HOW TO OPEN ( TAKE APART ) & DISASSEMBLE YOUR PLAYSTATION 3 SLIM ( PS3 )

[MrWiLSo234]

Man the slim is completly diffrent from the Fat O.o

[xXM6000Xx1]

@SS Cosmic092

My suggestion would be to slap your niece

[Cosmic092]

@xXM6000Xx1 get a life im here to see how fix the problem

[TerraTechTV]

I've got a month of warranty left on my ps3, I'm going to open and clean her once it's out.

[BigBrillzini]

What Screw Driver Is That @ 0:59??

[hahreemcbroom]

How come it says TOSHIBA on the memory card

[1yop2yop3yop4]

@hahreemcbroom Fucking retard its not a memory card its a Hard Drive (Thumbs up if u like this comment)

[faithless8888]

@hahreemcbroom the hard disc drives on the ps3 models are built by several companies take for instance: Samsung, Toshiba, Western Digital, Seagate, Hitachi and so on. Sony does not build HDD's

[ehhhhhhhhhh]

They force you to pull off a sticker that says "VOID"??? What assholes. All I want to do is fully dust the inside of my PS3 so that it lasts longer...

[Cosmic092]

MY NIECE STUCK A PENNY WHERE THE GAME GOES NOW I CANT PUT IN ANY GAMES AND IDK WHAT TO DO THE PENNY IS STILL STUCK IN THIER

[The3string]

@Cosmic092 disasemble the ps3, and then take out the disk drive and disasemble that. and get the peny out, u may not evn hav 2 take apart the disk drive, if the front is open enough that you can make it fall out.

[mubasher12]

@Cosmic092 try to hold the eject button for a couple of minuite if that dont work try keep pressing it for 1/2 min if still not then follow the video and open up the casing for your cd drive and take it outt

[Cosmic092]

@mubasher12 but what will holding the eject button do??? how would holding the eject button help take out the penny? its been like this for about two days and i cant insert any games because it wont except the disc

[OxReally]

What do u use 4 the little black screws under power button

[ballerhollicdudess]

@OxReally i used a knife

[TJFITZ41]

my ears.

[TommyDDoom]

this is soooooo much better than dissasemblying an xbox because PS3 have screws... FUCK YOU MICROSOFT

[TommyDDoom]

i have an xbox 360... lol i still like this video

[MrDisbar]

You lose the garantie if you break the seal!

[BenSongVEVO]

dancing bear

[musiteufel]

Very nice 'how to'! This will help me a lot soldering the optical output. ;)

[mytac0sftw]

@pimpmyconsole Is PS3 SLIM have dual HDD/SSD's or was one of them the HDD/SSD and the other one the blu ray drive?

[McLif3]

Thx Bro :D

[500JonesDavy]

The video is cool, but the music is too retro, like cheap midi drum files. Something the communards, and bronski beat would've used in the 80's. lol. Thanks for the video folks. You might include what screw drivers to use for those with no brains like myself. lol. Keep em comin *****

[Delliistylle03]

u PRO

[shelikesjustthat]

Thankyou, your video does help, although now my case top is stuck even though the screws are all removed

[MrPressThat]

@shelikesjustthat I have the solution: there is another screw UNDER the warranty sticker.

[wtfnights]

where can u find the screw driver to take apart the mini screws?

[bubblious3]

I'm pretty sure this was one of the gayest videos I have came across...

[MrJudas666666]

i saw no balls, not sure what your talking about

[AznSoshido]

Fucking gay ass music

[psiddhant]

@AznSoshido i am gay :D

[MrJudas666666]

that is why god created the mute button. use it

[Venom0wnz]

If im looking to clean the lenses for the blu-ray cuz it wont read mw3 or bf3, do i need a special blu-ray droplets for it or can i use a regular lens cleaner?

[austypatrosty15]

i didnt know u liked to listen to workout music while u take apart your electronics.

[RyanRusty26]

Pimpmyconsole, I was wondering if the blu ray drive has any kind of eject button once you where able to pull it from the system. Mine has a blu ray stuck in it and Im wondering if its possible to pull it out. Let me know if ya can. Thank you.

[MrPressThat]

How come my top lid won't come off. Undid all screws but it still seems to be stuck. Fucking sony aids dogs. . .

[shelikesjustthat]

@MrPressThat Im having the same problem.

[MrPressThat]

@shelikesjustthat I have the solution: there is another screw UNDER the warranty sticker. So you need to remove that sticker.

[TexMex1Deep]

what did you use to take out the small black screws?

[MrPressThat]

@TexMex1Deep T8

[TexMex1Deep]

@MrPressThat thanx

[w3stcoastcr3w]

Never been inside a PS3 slim before tonight... had some issues getting the cover off in one piece..... used to laptops but know nothing about these.... anyways the video helped me immensely. Thanks for taking the time to upload a useful vid ;)

[ipath23]

went to home depot AND radioshack. both of their torx tools were too small. i opened the ps as much as i could and dusted inside. THIS WORKS.

[Teemu98765]

how fuck did u open really really small things....

[Will1313ful]

Thanks this video helped me a ton

[XxxSTEPS562]

on 1:00 wat size do i use and do skrew drivers have like the size on the side to take the tiny black screws out? nd pleaz answer both questions

[MikefMusic1]

what was the silver thing he pulled out?

[MikkoTV]

he really shouldn't use power tools for this

[SweatLaserXP]

the music is annoying

[ManxTIM]

If this person actually knew what they were doing then they would know not to use a power tool for any of the screws.

[SweatLaserXP]

@ManxTIM exactly. there aren't that many of them, why risk stripping the screws? It's not like you're working construction or something.

[TheOnePistol]

Thank you for talking us through it, I totally didnt get lost....

[AkatsukiMember01]

what kind of screwdriver is that, the one for the little black screws if you are trying to open it?

[dheer1231]

@AkatsukiMember01 I had a problem finding them too.I went to a Hydrolics hardware store and found them.They r known as "torex" screw bits in India.maybe this could help.

[AkatsukiMember01]

@dheer1231 Oke thnx but I have already find an other store.

[XxxSTEPS562]

@AkatsukiMember01 i no i kant open tht

[XxKYFERxX]

Why can't i stop dancing to this really shit noddy music?

[kaelj]

Don't understand why you Took the time to make this video without actually explaining what you are doing. Also your music choice is fucking whack!

[MrBillieTheKid]

Thats a hell of a fan!

[oihhow]

would this also void your warranty if you got it at Best Buy?

[MrBillieTheKid]

@oihhow Yes

[COMPUTEREXPECT]

you fuck your mother

[minions071]

guys I opened it up cause my friend said if I want to open do black ops challenge lobbies I have to put the file in my hard drive and I was wondering where would I put the USB in the harddrive

[SunnyProductiions]

@minions071 adict

[EvHzll]

@minions071 dont even get near your ps3 if you dont know what anything is.

[AndyTheSmartGuy]

@minions071 lmfao u cant put a usb in a harddrive..the usb port is in the front or on the back of the ps3 i am not sure



[robutubin]

also how did you manage to take the lid off so easily?? mine seems to have hinges in the front and I'm afraid of damaging it if I lift it any further...

[asendimchev1996]

@robutubin

dude did you sucseed ? Coz Im doing it right now and I have the same problem .

[asendimchev1996]

@robutubin

there are some little bolt under the buttons (switch off and disc ) you should take them off and that should do it .

[robutubin]

I am in the process of disessembling my ps3. what kind of screwdriver is used to open the very small screws at 1:02. the screw seems to have a piece of metal sticking out of the middle of where the screw driver goes......please help

[MisterTibTib]

the ps3 uses a laptop hardrive

[fhofho00]

@tratorta, and u must be a backwards, ignorant, dumb racist who bases his life on stereotypes. Idiot, you will be welcomed to the XXI Century when u decide to visit us here.

[DARKZERO216psn]

so if i play my ps3 slim with the top off will it stay more cooler since it's able to get more air or.....???

[jmabs509]

@DARKZERO216psn yes i would say so but dust and whatever is in your house will easly get into and could possibly harm it

[ClanOfWolfs]

i tried taking them offf and i ripped my fan cords FML!!!!!!

[CacklingCack]

I bought a torx t10 and the screws in the playstation 3 has a dot in the middle. So I need to find a tork with a small hole in the middle.

[asoberprep]

@CacklingCack Actually I got mine off with a staright head eyeglass screwdriver. 

[LiSzKaXx64]

i used a t10 and a 1\t8 but they are still to big :(

[RedayYahya]

its almost same like the Playstation 2 Fat

[TheOfficialSilenP]

noooo not the slim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nightwolf5151]

ok really music isnt necessary and plus like no instructions or anything stupid and the screws under the disc tray where can u get the tool to take those screws out

[TheBomberNDTheBeaner]

I can't magically open the top like you, it's kind of stuck.

[IAPaintball]

@TheBomberNDTheBeaner last screw is under the warranty sticker on the bottom. keep in mind it will obviously void your warranty

[crackerinternational]

man i fucked up the ps3 harddrive, so until i buy a new one (is the end of the month and i have no money) i decided to see if i could hook up some external drive i have arround, i disasembled everything until i got to those fucking screws that no screwdriver can unescrew. man, i think that ps3 is so fucked up, this is even worse than a pc, me being a mac user, im surprised that the ps3 crashes just like a pc, only thing thing missing here is the windows blue screen.

[LeroySHANKTON]

is this the same way as a 80 gig phatty?

[DaAsianWay]

fail

[101stiches]

my ps3 turns of by itself after 3 seconds do u know what might be wrong with it

[THE3DGBBFAN10]

@101stiches Power Supply 

[tenchidbz]

...thanks for the music. that really helps explain things... ass.

[jakeypoops11111]

Now put it back together :) haha

[f0rsak0n]

what the fuck. I did all that and my case was still stuck as if there was still one screw left in the ps3. This is pissing me off.

[PirateNamedJoyce]

@f0rsak0n same.

[f0rsak0n]

@PirateNamedJoyce Actually all I did was rip it off. Turns out that the case was really stuck onto something on the ps3. Don't worry your case will still be fine. But just rip it off. =\ I was getting annoyed and eventually I just ripped it not caring if it broke or not but lucky it didn't.

[asdfxyz1]

This music just makes me want to dance instead of taking apart my PS3.

[NoureS01]

nice thx

[TheWargod66]

Play saw theme and then open ur ps3 and take it apart.

That scary!!!!

[JrocDaBx]

thanks i used this to clean out my ps3...

[Blastbgnu]

you need the bits people? Jesus calm down. They are called SECURITY BITS, and the size you need is T8H.

Go to the local car parts store, they have it.

stupid fukkerz. Auto Zone, Advanced Auto, NAPA.

[cahokia33]

The king139703.....torx t8 proof...proof torx t8 r t10..depends on what ps3 version u have

[ANGL30FD3ATH72]

[killalangdon]

[type2red]

What a mess I'll never open my slim.

[StallionDragoon]

Those little screws are tricky. Turned out that in my rage I bent the disk drive downwards. I simply bent it back up to it's normal level(Plus a little more upwards in case I ever punch it again), and boom! Done.

[repairdroid77]

Mute time.

[killalangdon]

lol

[SunnyProductiions]

How do you open the ones NotoriousMastaG is talking about? It dosn't show in video?

[SunnyProductiions]

@SunnyProductiions The black ones

[stester22]

@SunnyProductiions just use a flat head screwdriver small one along the bit in the middle into two of the little holes they come out pretty easy

[TheOriginalWweRyan]

[zombiegunsmith]

[paulneylon121]

[con5tant]

[startin11]

@rennestudios go to farm n fleet or any other shop similar and buy the smallest Phillops flat head. Phillops is the brand

[RivasJonathan775]

21 dislike forgot the pieces goes

[TheRedBeastin]

I wonder if my ps3 could be fixed because it turns on and then back off.

[rennestudios]

I'm stuck at 1:00 trying to remove these three small screws! Whatever I do, they don't turn! Some appropriate tool for this case? Please help me!

[MyChemicalFruitCake]

@rennestudios I wanted to clean my PS3 and well... yeah.... I got stuck with those too... xDD

[NotoriousMastaG]

what the fucking horse shit...... those god damned screws under the disc tray, the weird ones, WOW we cant even repair our own consoles. thumbs up if you just ripped the cover the fuck off anyways tearing the screws out. not a single fuck was given that day, i repaired my system although now the cover is cracked. u mad sony?

[jdog14ish]

@NotoriousMastaG dude calm down there torx head screws u can get a torx screwdriver set at walmart for like 5 bucks

[djwestbrook36]

@NotoriousMastaG GOD DAMN I AM SO PISSED AT THOSE FUCKEN TORX SCREWS AT THE FRONT! LOWES DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE FUCKEN THING AND STARTS TALKING ABOUT BITS AND SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

[TheBarabusTKR]

@NotoriousMastaG its called a torx screwdriver t10

[jmabs509]

@NotoriousMastaG with little research, I found out you could use a small flat head to get them out :) cheers

[Altezza07]

@NotoriousMastaG Just buy a damn security star key. they ar like 1 euro on ebay. No need to rip the cover off!

[kugotsumin]

@NotoriousMastaG _U_ mad notoriousmastag?

[tratorta]

@NotoriousMastaG I bet you're a nigger.

Only a nigger would do a retarded thing like that.

[YDGAnThuhM]

@NotoriousMastaG why would they be? now your console looks haggard, plus they'll get more money, when it actually breaks down because you voided the warranty

[BAKER2296]

My cover wouldn't come off the way u did it? On the bottom, under where u put the disc in, do I have to take those weird screws out to open the entire cover?

[slayer3slipknot]

So you dissasembled it to change the cover ???

[NHdylan]

@Albin381 no but you can use a OLD xbox (not 360) grapics card !

[JDMHONDAEF]

Success To Clean The Dust'(:

[petesapwell]

Shit music and wandering video, not enough detail, hopless sack of shit.

[sniper4lif3]

i just wanna clean the dust out fk man

[RCROX5000]

@Albin381 No. For one, the PS3 doesn't have a graphics card, it has a graphics chip that's mounted to the motherboard. Secondly, that graphics chip is configured to work only with the PS3 OS, and work in tandem with the Cell processor. So in short, no, you can't use the PS3's graphics chip in a computer.

[Jooohaaaaan95]

The last song played when I lost my virgin :D LOL

[LFCMJFEVER]

This is the first time I'am going to ask for Annotations!!!!!!!!! :D

[ezeeduardo669]

my ps3 has a problem my disc doesnt makes the disc go inside the ps3 only ejects the disc but lik it gets stuck before ejecting the whole disc

[Kissez143]

My PS3 suddenly gets freezing after I did this.....what could be the reason behind? my purpose was only to clean it and keep it dust free....have I missed something after assembling it back?

[AlexOffTheDome]

Omg im shedding tears laughing going through all these previous comments :D :'(!!!

[mysticturtle1]

haha i have the same T 8 screw driver

[ps3player1239888]

im not sure of this i just want to kno is tha sticker he peeled off the warranty sticker

[tH3BiGb0Ss7]

@ps3player1239888 Yeah its the warranty sticker.

[hitokiri657]

@pimpmyconsole : I've never cleaned the aire vents of my ps3. I'm having problems with certain games that are cpu intensive such as bad company 2 , they freeze up after a few minutes. Is there a more efficient way to clean them besides opening it? Also, do I have to take those 3 uncommon screws at the beginning to disassemble? I dont have the screwdrivers.

[Kissez143]

What do you call that first one being removed from the PS3? the black thing? Is it okay if I use a small fan to blow air at the back of my PS3 while I'm playing it?

[playsafe869]

yeah I could beat off to this song with a smile on my face

[rudewolf89]

that's some hot porn music lol

[elsk8able]

i need to get out the game mw2 it wont read it and it wont get it out

[u29hwpnx]

@elsk8able is your ps3 broken? if so just do what this video shows but instead go for the disc tray and take the game out from inside

[elsk8able]

i need to get the game mw2 it wont read it and it wont get it out

[1994JoeTurner]

do i need to take out all of the screws in the bottom to simply take the top peice off??

[Djgyz]

thanks man u saved my playstation after my 2 yr old son thought it would be amusing to try and fit 3 dvd's in it at the same time

[eskuAdradit0]

@Djgyz LOL

[lilnan23]

I can't find the star shaped screwdriver with the hole in the middle

[HungarianLegionnaire]

Using an electrical screwdriver is not too smart & a great way to strip not only the screws but the metal or plastic holes they go into. A regular manual screwdriver is more precise and much safer on all electronics.

[TheLonelyForce]

I'm just watching this to see how the fan system works.
