More of a maintenence question, but I've had a CFW PS3 for the better part of a few months now. It's an exploitable 2001X Slim model. Everythings setup and working alright. I'll have to do some dedicated temp tests later but nothing seems unusual, though the only thing I can think of for maintenance is thermal replacements given the original seller didn't do that.

I'm not confident in tearing the system apart even just to repaste, nevermind deliding if that's necessary for the earlier slims. Not sure if there's anyone who's recommended or established to be pretty good at it for servicing, online searches didn't really bring me anything conclusive.
 
Slims don't need deliding.

Also, Sony started using a different, stronger glue for the CELL. There are reports here on the forums from people that attempted to do a delid on Slim models, breaking the console in the process.
 
I have a Cech-2504A Slim model Date:0D and with basic electronic skills i opened , clean from dust and change thermal paste once per year, i have it in me for about 5 years, and it still working as it should,also i bought ps4 slim version unfortunately not exploitable version 13.02 firmware, same with him open , change thermal paste, close , and at the and i also have ps5 and after 4 years i finally get courage to open it to clean it from dust and everything was ok , no damage at all , but in all process you only need to be careful when you unplug , plug ribbon cable and all other connectors that are attached to motherboard that mean you need to have steady hands ,and im from Macedonia here you have plenty ps3 for sell from 30-50 euros , so if i do some damage i always can buy another one . It is up to you if you are able to replace the console for cheap if you ask me its worth the risk :)
