Excellent tear down, very helpful in boosting my confidence that I was using the right techniques to pull apart my overheating PS3. It has sentimental value, it was the first gift my wife gave to me after we married. I'm hoping to be able to keep it running for a long time.
Excellent! Thank you for the feedback and your support to the channel by a SUB :P, if you need any help at anytime feel free to ask me.
Cool
Great Video! The title says "repaste" but this is SUPER useful for every part of the PS3 Slim, not just the thermal paste part.
Glad it helped! i put repaste because in order to get to paste i have to take everything apart and i like explaining and not cut up videos, and i appreciate your support to the channel :)
Exactly it's super helpful! I was struggling to connect the disc drives power strip that goes in flat til i realized you unclipped it and wound it back in through the drive. Thanks so much!
Hooking back the disk drive is a royal pain. Getting it out is easy!
Bro next time take the ribbon out from underneath the drive itself and not from the mobo. It's so much easier to reattach it that way.
@@hamajangz9586 dont think its easier bcoz the ribbon cable is easily detached from the motherboard connector. Either way you still have to disassemble the dvd drive in order to reattach the cable properly.
Yeah just take the top of the bd drive remove the ribbon cable from the laser
I can open up a xbox 360 blind folded ( no joke) but ps3 are tough to take appart and reassemble.
@@MrVitalic85 that is dope
Saved this to a playlist in case my PS3 stops working or reading discs. It's an incredibly thorough and simple breakdown of a console. Nice work!
Awesome, thank you! 😊Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P

That’s the best strip down I’ve seen. Especially the ribbon cable from the Blu-ray drive. I’ve always messed about with tweezers pushing it in underneath! Very simple to follow well done 👍
its my pleasure to have helped 😊 Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P

My 10 year old PS3 slim runs very quiet, but I know I must replace the thermal paste for good measure. Very helpful video, thank you.
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
OMG trust me your PS3 will start talking to tell you THANK YOU :P
you will increase the life span of the console. its like having a car and never needed to replace the oil, the car would run still but at any point it will lock down and GG.
Yikes
Sometimes changing the oil in a car that has only been "filled with oil" is bad for the car lol sooo I've always changed out my oil but im scared to change the oil (clean) my ps3 lol
For anyone wondering, this is a ps3 slim model CECH-2511a
thank you for the feedback, and yes it is 2511a and the other model the link to it is in the video description
Do you have a video for the model CECH-3001B ?
And what would be the diffetence between the 2511 and 2501?
mine is 2500a
is the internal are different?
Yeah I have this one and i was struggling to find anyone else with the same one on youtube. I was having trouble with the disc drive.
Thanks man, I had lost all hope for my PS3, so much that I bought a new one. Now I stumbled into this miraculous video of yours and I managed to fix my PS3, which wouldn't turn on for more than 10 seconds. Now I'll give one of the PS3s to my brother and we'll play together. Thanks again man, your help is greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to say thank you for uploading this!! I was in the process of cleaning my disc laser and when I finally got to the step of reattaching the ribbon cable, I almost gave up entirely. So many reassembly guides expect you to be able to reattach the ribbon cable by squeezing your hand through the back. I found it impossible. Thanks to you I was able to get it reattached!

much appreciated
A massive thank you. I followed your guide and a bunch of others and to great success. Took me a total of 4h50m, because I forgot a piece and couldn't understand immediately where the part was coming from. Also my console froze, but as I understood later it was due to a faulty Blu-ray disk and not my poor assembly.
Anyway, it was easy to understand and was great fun to follow.

its a good feeling to see that people can start repairing and do their own diagnostics :P
Thanyou brother. I just followed this guide to fix an overheating PS3. Excellent stuff! Thanks again.
What are the symptoms of an overheating ps3?
@@snoozeyouloose6405 Sounds like a jet engine
@@gameonz8416 okay because mine sounds like a nuclear bomb
@@snoozeyouloose6405 Mine just says its hot
Mine sounds like a hair dryer about to explode as soon as I turn it on. N then I get a overheating message like 5 minutes later... Did you try this method? N did it work?

ps3 practically runs like brand new now thank you for this detailed video!
Glad I could help! thank you for the support and your feedback.
Is it still running good nowadays ?
@@alan370z4 unfortunatley the HDMI port on it became loose and wouldn't show a signal
Thank you uFixTek for showing the technique of warming the underside of the motherboard, my motherboard was stuck fast and I thought I had missed a screw or something though I couldn`t see any that I had missed and I was about to give up when in desperation I found your excellent tutorial. Like you said I simply used a hair dryer on the underside of the motherboard like you showed and it all came apart easily - I was SO relieved! THANK YOU AGAIN uFixTek !! Subscribed.
im glad it was a help, if you have any question in future ask :P
Great job. Especially putting the Blu-Ray drive back in. This video was better than the last 3 I found.

I have some experience in cleaning and repasting game consoles and PCs, but today was the first time I did it to my slim PS3. I gotta say, your video helped me a great deal, and saved me a lot of time and trouble. This is a perfect guide, I will be watching more of your tutorials. Thank you for this excellent content!
Thanks for sharing, and i appreciate your feedback and support for the channel and in the future if you have any request or question ask me in any of my video comments. thanks again :)
Thank you! I was able to follow along step by step and take care of dust-bunny clogged overheating system, and it only cost $17 for a safety tool and thermal paste. Awesome video!
Glad it helped! and i appreciate your support to the channel by sub :) if you ever have any question or request you may ask me in any of my video comments
@@uFixTek I Have some problems with my system, I Think it might be the fan because it shuts off right away. It would also turn off the PS3 the moment the fans start running quickly (Making a low humming sound) when it does not shut off right away in first problem and happens while im playing a game for a half hour.
@@R101_Gamer That's the same problem I have man,that's the sign of an overheating PS3...should follow this video,it's your best bet at fixing it.
Have not bit the bullet yet - but the thoroughness of your video, you careful and through explanations and side comments were really beautiful. Seen many how toos, and you were incomparable. That's not to say I won't have troubles, but it won't by your fault. You really did an GREAT job. 10 Stars
Thank you :) and coming week i will post a fat model.
Great video! I have a PS3 slim since 2011 and I still used it a lot and I have never taken it apart to clean it. I have just been using built in self cleaning vaccum. I will definitely try this down the line.
thank you for the feedback and your support to the channel, and your ps3 will be happy if you do it :P it will give a longer lasting life span, if you have any questions feel free to ask me in any of my video comments.
Did you do it yet 🙂
5:30 DO NOT pull on the flex cable at the bottom of the DVD drive!
The retaining clip is the brown piece around the plug on the board
Lift the brown piece up gently from power supply side and the cable will be free
PULL STRAIGHT UP , it will release it self, the retaining clip its not biting on the flex it won't damage the flexor! we open so many and never ever had issue with it. but if you want to fight with it and find a way to stick your finger under and not damage the flex and pull the clip out..sure do it. but there is no way in hell you can damage the flexor by pulling it straight.
After I reassembled it my disc drive wont spin at all and no sign of readin (no light beneath it), would you know where that comes from ? Been tryin a lotta stuff with no success (btw I made the mistake of leavin a disc in the PS3 before openin it so it may have a link to that...)
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: regarding your issue its a very common error, one of the flex cables at the back are not pushed all the way in, and double check the flex cable under the dvd make sure its correctly in. i do get in my store people open and then this happens and 99% of the time they didn't place the flex cable all the way in or damaged the tips of the cables.

good im glad that it helped you out :P thank you for the positive feedback
Just did mine following your instructions. Worked great very easy to follow. Thankyou!!
Pete Stevens im glad it was easy ☺️ , thanks for your feedback
And what's wrong with ur ps3 ?
I just wanna say hands down you have the best how-to tech retro console repair and maintenance videos on TH-cam. I like how you include BOTH tear down AND reassembly. I wish you’d be a little more descriptive with exactly what screws go where with the reassembly..I tend to get lost there. But that’s just me being nit-picky. I’m an idiot and usually end up with an extra screw or 2 left over at the end. But I throughly enjoy your videos. Long time lurker new subscriber here 👍
much appreciate your feedback and support my friend, as this is an old video i have upgraded to 4k videos and i have improved on audio and explanation a bit, but as video editing and teaching is not my profession, but i'm working on improvement and i take every bit of the feedback in count :) its not easy for me to explain too because i speak 5 languages and its hard to focus and try explain in a different Lang and watch the recording screen and pay attention :P
my goal is to teach / help everyone to save money and do it at home services.
Tanks again
Just did this to my super loud PS3 CECH-3001A and holy crap its almost silent now. I legit thought I forgot to plug the fan in until I leaned in super close! Thanks for the great guide!
Also I didnt even know thermal paste could get that dry lol
You're welcome 😊 Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
if you have any question or request feel free to ask my anytime my friend :)
im happy that you got it serviced, and yes the Thermal paste its very very important past of the system, if you place a even better paste next time you will see how quiet it will work.
and the paste dry after 3years or depending how much you use it daily.

At min 25:15 you forgot to put the screw at the back of the BD Drive
CiTRU5 i did but i put it back after the video. But nothing would happen if you forget it most of the screws are unnecessary. Thank you for mentioning it :p
@@uFixTek so that's where the remaining screw is supposed to go :D
not really unecessary I think it just helps if the system gets very hot so nothing bends or flex
Lol, I'm glad you pointed that out. I misplaced my screw somehow during the teardown... i think I might have put it in the heatsink shrowd?... whatever, now if i find a tiny black screw in the future, my OCD will kick in and Ill tear this thing apart again, lol.
The power supply case does hold down that little tab too.
Liked and subscribe. Thanks for the tutorial. Got mine clean and up running again after about a few hours. The disk drive cable is a hassle but the rest is pretty straight forward. And thanks for the tips on reheating the cpu. 😊
Thank you for the awesome support , this type of comments motivates me to make more videos for everyone and answer questions. and im glad the video helped you out. :P

Those are the only two tiny thermal pads? I just repasted my PS3 (same model as the one in this video) and I only saw those two thermal pads and I thought some others fell off or something, I was worried.
So those two are the only ones in that model. Does it need more? Aside from that, is that a thermal pad over HDMI port? Not sure
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: those are the only once , don't worry much about it just make sure you place a good thermal paste on GPU and CPU

Whats with that 4th tiny screw on yours? its ot there on my ps3, and I cant lift up and it feels like theres a screw there. Any help is appreciated.
My motherboard was stuck tight too and felt as though there was another screw that I had missed, I was losing hope of being able to access the CPU/GPU chips without breaking something and was about to give up when I saw this video and how he warmed up the chip area on the underside of the motherboard first. In my case I warmed the area up with a hair dryer and prised the board apart around the edges - it worked and I was so relieved!
@@sputnik466
I forgot to remove the "warranty sticker" which had another screw behind it, lol

my mans got a great video, that really helped me, however if you follow his step by step you're gonna end up with one lone black screw at the end just like me and like him. After reviewing the footage i know exactly where it goes, The disk reader thingy has one where the three ribbons go in a black plate type thing.

Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Didnt take out the disc tray, just the power supply. But I cleaned my ps3 for the first time that I've owned (9yrs, new) and omg there was so much dust
ya you should do it every year or max every 2 years, all depending the daily use. thank you for the comments and your support
@@uFixTek yeah. The comment auto corrected to ps4, I meant my ps3.
But my ps4 I've cleaned several times because it is consistently in use. My ps3 hasn't even been turned on in like 2 years but I figured since I'm doing the ps4 again might as well.
Thank you for not overexplaining. You made this easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful! and i appreciate your support to the channel :) if there is anything in the future ask out in any of my video comments :)
Having to disassemble the disc drive is a huge no for me dawg. But thanks for the video.. I need to gain more courage before attempting something like this with my PS3 Slim

Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
@@uFixTek Hello again. So after this my PS3 have stopped retaining the date and time. So now I m gonna replace the battery but as I will be popping up the thermal past again, do I need to replace it again and change the battery cell or I can just change the battery cell directly?
I just jailbroke my slim and discovered the temps are 65 C and 73 C just during idling . It was used mainly as a blu ray player since it was new, and occasionally only for PS3 exclusives- and the thing would always make this expansion/contraction creaking noise while it was heating up, and again while it would cool after power-off. Hoping that a cleanup and repaste will correct that and help it run cooler.
it will for sure, just use a top quality thermal paste.
Should you have any questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
cheers🍻
Thanks man, I have a CECH-3004B, and most videos on PS3 Slims feature a different model, so yours was quite helpful, especially the disc drive part !

thank you for your support and feedback my friend
The PS3 slim is another excellent example of Sony’s superb signature hardware and exterior design; it’s gorgeous, intuitive, quiet, and reliable. My PS3 slim looks and runs like new, so I won’t have to disassemble it anytime soon, I hope. ✌️
it is a good idea to do so and repaste, dont wait for it to fail, its like saying i have a car it runs just fine , why would i need a oil change! :/
uFixTek Good point!
It's also an overheating headache designed to die after a few years.
I watched your video and was very thankful, did all the steps like you did. Got 2 screws now that i cant remember where they came from, but the overheating is a bit less now. Then i watched another video and saw that you can open the CPU and GPU even more. The silver thing is just a "safety cap". Beneath is more heat compound that could be old. At least that is what i saw in that video from Nsc. Might be important to change that paste too.
Thank you for the feedback and your support and regarding the "thing" its not too important and if you wish you can replace the it. i don't remove the IHS because its too risky for the viewers to do so and they can really damage the cpu or gpu, and we have done many many test and the difference are:
if you replace the IHS thermal compound you will only get 3c extra temp drop! (not worth it not even a bit)
@@uFixTek i heard that there are some ps3's that have a bigger problem with the thermal paste under the ihs. but i get what you are saying, you are trying to not make it too complicated and better save the viewer from damaging anything.
Fantastic video, my specific slim was a bit different but similar enough I was able to tear it all the way down to the board and replace the thermal paste. About to test drive it now and see what it can do.
You are welcome! Glad you liked it 😊Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P

regarding your situation: you had a higher model that has the flex cable at the back: th-cam.com/video/Gey66EGkCBs/w-d-xo.html
Neat! But it took me 3 hours to get this done. I know i am slow, i was very careful and did exactly like what mentioned in the video. Only to change the CMOS battery so that PS3 clock would be correct. Really painful and sad that Sony made it complicated like this.

yes this companies don't like making anything easy.
so you say don't use regular alcohol, but don't give any recommendations on what we should be using instead? what specifically should we use to clean? Is Kester a good option?
Here are the items i used:

First, thank you very much, it's so easy to have someone to follow when it's the first PS3 you open!
I had some troubles with the bluray drive because I left a disc in it and I had to reset it by removing a gear
And you forgot 1 screw behind the drive lol was scared to see a screw left 🤣
I would have been easier if you showed the screws before reassembling them but overall it was very useful to me!
You are welcome! thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
regarding the screw its not a important screw , i had to reopen and place the screw later on but, ya this was one of my 1st videos and i was learning to focus on camera and do the job and talk and all at the same time :P but i got better at it , if you haven't place the screw nothing will happen.

Glad I found this video. Much better than others I've seen. Thank you.
i just bought a used PS3. It takes the discs in but sounds like it's struggling. The steel rods are dry on the disc drive so I'm thinking they need lubricated. What grease do you recommend? Or it could be the motor is going bad. I hope not.

Thanks for an excellent guide! My PS3 still won't start, but having gone through this process I can now be pretty sure it's a power supply issue so I've ordered one from eBay. Interestingly, my CECH-2002A model was slightly different in a few places; only three tamper-proof screws along the front side instead of four, the wi-fi and BT antennas are routed over top of the DVD instead of underneath, and notably the DVD-ROM ribbon cable was moved to the rear of the unit, making assembly much easier.

regarding your situation: you had a higher model that has the flex cable at the back: th-cam.com/video/Gey66EGkCBs/w-d-xo.html
80% of the clients that come in the store have PSU issue, when you turn it on it suddenly turns off or it only makes a beef noise. replace the PSU and you set to go.
@@uFixTek yup, that's my symptoms exactly. I tried to crack the PSU open for a better look but stopped before I broke something. I already liked and subbed - I know when I've found a good thing!
much appreciate your support, i repair consoles laptop and i been doing this for over 18years so if there is anything you need feel free to ask. Note: leave new comment when you got question as this comments go down the list and i don't scroll a lot :P
Do the slims and super slims suffer from the NEC Tokin capacitors like the fat models do? Or did they change these for the slim models
in some ps3 slim do have the same issue and some dont. thank you for the feedback and support to the channel i will make a video on how to repair the NEC cap issue.
Lol, still comments asking for help! this is really good ^^

Damn there’s a handful of screws I’ve failed to place lmaooo
it happens most of the screws are useless anyways.
uFixTek ahh thank god, my PS3 won’t accept discs now though. My uncle did tell me the PS3 doesn’t want to take in disks, but it’s because the rom metal frame is smashed so it’s covering the entry port for it to take discs
I left out the security torx screws, I removed them with a tiny flat-headed screwdriver! xD
@Major Gear no screws left on table after reassembling, did I something wrong? :o
@@Shejku92 maybe you drop it and it teleported to another dimension
thank you so much, I repasted my PS3 entirely, temperature is at a stable 50°C with a silent fan in DJ Hero 2 and 30°C on XMB
thank you

@14:55 you mention using heat to spread it out. Just out of curiosity, could I put my thermal grease pen (or whatever it is called) in a cup of hot water to heat the grease up in the container before applying it?
NO don't do that!, just do a X shape and you be fine. make sure you not using "heat grease", you need a proper "thermal paste" a GOOD brand thermal paste.
Do you think someone who never did anything like this before could replace the cmos battery, repaste the cpu and gpu and clean the fan? I'm really thinking about it.
Thank you for the feedback! if you wish to support the channel you can LIKE or SUB or both :P
regarding your question: yes my friend if you follow the step by step you will be more than fine, am here always if you need any additional help, just take your time and you be fine , use a good thermal paste:
🔵 #1 thermal paste: amzn.to/39BnQjB
🔵 #2 thermal paste: amzn.to/3xDpskD
also there is a different reversion in case your dvd is a bit different use this video, with this two video you be fine my friend:

Great guide. Unfortunately, my ps3 is not turning on though. It was working before the disassembling, but now no sign of power when I plug it in. Any idea on what could have happened? Thanks in advance
sorry to hear about your incident, try to taking apart and make sure the power unit in plugged in correctly and the 12v cable tot eh motherboard and the flex cable to the power on board is pushed in all the way.
Nice video! Lots of good info.

Much appreciated 😃
I gave myself B minus. Had a spare screw in the end 🤔, plus i had a white rubber band don't recall seeing it, just popped out after i opened the CD drive. Ran out of thermal paste. But i think its enough. Now just waiting for the power supply from China before i can test it.
jajaja i hope it works after all and that B minus can be flipped to A+ :P
Great video, I checked many and this was the best one. Great explanations, taking it slow, thank you very much! Subscribed. Just one question - at the back of the blu-ray dvd drive, I accidentally moved the tiny brown plastic thing connecting the brown flex cable to the motherboard. The brown plastic thing tilted around 45 degrees forwards (without detaching from the motherboard), then I moved it back exactly in place. Now, everything works but the blu-ray dvd drive does not. I'll inspect all the ribbon cables tomorrow to see if they're plugged in properly, but I am afraid it could be that brown thing I moved now has messed up soldering... is that possible? Thank you very much in advance.
It's my pleasure my friend, i appreciate your support.
🫠Regarding your question, let me see if I understand correctly: "You bent the jack of the brown flex cable right at 5:10, that jack?"
If you bent that jack to 45 degrees and then back to 90 degrees, there's a 99% chance that you've cracked or ripped the jack legs from the motherboard. You'll need to solder it back to the board, or take the motherboard to a repair shop and ask them to quickly solder the jack pins back to the board. The pins might be cracked and not visibly detached. This should take the repair shop about 5 minutes, and most shops should do it for free.
Should you have any further questions or requests in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me.
cheers🍻
@@uFixTek Thank you very, very much for such a fast and detailed answer on a 6 year old video. I went to the repair shop today with the motherboard, and, as you said, the soldering was done super quickly and everything works now! They did make me pay a small amount, but I think that's normal in Brussels, at least in my neighbourhood. Thank you once again!
It's my pleasure, my friend. I'm glad that you got it fixed, and the experience you gained is worth it. If you ever need any help, you can always ask me by leaving a new comment on any of the videos. I always check the new comments first.
