- [* green] You only need a Phillips #1 screwdriver and a Spudger to take the console completely apart.
+ [* green] The console is made up of few components, and each one is straightforward to remove and replace.
+ [* green] Only a Phillips screwdriver and a Spudger are needed for complete disassembly.
[* green] The optical drive is perhaps the easiest component to remove—a good sign knowing that these were prone to fail on older models.
- [* yellow] Because the PlayStation has been around the block several times, repair and service information is widely available, although likely much to Sony's chagrin.
