Attention - Change the thermal paste on your 60gb ps3 or it will explode

[ameratsu]

here's some cheap, decent looking, non-conductive thermal paste on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154003&cm_re=thermal_paste-_-35-154-003-_-Product

here are the videos I used for disassembly/assembly (skip the first 10 seconds of each video)

Note: in video 3 he takes off the motherboard cage. You can do this, but it's not necessary in order to change the thermal paste. Skip that part if you want and go right to the part where he removes old paste and applies new stuff.

Note 2: Be careful with the blue HDD screw! This is very important as it is easy to strip. Make sure you use the proper size screwdriver and use adequate pressure to get it out.
