i messed up the black clip that attaches to the disk drive broke on the main board is there a way i can fix that or get a new one?

@Cleonn100 I don't think the clip is sold separately. Usually, the damage is to the connector to which the clip attaches, so you can probably still make things work if you have only damaged one side. (Carefully close the clip while holding it where the connector would have, and it should clamp on well enough.)

I did it today, even got to touch the cell.

It was not that hard, now disassembling the controller, oh man! dont do it!

for a second i wondered why your ps3 looked to much different from mine, clearer i guess to could say, but then i soon notice that it was because yours was obviously not used, making me then realize that the difference between yours and mine was that your was soooooooooooooooooooooo much cleaner then mine :P
