    • Remove the fan wire from its plug on the top metal casing.

    • When removing the wire, do not pull from the wire. Instead, pull from the white plastic male connecter.

    • Remove the motherboard from the top metal casing. Lift from the side with the two USB plugs to avoid damaging the four back ports.

    • There is a thermal compound between the top metal casing and the motherboard in the center, so you may have to apply more force than usual. Do not force the two pieces apart, but slowly apply more and more pressure until the adhesive gives.

    • During reassembly, remember to replace the old thermal compound, as it cannot be reused.

Thanks for this fan tutorial I have not been able to find any on YouTube about taking apart the fan for cleaning the heat sync's and fan blades it self. So thank you so very much.

Wish you didn't have to go to that much trouble to replace the fan in the version of the PlayStation 3.
