    • The screw cover may be underneath a warranty sticker. This sticker will change appearance, and show "VOID" after it has been removed.

    • Be sure to keep track of the small metal bracket loosely held in the top cover, if equipped.

    That small metal bracket/socket set up looks completely different in the ps3 I'm working on. Model: CECHK01.

    Any suggestions?

Finde ich total einfach, sogar das tauschen der Wärmeleidpaste muss ich sagen. Leichter als bei der XBOX 360 aufjedenfall. Klar ich habe bestimmt schon 6-7 FatLady auseinander genommen und diese mit Frischer Wärmeleidpaste versorgt.
