    • Disconnect the DC-In and Blu-ray power cables from the motherboard.

    • Pull the cables straight upward to lift the connectors up and out of their sockets on the motherboard.

    • Pull the fan cables straight up to lift the fan connector up and out of its socket on the motherboard.

    You have to be very very careful on this step as the connector is very fragile. One wrong move and you can end up with a ripped off connector which wont be repairable.

    Source: Followed this guide and ripped off the connector from my PS3

    I’ve broken the solder on the fan conn. Any help?

    Brian DiGiaimo -

    I think I can solder it

    Brian DiGiaimo -

    I have also ripped off the connector and only realized when I wanted to put together.

    ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED ELECTRICIANS!

    It is not impossible to clean the removed connector from the panel parts and then glue the connector back on the panel. It depends how much connection is left on the board (you might able to clean a bit of green carefully to increase connection size) with a bit of experience you can solder it back/together again. The power and ground needs better connection since it needs to able to carry the current. The RPM signal has the least connection size on this side of the board but it needs only a bit of connection.

    Other possibility to bring from the board other side the 3 fan connection points with some tiny cables but that is more labour intensive and you might need to cut a bit from the metal panel to make space of the cables.

    Anyway it is a doable job for an experienced repair person.

    • Remove the following nine screws holding the motherboard assembly together:

    • Four 14.8 mm shouldered Phillips

    • Five 9.5 mm Phillips

    The PH#1 screwdriver from iFixit's "Manta" driver bit set worked fine for me

    Nicholas -

    The screws are held on too tightly

    The 4 black heatsink screws were easy to remove, but the 5 silver 9.5mm screws were a real pain. I had to carefully apply significant leverage to the top shield and rotate counter-clockwise, then clockwise, and repeat until they come loose. You really have to break them out of the threads holding them in.

    • Remove the two heat sink clamps from the bottom of the motherboard assembly.

    • If necessary, gently pry the motherboard off the top shield near the heat sink and its shroud.

    • Gently press the board away from the top shield assembly near the fan connector and the corner of the board near the wireless sockets.

    Had some trouble with this part. The thermal paste on mine was cold and very dry. Gave a loud POP when the first one came loose. The second one frightened me even more lol. And this was after removing the fan first and using a hairdryer on the top side of the heatsink, applying scattered heat to the front and back of the fins. Doubt I unseated the CPU and GPU... But we'll see when I get this monstrosity pieced back together!

    • Be careful not to damage the sockets as you rotate the top shield assembly away from the motherboard.
