picked up more stuff yesterday at the dump. (the PS3 actually works! Didn't try the disc tray but the HDD works fine) It's a G01, so no native PS2 ):

Actually psyched about the Psyclone AV switcher. That powers on, too! Both need a bit of cleaning.

Not pictured: An XBOX 360 power cable???

Sorry. I fell off the face of the earth. but luckily I took pix.

at this point, things got real. I took a break to dust off all the components outside and accidentally dropped one of the fan screws. it took 5 minutes to find but I got it. we good. onto the final boss

was fighting with the housing a bit, unsure of why it's not opening. it's stuck around the right side of the console. yes, the warranty sticker is removed as is the screw underneath.

turns out I forgot one of the tall screws. thanks ifixit for overlooking that one. the thing separated nicely
