At least I can fight
I ALSO FOUND THIS WAS THE CASE WHEN I TOOK MY OWN PS3 APART ASWELL
so i found this by chance long story cut short my neighbour smashed his ps3 up and i took it off him to salvage the bluray drive from it(IT STILL WORKS)
then i noticed that when u take the ps3 apart that the hole were the security screw is that the screw doesnt actually come out the other end
also the security screw DOESNT screw into anything it SITS in the gap on the POWER PACK
once again sony cutting corners you viod your warranty when u dont have to touch the sticker
so therefore it is possible to open up the ps3 without peeling the sticker off and voiding your warranty
ive undone 2 ps3's without undoing the security screw
video shows how to slide the thin plastic top off (NOTE SECURITY SCREW IS UNTOUCHED)

nice find, but unfortunately, it does not affect me bcus my 3 year warranty ran out in early 2010, then got ylod and my 90 day warranty ran out. 
with this way you can fix it without voiding warranty then if u decide u want to sell it then u can without question
if the seal isnt broken on the void sticker the shop wont no any different

If you read the book which came with the PS3 it tells you this
Does not tell you how to not void it and open it
Does not tell you how to not void it and open it

It isn't I've stripped my Slim Ps3 down 3 times. Under the sticker is one screw that needs to be undone otherwise the lid won't lift up. But you only need to open a Ps3 if you know what your doing so you wouldn't need warranty in the first place.
