incomplete guide, what replacement? the last step is taking the cover off but what about the disk drive?
Yeah, where's the ending to this?
To remove the complete drive you have to remove the motherboard. with the motherboard removed some of the above steps may not be necessary.
This guide is useful if you just need to remove disc or clean laser.
when replacing do you have to swap a board like the PS4’s of the past?
Nope, on the ps4 slim the optical drive is not married to the motherboard so any drive as long is the same model will work with any motherboard
