    Wish i could have the same skill and confidence as you. I’ve never clean my PS3 since 2006, nor my Nintendo 64 that i bought since release.

      Watch a couple more tutorials till you are confident, I cleaned mine about a month ago and it's fairly easy if you take things slow

      The most important thing is to get the correct tools for the job once you’re confident enough to do so

    Much appreciated on the video, taken mine apart although I didn't have any paste. Gave it a proper clean and managed to break the 3v battery when replacing it then re soldered the back pin. Great tutorial.

      @@techrestoread Would you be able to recommend a gentle rust remover for the metal heat dispersion plate that the thermal paste presses against. Used a fiber optic brush yet I'd like to completely treat it if possible.

    I purchased 2 of them recently to give to my parents to record tv (PlayTV) and as a backup to my old well used PS3 Slim.
    One was filthy and the other was almost brand new. The warranty sticker was untouched and there wasn't any dust on the fan. I couldn't believe it 😂

    I'm kinda amazed how difficult and time-consuming this PS is. Just restorated PS4 Pro and even it seemed to have less things to rememberize than this Slim PS3. Anyways, I still have no choise but try to manage with this puzzle because my console has done great job spinning movies over ten years without opening it. 💪

      @flintbeastwood7665 Месяц назад

      Thanks to you by doing such great job and sharing it all. 👍 I'll use this as a guide when I have time and right mood starting this. Yep, I'm concerned about those plastic parts and that disc cover part because you have to do some of the job console facing upside down. I like this console because it so simple and has quite reliable disc mechanism and it works so seamlessly with Bravia TV.
