These are oil painting palette knives. You can get inexpensive sets on eBay.

https://www.amazon.com/Palette-Painting-Stainless-Knives-Carrying/dp/B00LGZMUOC/ref=sr_1_6

Sets come in various sizes, but you probably want a selection of knives with more small heads than large ones. The different shapes can be helpful for avoiding solder points and small electronic bits on the mobo.


As for getting through the glue, like ayunatsume, I didn't use a heat gun. I did use an ordinary hair dryer (just let it blow on the lid for 5 minutes) and held the blade in a candle flame before each cut, but I can't really say either was effective. Some people recommend running the PS3 for 20-30 minutes first so that the hot chips themselves soften the glue (I suppose you could half-disassemble it or something).


Finding the exact gap for the glue is definitely tricky, but once you start, you'll zero in on it each time. Search on "delid ps3" on YouTube for videos. Definitely watch a few to get multiple perspectives.


ayunatsume has excellent useful ideas. Thread (or fishing line, perhaps) to cut the lid glue is very interesting! And adding pressure to the clamps with bits of popsicle stick is like the penny or copper shim technique (some people say using copper helps with heat dispersion).

This has probably been answered but I can't seem to find it. I have one of the first gen PS3s with the PS2 hardware emulation, CECHA01 model. It's got CFW on it but I haven't touched it since right after Thanksgiving 2017 when it became exploitable.

Say I wanted to upgrade the 60 GB drive to something a little more comfortable, like a 1TB. (1TB is still the limit, right?) I need to aim for 2.5" and under 9mm tall? Or is it 9.5mm or under? Will a WD Black work, or should I aim for a Seagate?

What you have my Guys is the black screen of death. it is an easy fix.

What you will need is a PC, a usb, screw driver and a 2.5 inch sata hard drive(here are some cheap ones)

​

the problem you encounter is becuase the ps3 canrt boot properly. (I am also asuming you downloaded the cex to dex from overflow cfw, i did this myself)

here is a quick tutorial on how to fix the problem. DO EVERYTHING OR IT WILL NOT WORK!!!!!

  1. Switch off your ps3 (i mean turn the power off fully not just put into standby)

  2. Remove the ps3 hard drive from the system the remove it from the Tray. ( If you dont know how to then search for a tutorial on youtbube, it is very quick)

  3. Put your new 2.5 inch sata Hard drive into the tray and be sure to screw everything in place.

  4. Put all of the components back into the ps3 exactly as you found them.

    Now head over to your ps3.

  5. Go and download the latest OFW from ps3 website ( i dont know if it works with Cfw straight away but trust me dont take the risk.)

  6. Plug in your USB and format it to FAT32. (You will lose everything on the usb so back it up if it is important)

  7. put the update on the usb ( you should know what format to put it in considering you had a jailbroken ps3 but if u dont, PS3>UPDATE>PS3UPDAT.pup)

  8. Plug in your USB to the furthest right port on the PS3. then boot into safe mode (once again if you dont know search for a tutorial on YouTube, it is very easy)

  9. Click on system update and flollow the instructiion on the screen.

    When the ps3 boots up the things should be fixed. you will lose the games downloaded onto your ps3 but you can easily redownload then.

    Hope this helps! ;)

I've had the best luck with 3tb Seagate Expansion drives.

I have 3 of these connected up to my PS3. All my games are in ISO format and the drives formatted to NTFS. When they were fat32 they take forever to load the game list etc.

btw when I was testing only 64k clusters worked with fat32.

My drives are all mbr primary single partion. They both worked fat32 and ntfs. NTFS just preformed better. Multiman cannot read 3tb ntfs drives though. Iris based managers have no problem though.

If I'm remembering correctly from my hard drive hunt a little over a year ago, the maximum size of hard drive you can install on a PS3 is 1.5TB. For some reason the 2TB hard drives don't work. You need something that is 9.5mm or thinner as well. This is a good option for the 1TB (which is what I went with) and this is a good option for the 1.5TB. And seeing as how the 1.5TB is only $7 more expensive.....

I just bought this Western Digital 500GB 2.5" Playstation 3/Playstation 4 Hard Drive (PS3 Fat, PS3 Slim, PS3 Super Slim, PS4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TIY4IHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_cnj5CbP947PVQ yesterday and works great in my fat ps3 no issues. Just make sure you have a spare thumb drive with psupdate on it, or you'll get an error

It's not what you're asking but in my case I solved with this
