Paso 6

Usa pinzas para quitar con cuidado las cubiertas de plástico de los tornillos en cada esquina, exponiendo dos tornillos más de la caja.

What If my PS4 doesn't have the two screws on the side

Michael Jimenez -

I should imagine that plastic cover will come off?

How did you go?

Paso 7

Quita los cuatro tornillos de seguridad Torx de 7.2 mm de la parte trasera de la PS4.

I only have two screws, those in the middle of the console.

Oscar Martinez -

Have you removed the plastic covers mentioned in the previous step? That will expose the other two screws.

Sam Omiotek -

same, here. there are only the middle screws, no covers or screws on the sides. and it sits pretty tight

Johannes Müller -

turns out 12XX models are different. Look at this for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpr0z0ve...

Johannes Müller -

Yes there is slight variations between the first models, and the second gen and on models. I have an original and only has the two screws in the middle, removal of the cover remains the same.

Mary Westphal -

Paso 8

Usa tus pulgares para levantar la carcasa inferior y sacarla de la PS4.
La carcasa inferior se mantiene en su lugar mediante clips de plástico. Es posible que debas usar mucha fuerza para liberar la caja inferior.

sur la version 2 de l ps4 fat il n'y a que les 2 vis du milieu. Comment défaire le boîtier ?

nlvolle -

Paso 9

Usa un par de pinzas para sacar el cable de la fuente de alimentación y desconecta la fuente de alimentación de la placa madre.
Si notas el conector atascado, utiliza un spudger para hacer palanca suavemente para sacarlo.

This part looks dangerous. There should be a flag/warning not to destroy that cable yes?

Shawn -

I second Shawn's comment. That cable seems to be very fragile, and one of the wires snapped on mine while removing the cable. It wouldn't have bothered me so much, if it wasn't a pain to find a replacement for it.

Matt Gaia -

The tweezers used here, do not cut it. Not enough grip.

I had to use a set of needle nose pliers to remove this.

Power supply connection stuck. I don't want to damage it

Nick Alex -

What you need to do here is be patient. Do not pull the wires. Get some fine nosed pliers, wiggle the white connector from left to right in small movements and edge it out slowly. You can also use your nails one finger at each edge of the white connector to do this.

David Harkness -

Its really hard but i managed it with both of the tweezers/pincers at the same time

1. Keep in mind to pull not too hard on the wires and make step 2 and 3 simultaneously!

2. the straigt and wider tweezer to pull the white connector itself
(top and bottom grip)
3. the small and angled tweezer to pull the wires carefully
(as shown on the picture above)

dinkelberg01 -

Another option, is to remove the screws holding it down, leave the cable in place and lift it out carefully, revealing the other end of the connection. The hidden side of the connection wire is easier to get a handle on.

Mary Westphal -

I concur with David, some patience and a lot of wiggling did it for me despite the stubbornness of the connection. Does seem like this one varies a lot in how difficult it is to remove.

Paso 10

Remueve tres tornillos de seguridad Torx de 9.7 mm.
Remueve dos tornillos Philips de 41mm y quita los seguros.

Paso 11

Levanta la fuente dude poder afuera del PS4.
La fuente de poder esta sujetada firmemente en su lugar por clavijas en el lado izquierdo. Puede que tome multiples intentos para removerla.
Durante el re-ensamble, asegurate que las clavijas están alineadas, después presiona la fuente de poder en su lugar.

How do you remove the battery wires? I’ve personally been wiggling it to no effect, is there a certain way i have to pull it out, and should i pull it out of the power supply or the console?

Tubby -

Retirar en vertical, derecho hacia arriba. Sino puedes doblar uno de los tornillos largos

FabianCampos -

Paso 12

Usa la punta de un spudger para desconectar el cable de antena de la placa madre.

dumb question but I’m very new to this. when reconnecting the wifi antenna, does it just click back on? I'm hesitant to try this procedure if I need to solder anything since I have zero experience.

cliodhna -

Yup! Hold it in place and press straight down on top of it with your finger or a spudger. If you have any other cable/connector questions see this guide.

Sam Omiotek - 04/10/21

Heads up, you might have a black philips screw above the power connector. It fixes the motherboard and EMI shield on if you're dealing with an 1100 model.

Dzmitry -

Paso 13

Usa un par de pinzas en tus dedos para tomar el cable de antena y alejarlo delas guías del cable.

Paso 14

Usa un par de pinzas o tus dedos para pasar el cable de antena por debajo del cable del disco óptico.

Paso 15

Remueve el tornillos Torx security de 9.7 mm que sujetan la antena.

This does not work on the newer 12 series

raseemhassan123 -

Thank you! I thought I was insane. I've been trying to figure out where the hell this thing goes and the seat for it is like an inch from the corner. It's driving me mental trying to figure out how to put this back on

Leo Halliwell -

Paso 16

Remueve la antena Wi-Fi.

When I’m connected to wifi it does good for awhile then it disconnects from the wifi and I can’t use the controller. I have to turn the game off and disconnect power source. Do you think the wifi antenna could be the problem or doin have another situation.

Jay Pax -

I would check the antenna connection to the motherboard, if it's properly seated I don't think it's the problem.

Paso 17

Usa tu uña para presionar la palanca metálica de liberación del cable plano en la parte superior de la unidad óptica.
Usa tus dedos o un par de pinzas para desconectar el cable de cinta tirando de la lengüeta negra.
No es necesario que presiones la palanca metálica cuando vuelvas a insertar el cable de cinta. Oirás un clic una vez que esté completamente insertado.

Please note that the younger generations of PS4 have a different setup of connectors to the driver, its sometimes 3 of these as presented but with different sizes and no pad to press down. However, dont be alarmed, just use the pair of tweezers and gently pull them off the connectors of the motherboard. Grab on tight on the blue area of the ribbon cable and pull gently! They tend to sit tight so take some time and patience on this.

Mathias Kopp -

Paso 18

Usa tu uña para presionar la palanca metálica de liberación para el cable de cinta conectado a la placa madre.
Usa tus dedos o un par de pinzas para desconectar el cable plano tirando de la lengüeta negra.
Deja el cable plano a un lado para volver a montarlo.
No es necesario que presiones la palanca metálica cuando vuelvas a insertar el cable plano. Escucharás un clic una vez que esté completamente insertado.

bei mir ist das leider defekt Plastikteil abgebrochen wie kann ich das ersetzen

kevin pospiech -

Is it possible to buy the white port for ps4? My one seems to be damaged so won't hold the ribbon cable.

dorszes -

This may be a difficult fix, as the white port seems to be integrated into the motherboard. You could try simply holding the ribbon cable down with electrical tape, if it's just a fitting issue?

Paso 19

Usa tus dedos o un par de pinzas para desconectar el cable del disco óptico de la placa madre.

Paso 20

Usa tus dedos o un par de pinzas para remover el cable del disco óptico de las guías de cable que lo mantienen en su lugar.

Paso 21

Remueve los cuatro tornillos que sujetan el disco óptico.
Tres tornillos Torx de 9.7 mm
Un tornillo Phillips de 6.2 mm

Paso 22

Levanta el disco óptico directamente de la PS4.

Paso 23

Remueve los dos tornillos Torx de 9.7 mm que sujetan la caja superior.

Paso 24

Levanta la caja superior y vuelve a quitarla de la PS4.
La caja superior está sujeta por las lengüetas de plástico en la parte delantera. Necesitarás una fuerza significativa para separarlas.

“Significant force” is a bit of an understatement. It’s like it’s superglued together..

Wouter Rietberg - 18/02/21

You absolutely should not need a lot of force for this. In the picture above, press upward using the left thumb from under the outer lip of the cover. You may need to pull it slightly toward you as well. Once that half is lifted, the right-hand side is still firmly attached. Keeping the left-hand side of the top separated, flip the unit over. Along the right-hand side, press the outside lip with your thumb about 2 thumb-widths down from the corner. There is a tab here and once released, the cover comes off easily and off in the back. Otherwise, you’ll be placing stress vertically (and rotationally) on the first tab on the side.

I appreciate this feedback – thank you. This sounds like a safer method. I’ll test it on our guide unit and update the procedure.

Sam Omiotek -

THIS SET OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOU, IS ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL.

I got this cover off quite easily. Still some resistance, but I didn't need this significant force at all.

THANK YOU!!

There is a piece of plastic underneath the casing here. The PS4 I worked on got so hot on the inside that part of the plastic started to melt and warped some inside the metal plate underneath. This made it tricky to open the case, but by using spacers I managed to get it off.

Kerstin -

I found an easier method for myself is to have the console upright and pointed away from myself. From this position, wrap your fingers over the top of the cover, hooking it in its front with the last digits of each finger. This allows you to press with your palm into the top of the console and pry in an upward/outward motion. This feels safer as it took much less force to disengage the problematic clip.

Callie -

Paso 25

Remueve los doce tornillos Torx de 9.7 mm que sujetan el escudo EMI superior.

In my PS4, there is a small black Philips screw behind where the power lead connects to the motherboard. That screw connects the EMI shield to the inner metal where the power supply sits.

Wouter Rietberg - 18/02/21

I had exactly the same thing, and mine is a fairly old model of PS4. Confused me for a moment until I spotted it.

Tom G -

Can confirm this.

This screw was on mine. To anyone reading this, flip the PS4 over and look where the pain in the ass power supply connector is.

Black screw right there.

If you have that screw of course. :)

Paso 26

Este paso te muestra cómo desenroscar correctamente la placa de presión.
Retira los dos tornillos Phillips de 15.6 mm.
Desenrosca gradualmente la placa de presión girando cada tornillo media vuelta a la vez.
Alterna entre los dos tornillos para mantener una presión uniforme en la placa de presión.
No desenrosques un lado completamente antes de desenroscar el otro lado o podrá dañar el procesador.

why does my PS4 have some metal thing attaching the plate to the metal beneath it?

Beetroot - 06/02/21

My PS4 also has 2 metal rings around each screw hole and 4 metal pieces 2 on each side closing in the same shape as the pressure plate as you take the pressure plate off?

Geoff King - 08/03/21

How strong do you tighten the screws when re-applying the plate?

To the max, or stop one to two turns before?

Andreas Raum -

I've tightened mine until the screws became taut and I've not had any stability issues.

Paso 27

Remueve la placa de presión.

Paso 28

Remueve el escudo superior EMI.

This is the 2nd PS4 I have disassembled and on both units I have found there is a black Phillips screw securing the upper EMI shield. This should be mentioned in the teardown as the EMI shield cannot be removed completely without first removing this screw and you risk damaging the EMI shield in the process . To locate the screw turn the unit over and you will see a small black Phillips screw located near the power supply prongs. There will be a set of arrows pointing to the screw. Once you remove this screw then you can fully release the upper EMI shield.

Geoff King - 08/03/21

Ditto. This is my first time disassembling a PS4. EMI shield didn’t lift off easily on one corner. Noticed the black Phillips screw holding it in place. I scrolled up in the tutorial to see if I missed it. Easy enough.

Kwan Park Tom - 20/05/21

All the ps4's I opened had this one Phillips screw. And I've cleaned/repaired ~12 units. So I think it's safe to assume that (almost) every one of them have it.

Manoel -

Paso 29

Inserta el extremo plano de un spudger entre el cable del ventilador y la placa madre.
Gira el spudger para levantar el conector y desconectarlo de la placa madre.

Paso 30

Agarra el borde de la placa madre en la parte delantera de la PS4.
Levanta la placa madre hasta que los puertos USB despejen la caja de la PS4.

Paso 31

Levanta la placa madre de la PS4.
Aplica una nueva capa de pasta térmica al procesador antes de instalar una placa madre usando esta guía.
Si no se instala correctamente la nueva pasta térmica, la PS4 se sobrecalentará.
Inserta primero el lado de E/S de la placa madre y luego baja el otro lado.

Paso 32

Remueve los tres tornillos Phillips 6.2 mm del escudo EMI inferior.

Paso 33

Levanta el escudo EMI inferior y disipador de calor directamente del PS4.

Paso 34

Remueve los dos tornillos Phillips de 6.2 mm del ventilador.

The screw located to the far left in the picture above is in a different place in my PS4. In mine it is located in the hole at the very top right hand corner of the fan right next the the black plastic post that secures it in place. The other screw is located in the same position as shown above.

Geoff King - 08/03/21

Agree. Screw on top left is wrong. That screw is for EMI plate. The right screw is top right.

Munir Ib -

Hi Munir, thanks for pointing this out, are you doing this repair on a PS4 Pro or PS4 Slim?

Sam Omiotek -

Same comment about the location of the screw that shows up on the bottom left. You can see it's in the wrong place because it isn't there when lifting the EMI shield in the second picture of step 33, and the EMI shield has an arrow on it pointing to the actual screw location (barely visible in the photos, but visible).

Model is CUH-1004A

Bastien Nocera -

It’s the screw to the top right and the screw pictured on the left comes down through the lower EMI shield

Christopher DeSousa -

Paso 35

Levanta el ventilador directamente de la carcasa de la PS4.

When installing the new fan, the holes may be slightly out-of-spec. If the fan is not completely seated, I suggest making a minor adjustment to the hole that is off with a Dremel bit. (the ball-like one worked for me). Tried to use a regular drill bit and power drill but couldn’t cut it. Dremel bit had it expanded perfectly in seconds. In my case, the errant hole was the one that fits into a plastic post, closest to the corner and at the bottom of the picture above.

Paso 36

Usa un par de pinzas para remover con cuidado la tira de relleno de espuma del ventilador.
Instala la tira de relleno de espuma en el ventilador nuevo en el mismo lugar.

what happen if i don’t get all of them on there correctly?

cutyoffapercy -

what happen if i don’t get all of them on there right?

cutyoffapercy -

The padding strip was too degraded to remove intact. Instead, I purchased a rectangular felt strip from the hardware store. I inked the existing pad and used it as a “stamp” on the peel-away part of the felt pad and cut with scissors. Placed new curved strip onto new fan and trimmed height with X-acto blade.

Paso 37

Remueve las piezas de relleno de espuma del ventilador.
Usa un secador de pelo o pistola de calor para ablandar el adhesivo si es necesario.
Instálalas en el nuevo ventilador en los mismos lugares, usando el adhesivo dejado en el viejo ventilador como referencia.

My original fan did not have any pads to transfer. Used foam weather stripping instead.
