Final Thoughts
-
The Sony PlayStation (SCPH-1000) earns an 8 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is easiest to repair):
-
The console is made up of few components, and each one is straightforward to remove and replace.
-
Only a Phillips screwdriver and a spudger are needed for complete disassembly.
-
The optical drive is one of the easiest components to remove—a good sign knowing these were prone to fail on older models.
-
Because the PlayStation has been around the block several times, repair and service information is widely available, although likely much to Sony's chagrin.
-
All of the I/O ports on the back of the console are soldered to the motherboard.
