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!
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

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
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
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!

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.

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.

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?
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
Thanks so much, your video helped me a lot! Recently got a used PS3 and needed to give it a good clean!
good im glad that it helped you out :P thank you for the positive feedback
Great job. Especially putting the Blu-Ray drive back in. This video was better than the last 3 I found.

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.
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 ?
Nagyon jó, érthető, követhető videó, ennek alapján szedtem szét és raktam össze a készüléket!👍
Gratulálok!🤘
Köszönöm!😀
Szívesen! örülök, hogy probléma nélkül frissíthettél😊Köszönjük a visszajelzést! ha szeretnéd támogatni a csatornát lájkolhatod vagy SUB vagy mindkettő :P
Ha a jövőben bármilyen kérdése vagy kérése van, kérdezzen bizalommal.
I just wanna say hands down you have the best how-to tech retro console repair and maintenance videos on CZcams. 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
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.
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.
This video HELPED me fix my wife's PS3....i was missing that spring on the white arm on the drive section. I would have never known had I not seen this video. Thank you!

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

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.

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.
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 for the feed back "_
@@uFixTek Is there any notable difference in disassembly on a CECH-2101B model?
@@dylans.6400 not really there are only two types of dvd drive the one in this video, and the one on my other video:

the rest are 99% the same ,

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

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.
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
Followed this video and actually got my PS3 to not shut itself down. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks!

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.

awesome deed for helping your friend my friend :)
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.
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.

much appreciated, if you need any help when servicing let me know.
Brilliant video very detailed of how to service the ps3 slim. Looking forward for my ps3 to be delivered (2nd hand) so I will need to open it and clean it.

much appreciated.
Sooo!
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.
Great job,great video.
Than you for the feedback and your support to the channel with a sub :)
@@uFixTek I want to ask you something...do you need to let your PS3 rest a bit before turning on after applying the thermal paste?...if yes how long?
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

Great helpful guide thank you uFixTek :). Just replaced thermal paste on a used PS3 slim :). Disk drive cable was a pain tho lol
You bet, thank you! for the feedback and your support to the channel by SUB :P
if you got any question or request feel free to ask, sorry for the late reply i was out of Town.
@@uFixTek Definitely will do! My used PS3 slim works and looks like brand new! Also upgraded with 1TB HDD and jailbreak :)
awesome, enjoy your console :P
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.

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
Very helpfull guide still in 2020 :)
Glad it helped! and i have make a new video for the same one in 4k it will be up this weekend .
thank you for your support to the channel :)
Great video Man thanks a lot , I used Artic Mx-4 and my ps3 slim 2004b is now quiet like new
Glad I could help, Thank you for the feedback
uFixTek by any chance , did you make a repaste video for the original PS4? If not u should do it , ur videos are very good for beginners like me
oki i will add the ps4 original to my list :P thanks
Very nice guide, bdrom drive is the trickiest, I would alternate screws on the cpu/gpu pressure plates, lovely ps3 slim 👍
Thank you for your feedback and your support to the channel :P
@@uFixTek Subscribed and thanks for this comprehensive guide, excellent with tips 👌
@@Thunder_Light207 your welcome my friend anytime you got questions feel free to reach out to me.
Very thanks
Most welcome :)
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.

Regarding your feedback, as i have mentioned this screw on on the 1st comments, this video was one of my 1st videos and back then it was hard to record and read scripts and do the service, and yes the screw goes at the back of the dvd drive 🍻

ah almost forgot, will removing the hdd in order to clean it and the area its place make me have to do reformat or anything else?
absolutely not, power off and open up and clean, and when you power back on it will be all the way you had it before powering off.
@@uFixTek much appreciated, and one more que ; how to determined that the thermal paste need to be renew?
Excellente video. Many thanks. Liked and suscribed. One question, what thermal paste would you recommend to stay away. I've heard that some can melt and destroy the motherboard, is that true?
lol Jesus who said some can melt and destroy i been in service for over 15 years not even a single motherboard failure because of paste melting lol , all you need to know regarding thermal paste is to use google and or get the recommended brands, dont go with china crap paste or some pure silver ash. go with artic silver 5 , artic mx 4, or one of the best pastes is amzn.to/32KLvWs (Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut) this is one of the top of the line, if you want to go better you have to go Liquid metal and that is only for gpus.
Its nice job satisfied,
Makes easy,

Awesome video my dude 🙌
Wow the WiFi antenna cables reminds me of a DS antenna set up and the ribbon cable from the cd rom reminds me of a GBA SP ribbon for the screen and how annoying it is to plug it back in but the PS3 seems easier which I could be wrong
Thank you for the feedback and your support to the channel, its very easy its just like pop in and done,
also i have made a 4k video of the ps3 if you like to watch :P
