PS3 Disassembly
PS3 Disassembly
Taking the PS3 apart is a long and involved process, so make sure you have at least a couple of hours
to do this if it’s the first time. Also make sure you have proper lighting and the right tools.
You will need:
●Torx screwdriver
●Phillips head screw driver
●Small flathead screw driver (for removing the rubber foot)
●Somewhere with plenty of space that is well lit and that wont build up static electricity. (Mainly
anywhere but carpet)
So, here we have a brand spanking new PS3…..all ready to be taken part…..
On the left side of the console you will see a few rubber feet. The first screw to be removed is
underneath the rubber foot circled in red in the pic below. The foot can be pried out with a small screw
driver. Then underneath is a Torx security screw. You will either need a Torx screwdriver, or a flat
head screwdriver that will fit in the screw.

Once the screw is removed, slide the top of the case to the left. It may require a bit of force to slide if
your opening the console for the first time. After the top slides as far as it will go, lift the top and it
should come off as seen in the pic below:
After the top is off, there will be another cover. You will need to remove the 7 long screws circled in
red.

PS3 Disassembly
After the 7 screws are removed, gently lift up the back corners of the top half of the console. There are
2 small clips near the back you may need to undo with a small screw driver. Now the top of the console
should just lift off (with a bit of gentle force) and you will see the guts of the PS3.

PS3 Disassembly
First, the power supply (The silver box on the left) has to be removed. Remove the screws circled in
red, and take out the plug, the power supply will just lift out.

Also, take out the mains plug in the back of the power supply. The power supply should now be
completely disconnected from the PS3.

After the power supply is removed, the Bluetooth board (in the 60GB models, it also has wireless).
Unscrew the 4 screws and unplug the ribbon cable and the board will just lift out:

Now to remove the Blu-ray drive. This is relatively easy. Lift the drive up about 2”and you will see a
really wide ribbon cable connecting the drive to the motherboard. Unplug it. There will also be a plug
near the front of the Blu-ray drive. Unplug it as well. The drive will then just lift out.

Next, we have to remove the small circuit board that has the Reset and Eject buttons. This board is
attached to a small metal bracket. Remove the 4 screws holding the board and the metal bracket and
unplug the small ribbon cable. The board should now easily lift out.

Now remove the screws circled in red in the pic below.
After the screws are removed, gently lift out the whole motherboard along with the back panel like the
pics below: Make sure you have taken out the plastic cover with the HDD sticker on it! Otherwise the
clips on it will get bent!
