Hey all, just added an extra usb port to my ps3 slim and want to share this tutorial of how I did it.

You will need the following:

A good solder gun.
A knife or blade
usb extension lead.

I wont bore anyone with how to open the ps3 slim.



This is the location of where I placed the usb port. Its a tight squeze so be sure to cut in the right place. Try it yourself for the best spot.

Using you knife/blade start cutting, once the hole for the usb is cut and your sure it fits you should have something like this (place the power supply for the PS3 back in its place to make sure it fits in):

OK now for the wiring, Its simple enough even for inexperienced people.
Get your usb extension and cut the male and off strip the wires back and your good to go.

On your ps3, At the existing usb ports you will have these small solder points, this is where you will be soldering.

Yes the ps3 changed colours. I sprayed it white while I had it taken apart.
Any questions I will try to help no problem!!

Thanks for reading

I'm doing this, now I can charge my second controller in the back for when my friend comes over, along with my headset, my main controller isn't wireless so

oh another thing is y does the ps3 slim have those posssible usb ports for anywayz?

This look pretty easy. Is the same method for a PS3 fat? Because I want to add some mores to my fat guy.

It's not even a risk lol, his board is clean, and the only risk is if you get solder all over the board, but worst case is you failed and lost a USB port lol

Couldn't you just buy a USB extension thing :L ?

nice man... but
you need a source unless you made it, with all teh pics and video =D

Or just use one of those USB splitters that you plug into an existing USB and get 3 to 7 more USB ports? :y:

Thats cool...

Instead of adding just one you should add an extensions with at least 2-3.
