Page 10 PS3 Disassembly 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.

Page 19 PS3 Disassembly 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.
Page 20 PS3 Disassembly 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!

Page 31 PS3 Controller Disassembly Now detach the battery by pulling it straight out. Take off the piece of plastic that is between the r1 and r2 buttons and the one between the l1 and l2 buttons. Now in order to get the main board off you must unscrew the screw on the board. Once that's out you should be able to lift it out of there.

Page 35 From Many PS3 owners, who had their console connected via an HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) cable to a Westinghouse LCD—ours is the LVM-37w3—reported the same problem.
Page 36: The Dirt On Blu-Ray Lens (And How To Clean It
Xbox 360 is a prime example, " says Jim. "But it'll be interesting to see how the PS3 is treated by the public when in use and to see what errors are thrown up by the Blu-ray drives. As I said, the tolerances in the Blu-ray system unlike HD DVD, don’t leave much room for 'user error.'"...

Page 38 Once the Screw has been removed it should look like the picture below. Now face the ps3 towards you and slide the top of the ps3 to the left this may take some force if it your first time opening the console. When the case has slid as far left as it will go lift the case upwards as shown in the picture below.
Page 39 The dirt on Blu-ray lens (and how to clean it) After the top is removed you will be faced with yet another cover to remove this cover start by removing the 7 long screw circled in red in the picture below using a Phillips head screw driver. Now undo the two small clips at the back of the console using a small screw driver then lift the cover off the console as shown in the picture below this may take a bit of gentle force.
Page 40 The dirt on Blu-ray lens (and how to clean it) While taking the cover off you will see a connector as shown in the picture below. To remove the silver connector use a Small flathead screw driver as shown in the picture below to help you wedge it out.

When they are unscrewed, take the 2 screws out along with the metal piece that is with them.

Page 45: Ps3 Owners Report Blu-Ray Problems After 1.5 Upgrade
An unusually high number of reports of intermittent playback freezes during Blu-ray movies and some games have been posted to Sony's PlayStation 3 forum, as well as to the AVS Forum and other sources, after PS3 owners upgraded to version 1.5 of the system firmware.
Page 46 So for now (until something better comes along), the best "fix" is to reconnect your wireless controllers and attach your PS3 to your Internet router with a direct Ethernet cable. Since, the problem is mainly with Wi-Fi users. This is fixing about 65% of most people's issues.
Page 47: Ps3 Bluetooth Controller Issues
I am wireless, and generally only when I am playing online. PC-Doc touches on the same issue in his PS3 rant, suggesting it is a problem with the Bluetooth screwing up, which makes complete sense. Will I have to just buy a really long USB cable like he did? The answer is YES! (For now this is a widely used solution, until a better fix is in place.

Page 52: How To Change From Hdmi > Composite Easier
Easier Just made this easy tutorial because when I play my ps3 in HD, and the next day I take it to a standard tv, I would have to go back to the HDTV, plug in the HDMI, go to settings, set it to composite input and then go back to the standard and then I could play.

Page 66 PS3 is the unit’s built-in Blu-ray Disc (BD) movie playback. In fact, for some folks this is the primary reason for purchasing the system – the PS3 is not only one of the best BD players currently available on the market, but it costs barely half as much as the next cheapest standalone model.
Page 67 So not only does this Bluetooth-only solution make it absolutely impossible to integrate that optional BD remote – and thus control over the PS3 – into any universal remote control, but it also makes it impossible for that Bluetooth remote to perform any regular home theater functions such as turning on the television or adjusting the volume.
Page 68 To assemble this contraption, plug the IR receiver into the PS2 controller end of the adapter cable, and then plug the USB end of the adapter into one of the PS3’s front mounted USB ports. The end result may look a little bit ungainly, but it’s better than nothing! Here’s what works:...
Page 69 So, that’s 14 functional buttons. Using a universal remote control this way works fairly well, although the PS3 is a little less quick to respond to repeated commands from the adapter, so you can’t press “up- up-up” as rapidly as with the Bluetooth controller. The 35 other commands on the Sony PS2 DVD remote control? They don’t do anything.

Page 72 PS3 HDD Replacement Mini-Guide As soon as you boot up the console, the PS3 will detect that the HDD is not formatted, and it will ask you if you would like to format. You must select yes twice, because they want you to be sure that you realize you will be destroying all the data.

To answer your question before you ask, the only thing that gets erased is game saves.

Page 77 PS3 Controller Light Mod here's a picture of the other side. now plug the battery back in and test to see if it works. if everything works then great if not check your soldering points to make sure everything is connected and make sure the led is on in the right direction.

Page 81 PS360: Microsoft Controller, Meet Sony Controller An early test of the guts. I’ve rewired many a Sony controller in the past, but it’s always good to check if things are working. Of course this time I’ll have to deal with the “analog” L2 and R2 buttons of the Sixaxis…...

As you can see I’ve used standard-issue Radio Shack perfboard for both the action buttons and the left analog stick. OK the Sixaxis is a little different, it uses slightly smaller analog sticks than the Dual Shock or Xbox 360.

Page 85 PS360: Microsoft Controller, Meet Sony Controller A closer view of the buttons. Unlike Sony’s Sixaxis I took the effort to use a COLOR “PS” logo, thank you very much. The action buttons “more or less” fit the holes in the 360 controller, a little shaving on their sides sealed the deal.

Page 212 It is connected by connecting an HDMI to DVI cable to the HDMI port on your PS3 and the DVI port on your TV. No sound is included in the DVI connection. If you are buying a short cable, it does not matter if you buy an expensive one or a cheap one.
Page 213 Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 (3:720p). Only the lowest of resolutions are supported: 1:480i or 6:576i. Stereo audio is supported via the white and red plugs. It is connected by a cable from the PS3 AV Multi-Out port to your TVs S-Video port. PlayStation 2 AV Multi-Out cables will also work.
Page 214 The basic tool for testing video modes is ps3videomode. You need to be running in text mode when you use this, as the Linux graphics system is unable to respond properly to the way that the PS3 changes video modes. Control-Alt-F1 will switch Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 to use the first text console, where you need to log in as root before you can use the ps3videomode tool.
Page 215 Underneath the bar of stars will be the video mode currently being shown. With no arguments, ps3_video_test will scan through all the basic video modes. As a safety feature, ps3_video_test will return to the video mode the PS3 was in before it started.

YDL by default runs @ 720p resolution, even during installation. So, it's better to install it on a PS3 that is hooked to a HDTV or a Monitor. There is a low resolution mode of install, but it requires Linux command line configuration. I don't recommend it for novice users, and the attached guide doesn't cover it.

Page 287 There is, however, light at the end of this tunnel. I'll tell you how my TV's set up to quickly repair the damaged graphics. All right, so currently my PS3 is connected to my TV via the HDMI and those cruddy composite cables -- the yellow, white, and red. Why both? Because my TV has channels dedicated to both.
Page 288 If I can still enjoy the game play, I don't mind having a jaggy sword, or funny-looking handrails. Perhaps Sony will strive to fix this in the future, but for now, keep your PS2 hooked up if it gets too unbearable.

AT ALL TIMES. Mains power is dangerous! Dismantle the Playstation 3 console and follow this tutorial at your own risk! This tutorial will teach you how to play PS2 and PS1 game backups on your PS3 without any technical installations.

Page 291 PS3 SWAP to play PS2 and PSX Games! Now face the ps3 towards you and slide the top of the ps3 to the left this may take some force if it your first time opening the console. When the case has slid as far left as it will go lift the case upwards as shown in the picture below.
Page 292 PS3 SWAP to play PS2 and PSX Games! Now undo the two small clips at the back of the console using a small screw driver then lift the cover off the console as shown in the picture below this may take a bit of gentle force.
Page 293 To remove the silver connector use a Small flathead screw driver as shown in the picture below to help you wedge it out. You will now be able to see the ps3 insides as shown in the picture below. www.sharatronica.com...
Page 294 PS3 SWAP to play PS2 and PSX Games! 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.
Page 295 PS3 SWAP to play PS2 and PSX Games! There are 4 screws on the bottom of the drive and I think 2 on top after this you just pull off the metal shield and it will expose the top with a white cog that comes right off. Once you have the cog off pick up on that top piece and just lay it to the left side now you will see the drive exposed like you do on my video.

Page 297 This is a fairly easy process, the most trouble i had was trying to figure out where to put the switch. There is no room to work with.. I ended up taking out my card reader on my PS3 because I never use it and just mounted the switch there.
Page 298 How to play/install to play PS2 backups on PS3 Solder a wire to pin 4, and a BLACK wire to pin 1. This will be your power wires that run to your Blu-ray load/unload motor. I'd say make the length about a foot just to be safe. You can cut off what you don't need later.
Page 299 How to play/install to play PS2 backups on PS3 That's the hard part if you can believe it. Now you gotta bust open the PS3. Very easy to do and no cutting or breaking involved. (If you need help with opening the up to the BluRay drive go here.) Take the one bolt out on the side and slide the top off.
Page 300 How to play/install to play PS2 backups on PS3 A small plug-in on the left side Note: Your main goal is to get to some small screws on the bottom so that you can remove the metal cover. You may choose not to unplug anything. That's up to you.
Page 301 How to play/install to play PS2 backups on PS3 Unscrew the plastic top and take that off. This will allow you to see much more of the drive on the inside. The plastic piece I'm pointing to in the picture above needs to come off. That will allow us to see the load/unload motor.
Page 302 I then flip the switch back up and insert my backup and turn the switch off. The whole time you do the swap, the PS3 will still say you have a game inserted. So if you choose to try this, you don't need anything special.

The Ethernet cable supplied with your PS3 connects you directly to the Internet provided you have a service provider. You can also connect wirelessly via a Wi-Fi USB dongle.
Page 306 AV Multi Out For Composite, HD Ready, S-Video or Scart connections. The PS3 comes with a standard A/V composite cable but to get the most benefit from PS3's 1080p output you will need a HDMI cable and a HDTV that supports 1080p.
Page 307 PSP via the Remote Play option this is arguably worth the extra £100. The high price might hurt Sony in the short term but there's no doubt that the raw hardware will stand the test of time and give you value for money.
Page 308 PS3 Features Sixaxis controller In terms of outward design the PS3 controller is almost identical to its predecessor but features finer analogue sensitivity and wireless connectivity. The name is derived from its ability to detect six degrees of motion which has already been implemented in games such as Tony Hawk's Project 8 and the forthcoming Lair.
