Place the PlayStation 3 Slim horizontally on a table with the logo facing you upside down and on the left side. Pull off the squared rubber caps from the top, bottom, left and right sides, using your fingers.
Remove the screws that are in the depressions that were covered by the caps, using a Phillips screwdriver.
Run the tip of a flat-edged jeweler's screwdriver along the seam between the top of the case closest to you and the ledge beneath it.
Swing the rectangular rubber block at the center edge at the top, closest to you, to the right to reveal a screw. Remove the screw with the Phillips screwdriver.
Pull the rectangular plate off the left front of the ledge, using your fingers. Place the plate aside. Pull the hard drive out of the slot that is now revealed. Place the drive aside.
Place the PS3 Slim on the table with the logo right side up and on the right. Grip the far edge of the top case. Pull the edge up and towards you in one motion to remove the top from the PS3 Slim.
You can completely disassemble a PS3 with just 3 tools: a regular sized philips head screwdriver, a smaller philips head screwdriver (something you would find in a eye glasses repair kit), a T-10 torx or small flat head screwdriver is a good substitute.
