Giriş
This is a teardown of an original launch 60GB PlayStation 3 system. One of the best units out there that had backwards compatibility and the card readers. Sadly this unit has a GPU a problem so it's broken.
Edit: Nickname fix, formerly Karasumachitose. Apologies to any inconvenience this causes.

There she is, one of the two original PS3 models available at launch (60GB).
-
It's got PS2/PS1 backwards compatibility and a multi-card reader. The current PS3 Slim doesn't have the card reader. The other launch model lacked the card reader and WiFi (20GB).

Use the Torx Screwdriver (T8 or T10) to remove the torx screw from the space behind the rubber foot.
Mine was a T10
this screw came out using a phillips #1or#2 with no issue.

Place PlayStation face up such that "PlayStation 3" is oriented so you can read it.
-
Place your palm on the PlayStation 3 logo and slide the plastic front cover towards you and off of the outer plastic shell. Set it aside.

-
Remove the metal receiver that held the torx screw you just removed.
Some PlayStation3 gen 1 consoles do not have a removable receiver. If yours does not, just skip this step.

Remove the 9 screws from the outer plastic shell using a #2 Philips driver.

6 large screws

1 medium screw

2 small screws

The annotation on the photo in Step 9 is inaccurate. The blue circle should be aqua/cyan coloured, while the two cyan/aqua coloured circles should be blue. No biggie, great disassembly otherwise.
I double checked it, it should be correct. There is only one medium screw and two small screws.
If you leave the two small screws until after you remove the top (they aren't attached) it will make things easier because the card readers will stay down and there will be no ribbon cable to deal with when removing the top.
I have found the same. It can be a mess otherwise.

Remove the cables that attach the power supply to the main board.
-
Remove the AC connector from the power supply.
Power connector on my 20gig launch unit was epoxied. If this is the case with yours be VERY careful. Mine popped off the board, now searching for a fix.

READ THIS ENTIRE STEP BEFORE PROCEEDING. Lift the player up slowly to expose the folded ribbon cable beneath it.
-
Remove that ribbon cable from the main board and set the drive/cable aside.
Remove the ribbon cable from the drive end, not the motherboard end. The clip holding the ribbon cable to the motherboard is difficult to reattach and will often snap. It does make it a bit more difficult to disassemble but far safer.
I had to use two spudgers to pry the clip UP on the motherboard to release the cable.
If you do break the clip on the motherboard side, just clip the ends off the broken clip and, using the thin side, push it in the remaining motherboard recess so it keeps the ribbon connection in place. There are multiple youtube vids if you need additional info. Had to do mine and worked like a charm.

Remove the 9 screws from the main body.
-
5 Medium Philips #2 Screws
-
2 Small Philips #1 Screws
-
1 Ground Philips Screw with Washer
-
1 Bolt Philips Screw (under AC cord)

On the top of the mainboard, EVENLY remove the four large Philips #2 screws holding the heat sink.
-
Remove the plates and the screws from the main board.
I broke off one of these screws, 'Philips #2 screw' has not gotten me a correct screw from google.
Any clue what exact screw this would be?
PS
I have an idea how I could remove the broken screw, but any suggestions?
Search on Ebay under PS3 Screw there are some on there with clamps.

Flip the main board over.

Lift (or pry with fingers) the heat sink straight off of the mainboard and processors.
Looks to me if your goal is to replace the thermal paste, this is as far as you need to go. Apply the new paste and begin reassembly. Here's a video showing how to apply the paste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyXLu1Ms-...
Wich is the best way to apply the paste and what brand do you reccomend?
Just use a small dot, not bigger than a pea right in the middle. Let the heatsink spread it out.
***DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU DO HAVE THERMAL PASTE!!!***
If the thermal paste is disturbed you MUST remove all the old paste and apply new (unless you are okay with destroying your processors). To remove the old paste, cotton swabs work best. Once you have removed as much as you can, dampen a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and carefully clean the processor surface AND the heat sink surface using small circular motions, being careful to not allow any alcohol to contact the main board. Do this until ALL traces of the old compound are COMPLETELY removed. Once removed, allow a short amount of time for the alcohol to completely evaporate. Once the alcohol is evaporated, place a SMALL amount of new compound (I use Arctic Silver) directly onto the processor (about the size of a pea OR LESS). Using a straight edge (such as a credit or ID card) carefully spread the compound into an even, thin layer which completely covers the surface of the processor.
This is not as hard as it sounds. Just take your time and get it as even as you can. And gaps in the paste will result in “hot spots”, which can easily damage your processor (this is why just “letting the heat sink spread it out” is such a bad idea). The layer should only be about 1/64” (0.016”) to 1/32” (0.031”) thick. For reference, a common sheet of paper is about 0.004” thick, so roughly 4 to 8 sheets of paper thick. Do remember that this is NOT as critical as I am making it out to be. It is simply a reference for “a thin layer of compound”. Don’t overthink it.
Now that your fresh compound has been applied, reinstall the CLEAN heat sink as evenly and gently as possible. Install the fasteners and tighten, tightening and alternating n SMALL INCREMENTS. The idea here is to tighten the heat sink in as even a fashion as possible. This helps to ensure the most even distribution of thermal compound as possible.
I have repaired many Xbox 360s and PS3s in my time, and have never had this method fail, and as en electrical engineer would encourage anyone to follow these procedures when replacing any thermal compounds.

Check out all the chips with heatspreaders on this thing.
-
There's the Emotion Engine chip and Graphics Synthesis chip that allows the sweet backwards compatibility.

IBM Cell processor... This CPU has 9 cores, 10 threads and it runs @ 3.2GHz .

ii got a broken ps3 from my step dad, it turns on but theres no picture. I've taken it apart 3 times now and couldnt figure out how to get it fully apart. I've put everything back together and it does the same thing. So i didnt mess it up and more than it was. lol. From what i was told it was on top of a tv and a dog caught the cord and pulled it down. It slammed down on the back of the system and hasnt been able to show video and sound. Like i've said, i've tryed to mess with it but i know nothing about this stuff. Any ideas as to what could be broken? The port itself is cracked, but i've tryed HDMI and that doesnt work either. Any advice is helpful. Thank you.
lol couple years later, no all u have to do is switch out the fan inside your ps3 :) it happen to mine or buy a new ps3 and switch hard drives :)
Can i use any other screwdriver besides a torx?
I juss want mine fixed... it keeps saying data corrupted... then it loads to 100 thrn screen goes blank
I love the way you post a warning as to how fragile the ribbon cable is and then say, "remove ribbon cable" without any detail as to how to release it. Thanks. Now my PS3 is trash.
Instructions not clear enough. Stuck my finger in a light socket.
10/10, would electrocute self again.
watch ifixit's video on youtube, it helps a lot, these pictures help out more after you see the video...
Can you fix it again after splitting it? Bc. My Ps can't turn on, only in 1 second and then it turns it self off. So i told it too my dad, and he said "can you get in to the computer itself, without breaking it and then fix it again, after that" and i aswered "i don't know, i'll go chek" and here i am, knowing how to split it but not fixing it again. Uhh so please answer me... Can it be fixed again after splitting it??!
