced tech starts to pay off.

    Both in graphics and in the DVD issue, the ps3 has already surpassed the 360.

    And the Slim PS3 is just genius.

  • @MOBMakaveli fan boy.

  • No, i opened my 60GB ps3 and fix the YLOD, just watching youtube videos, dumbass the ones that pay 150 usd to sony.

  • is ps3 better or slim one plz reply thanx

  • not unless you can put it back... lolz "youre"

  • i don't think i will open my ps3 i just bougt it yesterday i think that will be very stupid if any of you will open your ps3

  • Most... Obnoxious.... use.... of video editing effects......EVER! The teardown is nice, but seriously. Very hard to watch.
