Works and not that hard to do!!! I have the jew model 40gig so the inside is different and the battery is in different spot but i just unplugged it plugged back in reassemble ps3 and good to go. When you turn it back on it will ask you to enter the current time and date and after that your logged in!!! And surprisingly alot of people online.
