Where do I place new thermal pads on the PS3 cechm03 model?

Hi all,

I’m trying to repair a PS3 (cechm03) and I’ve got so far as to replace the thermal pads. I’ve been following the YLOD guide but the board looks completely different to this model.

Could someone advise please?

Do you have pictures of the metal plates? These give a hint as to where the thermal pads go. There are points on the metal covers that touch certain chips via thermal pads.
