Can we edit this to say 4 screws?
I made the change from three to four screws, but you're able to edit the guides as well. If you want to edit something, you can click the Edit link on the right side of any guide step, or the Edit link at the top right of the page (sandwiched in-between View and History).
Do you guys have a guide for the PS3 Slim Model 3001A. The fan is different than this model.
3001a is basically same motherboard but cheaper plastic bd drive other than that its exactly the same until you get to the new slim line

My PS3 had only three Torx screws. Having four in the diagram was initially confusing. Obviously they made a mid-stream change at some point (mine is several years old now).
I've accidentally removed the ribbon cable from the blu-Ray drive and can not seem to figure out how to reconnect it. Can anyone help?
Take the top off the drive, connect the ribbon to the motherboard then replace the drive sliding the ribbon through the slot on the bottom of the drive and reconnect to the laser.
If the screw has a pin in the center, that means it is a security Torx meant to prevent tampering. To remove this screw, follow the guide I have linked below...
How do u buy the screw driver for these screws
Online at the usual suspects?
Or some hobby stores or places that sell tools will sometimes carry these.
Anyone else's screws for this step need the T7 bit instead of T8?

Remove the two 7.6 mm Phillips screws securing the power supply to the lower case.
Question: if a screw doesn't come out, what do you recommend, without potentially damaging the system, inside and out?
It seems these can be quite tight, but they did come loose with someextra force in my case. They did that thing where it makes cracking sounds, but nothing really breaks. They're just really tight in there. - I just wouldn't recommend taking these out too often.
The screwdrivers on the guide didn't work mine just don't come out any tips model is slim CECH 2001A
Step 8
These screws work as a ground pass through between the motherboard shields and the power supply. My cousin took his PS3 to a repair shop to replace the power supply, they didn’t put the screws back in after that and the PS was shutting down suddenly (no light green or red), put a couple of new screws and it’s being working fine since
Sometime ago i took apart my PS3 out of curiosity, When puting it back together, i messed it up, I stripped one of the PSU screws. Now, i can't take it apart for a paste replacement. Any ideas?
I had the same problem with very tight screws on PS3 power supply. I solved it by purchasing a Screw removal / extractor gripping pliers long nose style , with unique non-slip jaws for quickly extracting damaged / stuck screws. ENGINEER PZ-60 Neji-Saurus,Silver. ( bought mine on Amazon)
These pliers have special grips on tapered end to hold and turn stripped or rusty screws. It took a lot of effort, but screws finally came out using these pliers. A bit of sewing machine oil and prising under the washers with a flat screwdrvers helps too. Failing that, take it to repair shop as they are VERY TIGHT screws on some models of PS3.
I need some advice I have taken apart my PS3 slim unit to clean it. I bought it second hand last year and it is filthy, I am having issues because the screws holding down the power supply are very tight, they are not stripped and I am using the right screwdriver. I don’t want to damage the screws, can anyone help?

Continue to lift the left edge of the power supply until it lifts off the two metal posts shown in the second picture.

Remove the power supply from the PS3, minding any cables that may get caught.
It seems it kind of ends for me here. I can only lift the left side about an inch and then the right side stays down like it’s stuck to something underneath. It feels like I’m bending something. Could something have melted underneath?… It's really stuck, I can't get it to come loose. And I can't see much shining a light into it either. - Any tips?…
Did you undo the screws?
I had the same issue but was able to get it off. The right side (as per the above picture) has two long column like sections that actually goes into the machine. Took me a bit of wiggling and some brute force.
Um, I translated the guide from French to English and the name of the guide was “Food” and the description said “This guide shows you how to replace your diet” The translation is incorrect just to let you know!
Hi! Thanks for you attention! But no worries, the French word “alimentation” means power, food or diet depending the context.
Alright, thanks!

Hello, my question is I have an american ps3 which works on 110 volts and I'm in europe where they use 220volts so if I plug my ps3 without any converters will it burn or will it wor? Because I have a laptop and it works fine will my ps3 work like that aswell?
Perhaps, you should check the model of your PS3 and verify online. I have the CECH-2501B model (110v) but I use it in Nigeria (220v).

Not sure if this is where I should post this, I have a ps3 it turns on and the light goes green for 10 seconds and then it just shuts down. Not sure whats wrong with it any help would be great.
Don’t even need to bother with the sticker anymore since SONY does not care what you do with them anymore.
