How to Take Apart a PS3 Fat
First, you'll need a small Phillips screwdriver, a Torx T10 screwdriver, and a flathead screwdriver. Unplug everything and remove the hard drive cover. Then, unscrew the screws on the outer casing and carefully lift off the top cover. Remember to stay organized with your screws and parts!

Start by removing the hard drive cover and the blue screw underneath. Then, use a Torx T10 screwdriver to remove the screws around the case. Finally, use a flathead to pop the tabs and lift off the top cover. Voila!
Honestly, these things are beasts to take apart. Make sure you have your screwdrivers handy and follow a YouTube tutorial. You'll need patience and a steady hand!
I took apart my PS3 fat last weekend; it's like a Lego project for grown-ups. Unplug, unscrew, and take lots of pics to remember where everything goes. Have fun!
