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)

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.
my bluray was ****ed in my cfw ps3 i undid all the screws and then took the void sticker off when i fix the bluray drive back together i cant sell the ps3 to a exchange shop because the void sticker has been removed
but u dont need to take the sticker off so if something like that happens then u can replace the bluray and are still able to trade your system in

i only took my ps3 apart but removed the sticker to replace the bluray drive
theres nothing else u can really fix by yourself without sending it back to sony if its software related
