This is not the best way, the way you did that makes it very easy to cut into the interposer and permanently damage the cell, you need to have a sharp side to cut the glue and the side that is on the interposer needs to be dull, that way no damage can be done
@@adam699 it is not funnymy friend, the ps3 cost a lot over here in Ghana, you should have warn people that they could scratch or cut the cpu line if they are not careful but u did not and i ended up cutting the cpu lines, send me one if you dont mind
@@husseinshardow62 you’re handling a razor, common sense would indicate that you have to be careful. Obviously you were not. Go troll somewhere else or chase another bus.
@@husseinshardow62 you should do your own research. I’m not the one that failed. I’m sure that if I found those traces with a razor I’d let you know. I said be careful. Obviously you weren’t careful enough.
Razor blade is the best way to brick your console.. one wrong turn, one little scratch on cpu's circuit board and it's gone. If the blade cuts off any of traces on cell, then your ps3 is busted.
this is the method I use, however I scratched 2 cpus so far, all work luckily, but I always break the blade to a smaller piece, and very carefully manover it with a plyer. I don't drag it to cut, but simply push it flat, and just cut the silicone off.
I definitely want to give this a try. I have been trying to figure out how to change the thermal paste on these, and everybody always wants to use some sort of paint tool. I’m guessing that you just have to be very careful.
@@gllmll7227 I suppose what it’s called is a painting knife. A man by Zakaira Hassan (I most likely spelled that wrong) Does a wonderful tutorial on how to safely do this. He even includes a link to the amazon page for the tool. I’ve done both my fat ps3s this way and haven’t killed either.
Smart but would make sure to use a razor with a blade sharped on one side. Also making sure angle of the blade is cutting up to the IHS to avoid cutting the processor. Have to try it good job 👏
Worked perfectly. You can feel the razor blade slide in through the adhesive. Using your fingers allows you to really feel the feedback real good so you will pick up changes in resistance. It also helps to imagine the location of the chip and observe there the razor edge is in relation to it. The RSX is trickier with the memory chips, but just make sure the razor-blade is as close to the lid as possible.
Glad you didn't heat up the Cell, the videos of people blasting heat on the Cell (not RSX) annoy me because I honestly think it doesn't help. The razor seems great, nicely done. Got my hands on a CECHC04 recently and I do want to delid it, I have two 20xx slims that I will test on first (as I believe their Cell and RSX are similar enough to Fats)
@@derekp9737 it is not. and think about it, it's been sitting there for about 9yrs at least. Later models of the PS3 removed the lid and left the Die exposed for thermal paste to be applied directly.
Sometimes the thermal past under the chips do not work anymore so even if you repaste without delid you wil stil have overheating and shutdown problems had few consoles with that problem for them its the only way for them to work.
@@SoMiSongbird I mean there is no “being very careful” with this procedure, the way he did it is still extremely dangerous for both you and the PS3, this method shouldn’t even be considered, and it’s not even the quickest, as someone who has delidded Cells before, I was able to do it with a modified painters knife in less than a minute, the issue with his tool is it is too sharp, very easy to cut up traces which it seems many people in the comments unfortunately already have killed their consoles due to this poor method

I used this method and i damaged my ps3 , folks pls dont used his method. It will scratch the cpu board

Just hit it with your purse
Broke my ps3 following your advice took a chunk out of the motherboard thanks
I said be careful

Another genius with a razor blade. Don't forget to heatgun it and eraser mod it for extra longevity.
Nahh you tripin, eraser mod is bad, you can watch the video called:"The eraser mod is killing ps3's" by sampsonay
@@gmdmat6668 pretty sure he was taking the piss
Did this and worked for me, just need to take youre time and it works
be careful not to push in the corner. this way I nicked and killed my cpu a couple of years back
👍

I think the safest way is to use finishing line or floss. Metal tools if not careful will permanently damage the mother board
@@Wolverine-ky9gk i should have seen your message earlier
Yeah Is hard
As many already mentioned, do not attempt it this way… There’s much smarter and safer options. Not the best way or even quickest in that matter.
like what

maybe putting a thin card or paper underneath the razor,decrease the risk of scratching the cpu and the components
Tie a piece of fine string to the blade. Pull
lol you almost destroyed it when the lid finally came off.
im ok to apply thermal paste on top of those chips right? i dont have to go with liquid metal that others use right?
Did it work?
wtf are u doing. i would never let u delid my ps3 this is the best and quickest way how to destroy ur ps3 cell

How did you make the gum soft!?
Was there any damage to the cpu at all? Did it work upon reassembly?

For me it didn t worked that well... oh man the adhesive was like stone even with heat gun and I scratched a little now it s dead
@fsociety4829 same for me but because I used something else 😂
and not better with a palette knife

Its destroyey
Barbaric!
is it recommended to delide ps3
yes
@@chafacorpTV why? isnt the thermal paste there better quality than the one that is between the heatsink and the chipset itself?

Not the "best" and safest but it is the quickest if you are very careful
It’s very dangerous, easy to kill the cell doing this
It's not even the quickest. A painters tool can do it faster.
@@Nascar1243 That's literally what I said
@@Johnny_LuvBuckets Basically, as fast...
