PlayStation 3 Internal Hard Drive 40GB GameStop Refurbished by GameStop

Instructions:
1. Preparing the PS3
Check your PS3 for any data that you may want to back up before switching hard drives.
Back up your information. This can be done with a removable USB thumb drive, or a USB hard drive.
Power off the PS3.
Switch the main power switch on the PS3 to the "off" position. This will ensure that your PS3 is completely off.
Disconnect all of the wires from your PS3. This includes any A/V cords, power cord and Ethernet cord coming from the back of the console.

2. Removing the Old Hard Drive
Place the system on a hard surface so that the "HDD" panel is facing up. This is the compartment that the current hard drive is in.
Remove the "HDD" panel.
Remove the blue screw
Pull the hard drive and harness out of the side of the PS3. With the harness screw removed, the whole thing should slide right out.
Remove the two screws that hold the hard drive into the metal harness. Set the screws aside, as they will be required to put the new hard drive in.

3. Installing the New Hard Drive
Place your new hard drive into the metal harness and secure it into place with the two screws that you removed previously.
Place the hard drive and harness assembly into the hard drive compartment. The SATA plugs on the end of the new hard drive will plug right back into the PS3.
Screw the harness back into position with the blue screw.
Place the plastic HDD cover back onto the side of your PS3.
