    • Separate cables, unscrew the screw and remove the Blu Ray drive.

    • Depending on the model of your PS3 Slim, the number of cables to be removed may vary between 2 and 4. If your model has more than one ribbon cable, remove the drive very carefully, as a fourth ribbon cable may be hidden underneath.

    • Disassemble the upper metal shield by first unscrewing the 3 Phillips screws.

    • On the 2-cables model, you'll need to unscrew an additional 2 small Phillips screws, located on the underside of the drive. While you're at it, unscrew the 2 other Phillips screws at the bottom of the shield. (Their presence does not prevent removal of the upper metal shield, but removing them will be useful later).
