PlayStation 3 Smart Plate Replacement

Step 1 Smart Plate



• Use the tip of a spudger to remove the black rubber screw cover from the side of the PS3.
• The screw cover may be underneath a warranty sticker. This sticker will change appearance, and show "VOID" after it has been removed.
Step 2

• Remove the single 8.5 mm T10 Security Torx screw from the smart plate.
Step 3
• Pull the smart plate toward the hard drive bay, then lift it off the body of the PS3.
Step 4
• Be sure to keep track of the small metal bracket loosely held in the top cover, if equipped.
