– Unplug all the cables from the console and gently flip it over to uncover its base. Let’s get started on this journey together!

Step 2

Heads up: One of the feet is hiding under the sticker shown in the photo. Peeling off this sticker will void any warranty with Sony, so proceed with care!

– Let’s get started! First, find the six feet at the base of your unit. Use a spudger to carefully pry them off, and voilà! You’ll reveal the screws underneath.
