PS3 Super Slim - Full Disassembly & Service

Here, I unwittingly explore the weird construction that is the PS3 Super Slim.
From the hard-to-remove PSU, to the large heatsink/frame, this model has a good few design quirks that left me more confused than before picking up my screwdrivers.


Tools used -
Phillips screwdriver
Torx Security (T8) screwdriver
Prying tool (a guitar pick can be used as well)
Microfibre cloth
Brake cleaner (I recommend 100% isopropyl alcohol)
Tissues or something to remove thermal compound
Thermal compound (I used some Cooler Master stuff)
