My PS3 is back up and running, and the fan is so guiet not I can hardly hear it. I will add that these pictures provided are from a 60GB launch PS3. Overall, this is a great guide and the kit was a great price. I hope my PS3 will remain operational at least through Christmas I've got my eye on the UC3 Bundle;.
This is an excellent guide! While it did work for an entire year after the repair which is very surprising with most people saying theirs only worked for about a month after getting it fixed , I definitely don't think all that money was worth it. I am extremely pleased that I was able to fix it myself with absolutely no cost to me I borrowed a heat gun and thermal paste from a friend.
I will most likely open it up at replace the thermal paste though, as I've heard the paste Sony uses is very cheap, along with a few modifications for better cooling. Also, my PS3 is the 60GB backwards compatible if that is of interest to anyone. Fix Your Stuff Community Store.

Now begins the most delicate part of the tutorial. If the game is super important opening it is your only option. There are only two wires you need to unplug, but one is much easier to destroy, ruining the system forever. I found out the hard way by breaking this wire connection like an idiot, BUT found a way to repair it and still have everything work perfectly fine.
Before I get into opening it up and all the hard stuff I have been getting comments asking what is the point since PS4 and newer systems are out? Other than of course getting the saves off and fixing your system the whole point is the PS3 is an excellent media player. It is by far the best media player you can buy for the price that makes any home theater setup much better.
As you will read later in this guide I bought a new PS3 and use that as my main one now, but my old PS3 that broke is now moved to a different TV to give it all the benefits the PS3 provides. First step to this is realize this has to be done. No need to cry and complain about it anymore. This system is meant to be built and repaired and everything should come apart fairly easily. Some sections may need a little more effort, but before you do this always double check you got all the screws out.
Behind it is a piece of rubber that you remove then the first screw which unlocks everything. The first screw you use the T10 Torx Screwdriver while all the others inside you use the Philips 1 Screwdriver.
I also have a easy to follow video below showing you exactly what to do. They know exactly what they are doing and make it easy to make sure you get the correct screws. I suggest reading the tips below first just to give you an idea of what you may run into while reading their guide. Do this for all screws in this guide. Not all screws are the same and need to be placed back exactly where they came from.
The easiest way is unscrew one and place it right beside the hole it came from like shown in the picture. Be extremely careful undoing and putting back the ribbon cable. Watch this video for a view of how it works.
Follow along ONLY until If you have the repair kit for full repair watch it all. I talk about that in step The good news is you are so close to getting the game out! You will notice there is lots of computer chips and wires hanging off the drive which I just left on mine. Just follow the video below as he makes it simple, but the next two paragraphs are important. You do not want to screw this up and have to take everything apart again to fix your mistakes like what happened to me….
The screws are different lengths and colors and must be put back the same way. You should be laying the screws right beside the hole it came out of like I mentioned to do at the start. All the screws are very small and need the Philips 00 Screwdriver. I physically bent the rear piece of metal up so it can clear the case and lift the entire top off. The guy in the video did not. He also shows removing a piece of tape and unplugging a wire.
I personally would recommend not unplugging it, but be very careful you do not break the wire. Of course if you do not remove the wire you can not fully take the top off as it will still be attached. Continue to follow what he shows in the video until you have access to the game.
Congratulations you got the game out! Pay close attention to how he reset the drive to accept disk. I did not watch this video when I did mine and of course did not reset it to accept disks. Do not be me. Fix it properly the first time. I actually took it all apart again and did it the proper way and a game went inside, but for some reason got caught trying to eject.
Yes, meaning I had to take it apart again! At least they learned from their mistakes as Slims and Super Slims will not have this problem. The Slim has an easy eject screw at the bottom and the Super Slim the entire top slides open easily making game removal much simpler. Once everything is reset and game is out I was super excited to see all my hard work pay off and you should be too.
If you put the screws on the ground like I suggested this should be super easy. Just connect the cables and align, then screw everything back together. Only problem I faced when putting it back together was the very last screw first one that unlocks everything under the tape because it is recessed it would not line up with the hole. It was just too deep for me to drop it and screw back. I just left mine undone. Just be aware of this in the future if you are moving the system around.
This is where we apply heat to bring the dead PS3 back to life! Go get the hair dryer ready. The whole point of this is number one to get your game saves off. To do this you will need to eventually plug the system back into the wall and into the TV. If you wish to keep your PS3 operating for the long run, you need to replace the thermal paste inside of the console. For this I recommend picking up Artic Silver 5 Thermal Paste, a microfiber cloth, and cleaning alcohol.
The primary known cause for this issue is heating issue. Your system might be over heating because of the dusty fan that needs cleaning. Other reasons leading to a RLOD are dying disk drive or failing power supply.
