Playstation 3 Console – Broken Apart
Playstation 3 Unit Dissected and PS3 Hard-Drive upgraded to 120 GB
Being that the units are already popping up in Japan , it should come as little surprise that the PlayStation 3 has been cracked open and laid bare for all to see. Even better, however, is the little trick to dismount the drive sled and replace the 20 or 60GB 1.8-inch drive with another more capacious model (as we heard you would be able to). One adventurous modder upped his unit to 120GB; see, maybe that $500 model can be of some use to us after all.

I have a playstation 3 (CECHG01) 40GB model I upgraded the playstation to a 320gb hard drive and recently i opened up the playstation to clean the large ported fan but some how there was a short in one of the USB ports that melted my USB soders all the way around on my motherboard to my hard drive reader plugin and to all my video and audio outputs. I want to fix the problem myself just by replacing the motherboard and the built in processors. What advice would one give me about reparing it. I no longer have it under warranty.
