PS3 Disassembly
After the 7 screws are removed, gently lift up the back corners of the top half of the console. There are
2 small clips near the back you may need to undo with a small screw driver. Now the top of the console
should just lift off (with a bit of gentle force) and you will see the guts of the PS3.
