PlayStation 3 Slim Top Cover Replacement

Step 1 Top Cover

• Turn the PS3 over and lay it on its backside.
• Carefully peel the warranty sticker up off the lower case to reveal a hidden screw cover.
• To avoid activating the VOID that may come up, heat the sticker carefully to remove and replace it cleanly.
Step 2



• Use the flat end of a metal spudger to pry up the seven screw covers around the edge of the lower case.
Step 3
• Remove the seven 37 mm Phillips screws securing the top cover to the lower case.
Step 4
• Remove the four 13.3 mm T8 security Torx screws beneath the Blu-ray drive opening. (Some models may only have three screws)
Step 5
• Lift the top cover from its rear edge and rotate it toward the front of the PS3.
• Lift the top cover off the PS3.
