PS3 Disassembly
Taking the PS3 apart is a long and involved process, so make sure you have at least a couple of hours
to do this if it’s the first time. Also make sure you have proper lighting and the right tools.
You will need:
● Torx screwdriver
● Phillips head screw driver
● Small flathead screw driver (for removing the rubber foot)
● Somewhere with plenty of space that is well lit and that wont build up static electricity. (Mainly
anywhere but carpet)
So, here we have a brand spanking new PS3…..all ready to be taken part…..
On the left side of the console you will see a few rubber feet. The first screw to be removed is
underneath the rubber foot circled in red in the pic below. The foot can be pried out with a small screw
driver. Then underneath is a Torx security screw. You will either need a Torx screwdriver, or a flat
head screwdriver that will fit in the screw.
