This is why delidding a PS3 is super dangerous

- You should never try delidding your PS3 without any practice or prior experience. Because it is a super dangerous process and any mistake you make during the process could easily destroy your PS3.
Tip... it can be cut off safely with TOOTH FOSS & isopropanal, takes ages but no chance of scratching the chip. Just put the floss in a corner and start sawing!
Is it honestly still worth the effort fixing ps3's like this because the chance of the fix working for long time is pretty small even after all the hard work of fixing the console. If it's for practise I can understand completly these ps3's are helping my skills alot but they also make me tired xD
Thanks for the tips! Seems a nice solution!
@@HD-wf3bp its a thing some of us like doing. Saving an old machine from the bin. For others its not worth it as there is many ways to play ps3, the old ps3 slim is not that expensive and emulation is good ... but there will never be anything like the fat 60gb ps3 with mulity man. 😃 they are worth the time to fix!
@@MK-qo1rz mmm maybe I should fix mine too but I dont have those ram chips and i feel like reflowing the gpu en cpu isn't going to work. It tried it once with my old ps3 and after that it went from a ylod to turning on but very very loud and it doesn't even play games. So i spend like 2 days doing this and it didn't really work. I was dissapointed xD but could it work good with new ram chips like people say? What do you think.
Wow….
You don't need to heat this up to delid Cell. It doesn't have an effect on the silicon glue. You just need a thinner knife.
It's true. I sharpen my knife a little bit and the delidding is much easier now. Previously I thought I could soften the glue using heat.
In fact, silicone gets harder as you heat it.
Holy shit that has to be nerve wracking. I'll just stick to my Ps3 Slim and Ps2 separately lol
I used the same method and not having bi-component thermal glue I closed everything sandwich type with only the pressure of the heatsink + thermal paste.
This is the only step I'm missing to COMPLETELY restore the ps3, since I already completly undusted the insides, cleaned the fan, even put brand new paste to the top of both chip lids, but I don't dare delidding for the thermal paste inside, feel like I could mess it up real hard xD. Saw the teeth floss comment and seems more up my alley but idk, scary goose.
Mine has a solid IHS glue, i try heating and with sharp edge, even cutting wire and no results. Is a ps3 FAT.
5:02 I can see your Oh shiz moment 🙀🙈
That was really the scariest moment I have ever had. Likely I didn't destory anything and that PS3 was fine.
I was wondering why the in the cap replacement video you didn't re-paste, now I see it's because you had already did it. Nice video.
Thanks for watching! Glad that you found it useful.
You made that look a lot harder than it needed to be to be honest.
Precision knows no bounds.
Take as much time as you need.
Steel wire is safer for CELL-BE than any method you use with physical force because it does not apply any pressure on the IC interposer.
Just found my PS3 and it's super dusty, would like to get this done before I start playing it. Note: it's never been open, backwards compatible. In the USA
I was shocked to see the last one😬
haha. WIsh you success in deliding your PS3!
Easy delid - squirt silicon spray or Goo Gone under the heat spreader and let soak for a week.
what about the RSX?
Hello there! I hope you're doing great and having a good day. So I'm planning to use a dissolver and tooth floss to remove the cpu ihs in my ps3 super slim instead of heating up and using blades or any kind of other metal tools. What do you think? Thanks in advance.
Its possible, (ive done it before) but it takes a long time and if the adhesive isnt wet enough it could cause scratches to the cpu (depending on how deep) could damage the traces. But its probably the safest way to do it. But only on the phats and some of the early slims because on the newer ones they have added a spacer between the cpu and ihs making it more difficult and dangerous to delid.
Just don't pull up on the cpu while doing it. I've had to get my checha reballed because i cracked the solder balls underneath the cpu.
@@0852657luis could you please explain more why the adhesive has to be wet enough? I didn't understand that part.
@@jamespatrick686 because if you're going to do it dry the chances you are gonna damage it get higher.
The adhesive will stick to the floss and bring abrasive to the cpu traces that are underneath.
A solvent plus heat will really help things to soften it up a little bit but obviously not at the same time.
Just being sure to use new floss whenever the adhesive starts to stick to the floss. Better safe than sorry plus ou can get a muilpack from the dollar store so you can have plenty to do it.
@@0852657luis okay okay i fully got you now, just one more question and i'll stop bothering you. So according to you is the dental floss way still safer than the method shown in this video: ruclips.net/video/b-Jviv0GmvQ/видео.html
@@jamespatrick686 like I said if it's got that black spacer then you won't be able to do it with floss and will be required to get this tool (if you can).
also another thing if you do get this tool and are able to do this successfully if it doesn't pop up easily, then you have one that has adhesive or solder on the cpu die and will probably damaged it if you try to remove it.
At that point you will need to desolder the cpu from the board and try to heat up the solder or adhesive in order for it to break loose.
can the ps3 survive indefinitely by just cleaning off old thermal paste and reapplying new one every other or should i delid as im about to do this soon. my fat launch model ps3 has been sitting dormant for years due to overheating and have finally got the will to try and fix it. Should i delid or clean and top off with thermal paste?
I mean repasting is worth a try, but most likely you need to delid. You can also try the eraser mod if you don't want to delid, but it's a pretty ghetto mod tbh

هل لديك حل لهذه المشكلة.
شكرا لك.
What did you place under the flathead to remove the RSX?
It is just a piece of leaflet to prevent scratching the chip. You can use any paper that is thick enough too.
Hi can u remove the cap of cpu ps3 superslim type cech 420
Delided one today. Wanna say that knife 2 no.2 does job much easier. Or maybe my no.1 is not that sharp anymore.
Hi Hardware Repair, I’m having some difficulty might had knock off few caps while removing the token chip.
May I know is there a way I could check is the volt delivering to the process and gpu working or not with a multimeter? Had stuck in this process for few days, had replaced the cap. Not planning to try the SYSCON Tool at the moment before about to diagnose what is the cause of YLOD.
Any suggestions? Thank You
If your PS3 model is CECHA, there is circuit diagram for it already. You can check the diagram to see if you have missing caps.
I am not sure how to test the voltage to GPU. I hope someone here would tell us how to it too.
@@hardwarerepair200 Thanks!
Copper shim replacement don't reuse aluminum hms plate.
Stupid NEC chips.
I don't feel comfortable doing that I was wondering hardware if you do have to delid them I just replace the thermal paste on the top I was wondering if that's OK to do better as I feel more comfortable with that
If your PS3 temperature is okay, then you don't need to delid at the moment. But the thermal paste below the IHS will eventually go dry (maybe in the next 5 or 10 years) and you will need to delid it.
I was also very uncomfortable at the very beginning. What I did is to to buy a few broken PS3 for me to practice on. They just cost you around 10-20USD each, so you might want to buy a few to practice too.
Mind you, different PS3 models might have different motherboard designs and different glue strength for the RSX and CELL. You better buy the PS3 that has the same motherboard as yours.
You can check which PS3 has which motherboard here: www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/SKU_Models#PS3_Fat_.28Alpha_series.29
Feel free to ask more questions!
@@hardwarerepair200 OK thanks for the advice I have to admit I have a model CECHK03 which this model has a smaller motherboard which is on the disc drive side and also is has a plastic power supply and not a metal one it is a better design one Is a lot quiter then all other models which have metal power supply also I have had this console for nearly 8 years I have replaced the thermal paste on the top and ever since then it has been quite I have three ps3 fat models which have been quite and haven't had the lids been delid
@@ryanearl8034 Then you don't need to worry about delidding right now. But it is still a good idea to start practicing in case you need to do it in the future.
May our PS3s live long!
@@hardwarerepair200 OK thanks the annoying thing is that I don't have any thermal adhesive to out the lids back on but thank you for the advice you have helped me out 😀
@@ryanearl8034 When putting it back, we do not need to put thermal adhesive. The heat sink itself is tight enough to make everything staying in place. If you like you can put a bit of normal thermal grease to the places where the adhesive were instead, it also works.
According to my understanding, the thermal adhesive is only useful in the production line to make sure the IHS always stays with the chip.
hey bro can i delide ps3 slim
There were a lot of jump scares in this video. Better put in a warning next time.
Use the right tool and it will be easier
I only delidded the RSX... I don't have the tools for the Cell I don't wanna ruin it lol
I killed my ps3 attempting to dlid the cell a year ago.... no matter what I did, the painter knife woudn't cut into the glue.
Damn that's hard.
I would say it is time consuming and tedious. I messed up in the end because I thought it's done very soon, and sped things up a bit.
@@hardwarerepair200 understandable! Mine currently sits at 65°C it's a Slim CECH-2008B version. But I'm getting 3 beeps randomly ! I'm afraid it could be infamous Nec Tokin ! However i can't confirm which could be bad neither i find the tantulam capacitor 😩 in my local area. It sucks
@@emcee-rit I have another video for capacitor replacement, in which I used 2R5TPE470M9 as the replacement. You may want to check that m.ruclips.net/video/rTYUpXKCypY/видео.html
@@emcee-rit If you are running CFW, you can install a software called PS3 Advanced Toolset and use the function called syscon dump, where you can check the exact error code causing that 3 beeps.
If you get error codes ending with 1001, that means the NEC\TOKIN near CPU is bad. If you get 1002, it means GPU.

@@hardwarerepair200 thanks alot Sir! I'll check it out 😃🙏 using evilnat 4.89 cfw
Da um trabalho tirar isso
That is 100 procent the same as what happeneds with my Xbox when I tried to remove the clams from the heat sink :( but with mine theres s deep scratch the length of my hand xD and I even took of some components but the traces are gone.
On the bright side, each mistake is a valuable lesson. So we have learned to do better through these mistakes :D
@@hardwarerepair200 yes on to the next RROD :D
looks pretty easy..
عمل رائع جدا.

I'd rather replace the PS3 than have to go to all this trouble. I would do this if it was required on a PS4 pro or PS5 though as they can still be quite expensive in my country
you'll replace the ps3 with another that will have the exact same issue at one point? Do you not have common sense? The whole design of these crap consoles is junk, its badly thought out for the long run. You can get consoles from the 80s, 90s and 00s working without any major issues, meanwhile these craps break down after a few years with nearly impossible fixing for the common user.
@@barricademadness I agree with you there not reliable at all just a preferred system I like how they can be modded easily. That being said I have 3 broken ps3 consoles sitting here 🤣 the 4th one is dying but working for now.
@@Jordy_G_ pretty much
If you modded them, go change the fan speed and set it really fast. Will be noisy but will increase the life expectancy
