Do you guys sell the stand
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.
-
-
-
Insert the flat end of a spudger underneath the grille and into the gap above the fan.
-
Lift up with the spudger to pry the grille away from the case.
-
-
-
Lift the grille away from the case to remove it.
During reassembling:
There is a little flat pin in each end, they need to go into the console

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.

-
-
Lift the fan up and out of the case to remove it.
-
-
-
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.
-
Remove the SSD cover.
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.

Use a pair of tweezers to grip the white Wi-Fi antenna wire at its metal base, as close to the connector as possible.
-
Lift the wire's connector straight up to disconnect it from the motherboard.
-
Repeat for the black Wi-Fi antenna wire.
Black and white antennas are reversed, black should go on RB and white on RW
It looks like some models of PS5 lack these antenna wires. My PS5 only has Power Supply antennas, which are in the next step.
Can confirm, on a PS5 I got for repair, there are only antenna connectors that are in the next step. The antenna connectors of this step are physically absent from the PCB. There are only 2 coaxial connectors in total, not 4. From the image it seems the PCB routing is slightly different (my board with missing connectors seems to use PCB traces as antennae given trace shapes)

Use a T8 Torx driver to remove the forty-two screws securing the top shield plate:
-
Forty-one 7.3 mm-long screws
-
One 43.2 mm-long screw
Your image already has the long black screw removed from the left hand side half way down.
You should add a step for this screw for people re-assembling.
I second this! I had an extra long screw when I was done, it was likely this. This is one of the screws that reach down to the PSU
I believe that this was an unintentional oversight in the guide, as I cannot find any guide that mentions removing this screw. I have made an edit to this guide to clarify that final screw must also be removed, hoping it is approved and published!
I can’t see how removing 41 of these 7.3mm screws to replace the power supply. None of them hold the power supply to the board. Waste of time.
The reason why is because you need to remove the top shield plate to get to the usb ribbon cable.
Some PS5's have a removable cover for the USB board (step 36). If this is your situation, then I think removing this entire plate is unnecessary for removing the PSU (80% sure, I haven't exactly tried.)

-
Lift the top shield plate off of the motherboard to remove it.
Unnecessary step to replace power supply.
Debatable, removing the top shield makes it much more comfortable to remove the USB ribbon cable.
I would say it's required since there's no way to get to the metal release otherwise
The grey rubber came off in some spots, what do I use to replace it? It attaches to cylinder things (opposite side of power supply) which then attaches to a copper bus.
That's thermal paste, it's recommended to keep it all on there. If you lost some paste, check on Google for the proper thermal paste for the PS5
-
-
-
Use your finger to depress the metal locking tab on the USB board cable's board connector.
-
With the metal tab depressed, place the flat end of a spudger against the insulating foam pad on the ribbon cable and pull it directly away from the connector to disconnect it.
What happens if this cable disconnects from the front?
-
-
-
Lift up the corner of the faceplate with the PlayStation logo to unclip it from the case.
Wrong picture: the other face of Playstation has already been removed at this point, while in the picture it looks as if we have just started disassembly. This note applies to all following steps.
-
-
-
While lifting up the corner, slide the faceplate towards the bottom of the device.
-
Remove the left faceplate.
-
-
-
Use a Torx T8 driver to remove the two 29.4 mm-long screws securing the case to the motherboard and heat sink assembly.
These screws are T9 security, or, if they are designed to be T8 security, they also accommodate T9 bits and you should definitely use T9. Source: Myself after stripping a highly torqued bolt 🤦♂️
-
-
-
Lift the front edge of the case off of the motherboard and heat sink assembly.
-
With the front edge elevated, push the case back, away from the motherboard and heat sink assembly, to maneuver the charging port out of its slot in the case.
-
Remove the case.
-
-
-
Use a finger to hold the rear shield plate down against the work surface.
-
Grip the power supply and lift it straight up to disconnect it from the motherboard.
If your new power supply does not come with the aerial wires, remove from the old PSU and transfer to the new. Route them in the same manner to the old, and then replace. You may get some very weird behaviour if you fit without the aerial wires in place.
Ask me how I know. 😡

Is there any place to buy a replacement power supply?
Where can I get the power supply unit which is Model ADP-400DR ? Please help me
egamephone have ps5 power supply replacement
So I started with a dead PS5. I had another power supply laying about but from a different revision. I replaced the power supply with said other power supply that works. When I put it back together still no power. Does each revision used a different power supply or would it be the same?
i’m having the same problem, did you ever get it to work?

The SMPS Controller IC "DAP053T" is just a relabeld TEA2016AAT/1J.
If the PSU doesn´t work anymore you can try to replace this chip.
You really should include the APU pressure clamp in these instructions for people following it for reassembly.
Especially since it's under the plate with 41 screws.
Did the power supply replacement and still couldn’t turn on. The only positive that came out of this was the fact it was warm to the touch when plugged in.
did you get it working having same issue
Where can I get a rear shield plate becasue mine is broken from where I mount the screw to have the ps5 stand vertical
Mijn ps5 gaat niet meer aan heb hem gekocht op 21 mei 2023 heb hem afgesloten en de volgende dag wil ik hem weer aan zetten en hij gaat niet meer aan hoor wel piep maar start niet meer op en gaat ook niet meer aan
Performed the repair PS still does not turn on. No lights nothing. Three beeps when plugged in and thats it.

Genuinely why is this guide telling users to unscrew 41 unrelated screws for a power supply? The only screw required to remove at this step is the black 43mm screw on the bottom.
The PS5 opens like a book and the power supply can be swapped quickly. There is no reason to remove the plate for a power supply and no reason to suggest that users waste this much time for replacing one. Please revise this step.
I hope. I am very afraid of encountering such a problem.
my power supply didn't come with wires do u know how attach it to the new power supply?
Just missed a step. take the plate with wires off old power supply and put it on the one. The new power supplies that come from ifixit doesn't include it. Otherwise, great tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you for the detailed instructions. It works perfectly for me. My power supply was destroyed by Pharaoh ants (Monomorium pharaonis). My PS5 is working again.
