Playstation 3 Super Slim Teardown and thermal replacement in 2023

In todays video i have my first ever look at a PS3 Super Slim, which as it name suggest is quite small compared to the launch PS3!

Anyway im opening this up to replace the thermal paste and give it a dust clean.. spoiler, the paste was ok and was pretty darn dust free inside
