Remove the top metal shield plate

Remove the top metal shield plate
With the colling system enclosure removed, gently separate the metal shielding from the motherboard. Because the motherboard is mounted upside down in the PS3 case, the removing the the top metal shield reveals the bottom of the motherboard. Be careful with lifting the shield. The metal is thin and easily bent.
