I woke up this morning and thought to myself, “what if I tried to take apart my PS4 one more time,” and that’s exactly what I did today. After two days of failed attempts, I’m excited to say that I was finally able to take apart my playstation. I was once again looking up videos on how to do it when I came across another video of a guy taking it off from the bottom. This time, the guy focused on the bottom sides, which I hadn’t yet seen anyone do. When I tried it, it worked perfectly. I unscrewed the bolts in the back and I took my prying tool and pried off the sides. The bottom came right out and from there I was able to have access to the entire playstation. Just like with the PSP, there were a lot of ribbon cables and sensitive wires that I had to be careful with or else I could damage them. I followed the video and switched between other ones to make sure I disassembled it properly. When it finally got to the part where I had to take off the top cover, I had better access to it since the bottom was already taken care of. After some force and more prying tools, I finally got it off and noticed that there wasn’t any adhesive keeping it on, but for some reason it was still really difficult for me to take it off the first few times I tried it. I followed the video exactly to the end, where I had to unscrew the fan. When I took it off, all that was left was the plastic skeleton that held all of the components together. I had completely disassembled my PS4. It was an amazing sight. My sister was next to me and she said how incredible it was that all of these components come together to create an endless world of entertainment for anyone, which I agreed with. It was insane getting to see each individual piece that contributes to my going about my day without getting bored. Putting it back together was somewhat smooth aside from the fact that when I was taking it off, I accidentally ended up stripping one of the screws which made it difficult to put back on. I had spent a lot of time trying to find the right screw for it too, so I don’t understand why it got stripped. I also thought I lost a screw at some point, but the problem was that I just didn’t label it correctly. I made sure to take post it notes, put the screws that I took out on top of them, and write something on the note so that I know where it went when I put it back together. I didn’t specify one screw enough, which is why I thought I lost it. Aside from those small problems, everything else went very well. I put the PS4 back the way it was, tested it, and everything worked perfectly.
