No it works fine , but when you take it off a little bit the glass is prety hot and the bottom of ps3 is hot itself , it`s not warm its hot , im just worried that the motherboard can melt inside ps3 .



its supposed to be really hot. the larger models were extremely hot also.

it should be fine then, they do get insanely hot and feel like they should be melting but it won't, you have nothing to worry about

check your power chord attached, is the white lettering facing up? When I first got my slim I had it backwards and my PS3 would constantly freeze and overheat :/

When you say extremely hot ones, did you mean skinny ones or the fat ones?

What'd you mean you had a few hot ones? We still talking PS3 right?
