I get a small amount of money if you end up using them to make purchase (it does not have to be for the item I link to, as long as you click my link then move to another item, it works)
Keep in mind that there are two variations of the ps3 slim where the fan is placed differently. The current model being shown is the newer model which fixed overheating problems due to the fan location
So i just took apart, cleaned, and put back together my ps3. It turns on fine, and takes the disc, but when it takes the disc, it makes a sound like its trying to take the disc again, and nothing happens. It doesn't read the disc. Any ideas? I figured it out. It was the ribbon cable under the disc reader. I forgot to insert it back in. Its working perfectly now!
The real challenge of disassembling and reassembling this specific model of slim is that one ribbon cable under the disc drive, motherf......... so much pain... rest ezpz lmn sqzzy
Nice tutorial man, helped alot not missing something and screwing it up... Though slim models have slight differences here and there, it wasn't too difficult, just tedious to deal with so much parts and dust haha. It runs smoothly at 35c now, 60c playing with fan at 25% although i might just change it to 30% speed for good measure.
The guide was helpful. I just wish it was not so complicated to just replace one battery. The CMOS battery is usually in plane sight once you open the device. So many steps and a lot could go wrong. I was able to replace the battery, replace the thermal paste, and clean the system. The system was back to running again with little problems.

mine 3000A what could be ?
I would caution anyone replacing the old clock battery that the plastic slot for it can be brittle and possibly break.
Something you missed was how much Thermal paste to put on
just a pea size drop it will spread
(Great video as usual, Kevin)
There should be a regulation forcing all manufacturers to make those batteries easily replaceable
Great tutorial, thank you!
thanks, this helped me fix my blu-ray drive after a 5 pence coin got stuck inside from the last owner, works great now!

Thanks for the video. A very helpful reminder if you don't tinker with a PS3 every week.
Ps4 slim next thanks!
What do you use to clean off the old thermal paste, and what do you use to clean dust from the internals?
I have a PS3 super slim.. is the battery the same? What model number battery?
Great video. Thank you.
Is it necessary to add new glue after taking off the board?
I didn't know that the disc drive goes in before the power supply...ughhhh
