You're gonna need a Torx T8 and T10 screwdriver. Unscrew the bottom screws first, then slide off the top cover gently. Done it! But remember, you’re diving into the deep end of voiding warranties.

First, unplug your PS3 and remove any discs or memory cards. Then, flip it over and find the screws that secure the case. You'll need a Torx screwdriver to remove them. Carefully slide the top cover off, and you'll have access to the internal components. Be cautious; opening it may void your warranty!

I've done this a few times! Start by removing the warranty sticker and the screws under it. Then, carefully pry open the case. But be careful not to damage anything inside!

Opening a PS3 is risky. Why not just take it to a professional?
