Step 1
Don’t worry, peeling off that warranty sticker won’t throw your warranty out the window!
– Find that plastic warranty sticker chillin’ next to the trio of ports on the console’s side.
– Gently peel off the warranty sticker with a spudger or any similar tool.
Step 2
– Grab your trusty TR8 security Torx screwdriver and twist that exposed 5.0mm screw counter-clockwise to remove it. You’ve got this!
Step 3
You might need to use a bit of muscle to get this open, and when that bottom cover pops off, you’ll hear a satisfying click!
– Flip the Playstation 4 Slim so it’s upside down and the screw you just took out is facing you.
– Use your fingers to gently pry up the two corners in front of you.
– Slide the bottom cover towards the back and lift it off. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 4
To open this up, you might need to give it a little push, and brace yourself for a satisfyingly loud click as the top cover comes off.
– Position your Playstation 4 Slim with the PS logo facing upwards and the side featuring ‘SONY’ and ‘PS4’ towards you.
– Gently lift the two corners closest to you using your fingers.
– Slide off the top cover towards the back corners and lift it up to remove.
Step 5
– Grab your trusty T8 screwdriver and let’s get to work! Carefully unscrew and take out the two screws—31.0mm on the left and 24.0mm on the right. Remember, it’s all about that counter-clockwise motion!
– Now, pick up your Phillips #1 screwdriver and tackle that 3.0mm screw. Just like before, give it a nice counter-clockwise twist to remove it. You’ve got this!
