How to Take Apart and Clean a PS3
Alright, first things first, unplug your PS3 and remove all the cables. Get yourself a small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws on the back panel. Carefully lift off the top cover. Keep an eye on those tiny screws; they love to disappear! Once you're in, use compressed air to blow out any dust and a soft brush for stubborn bits. Just don't touch the internal components with your hands, and reassemble it carefully.

Taking apart a PS3 is like a fun puzzle. Unscrew the back screws, pop the cover off, and you'll see the insides. Use some compressed air and a soft brush to clean the dust out. Remember to be gentle and take your time putting it back together!
I took apart my PS3 last weekend. You'll need a Torx screwdriver for the screws under the rubber feet and a Phillips for the rest. Lift off the top and carefully disconnect the Blu-ray drive. Once open, use compressed air and a soft brush. It鈥檚 a bit of a project, but totally doable!
If you're not comfortable taking it apart, just get a vacuum to suck the dust out of the vents. Does the trick for minor cleaning!
Honestly, just use compressed air on the vents. No need to take it apart unless absolutely necessary.
