Steps 1 through 6 are just about removing the stand, correct? Storing the screw and all that is just about being neat and tidy?

Flip the device over so that the USB and ethernet ports are on the left side from your perspective.
-
Lift up the corner of the faceplate to unclip it from the case.
-
-

While lifting up the corner, slide the faceplate towards the bottom of the device.
-
Remove the right faceplate.
I recommend doing both covers at this time, to avoid hassle later. Skip to step 38, then come back here
Why remove the other cover? You only need to remove the cover shown in order to access the disc drive.

Use a TR8 Torx security driver to remove the four screws securing the fan shroud to the case:
-
Two 23.3 mm-long screws
-
One 11.4 mm-long screw
-
One 31 mm-long screw
My ps5 seems to have tiny black caps over each screw. My spudger can’t get them off I see no other way to move forward besides breaking the shroud
wrong side, take the cover off the other side
The 31 mm-long screw just wont budge! do I turn that one counter-clockwise or clockwise? someone please help!
counter clockwise to remove
I damaged the 23.3mm on the bottom right next to fan connector. Is there any replacements? Can't seem to find any 23.3mm t8 screw anywhere online
I used a t8 for all of them and had no problem removing, except for that bottom right screw
Is there any replacement screws you can buy for the fan? I slightly damage 23.3mm screw.
My PS5 has TX8 (security Torx bit) screws on my fan shroud and all the case screws. A normal Torx driver won’t work you need the one with the hole in the middle of the bit driver.
Why does my ps5 have 3 different screws? 2 are the same then 2 other ones? Why?
Does anyone know the thread pitch of these screws? I just bought a used PS5 and the screws are missing. The fan has been glued in. Can't make this up.....
Ci sono viti di ricambio?
Dove posso trovarle?
Ho guardato dappertutto e non se ne trovano
Sind mit den Massen die dicke oder die Länge gemeint
Thickness I'm sure
9h works also or I HAD a mix up
Thickness I'm sure

Lift the fan shroud straight up to remove it.

Insert the flat end of a spudger beneath the black wire cover and into the gap above the fan wires.

Use the spudger to peel up the wire cover until you can grip it with your fingers.
Some PS5's have a smaller sticky cover instead , remove it in this step

Use your fingers to peel off the wire cover.

Use your fingers to grip the edges of the fan cable connector, and pull up to disconnect it from the motherboard.
Normally I don't have an issue with this type of connector, but I couldn't get it out with my fingers. I ended up using two plastic pry tools, one on each side of the connector, like a claw game.
So weird you just posted this yesterday. I am doing this right now and your comment helped so much, I couldn’t get mine out at all before I tried that.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 17 mm-long SSD cover screw.
-
-

Use your finger to slide the SSD cover towards the top of the device to unclip it from the case.

It is unnecessary to remove the SSD screw and cover for power supply replacement.
The only thing you can do without removing the ssd cover and screw is remove the fan.

Use your fingers to grip the edges of the optical drive cable connector, and pull up to disconnect it from the motherboard.
For some PS5's, the optical drive connector is still covered in this step. Proceed up to step 22, then you will be able to access these connecters. The connectors will be running across the heatsink visible from step 24.

Found it a lot easier to remove and refit this one after removing the laser deck. Simply unhook from the opposite side and thread through the bottom shell, otherwise it felt like it would end up damaged.
