all right today we're going to take apart the brand new Playstation 4 we're going to start with the hard drive if you've already seen the hard drive replacement you can just skip ahead to about the 1-minute mark in this video right now we're going to pop off the shiny plastic part you just take your hands and press down the plastic and then pull it away up and away from the actual PlayStation itself and the hard drive has the one Phillips head screw with the big one right there that you unscrew and then the hard drive itself can pop up and out away from the PlayStation I'll put a link in the video description below for bigger hard drives I believe and get a one terabyte drive now that will just pop in it doubles your space for screws around the outside get the hard drive out of the bracket then you can just take your new replacement hard drive and pop it back in line it up with the holes then you can screw those black screws back in again to the same spots now here is where you start to void the warranty on the ps4 there are the two stickers that come out and this is with one of the little Torx screwdriver heads you'll see what it looks like here in a second so I'm peeling off the void stickers and then there's two black tabs on the very end as well that you have to peel off then there's four screws holding down all the plastic together on the ps4s we're going to start with the top I'm just going to kind of lift up on one of the corners and then the whole plastic panel is going to lift up and away from the frame you can see the plastic panel there and then here's the power supply so there's three of those Torx screw heads that we were working on before and then there's two super long screws that go all the way down through the ps4 into the motherboard below so I'm going to take that out and show you what that looks like and there's this one on the other side as well and then that frees up the power supply so we can take it out right now I'm just kind of priming one of the corners loose start with this side over here to get it up and away and then you can just take the whole power supply and lift it up and out from the little slot that it's in there is a cable along that one side you'll see me show you right here and I kind of wiggled the connecting wire into the power supply and the connection didn't seem too strong so I didn't take it apart right there I actually flipped the power supply around and I released it from the the motherboard side I just used my little pry tool and kind of pried up on it so I didn't put any stress on the cables as I was pulling it away from the connector here you see the power supply I will put replacement parts in the video description below so if your ps4 stops working there's a good chance as the power supply here is the Bluetooth antenna so I'm going to pop that up and out of the grooves that it's and it's just little wire connector so it's kind of like a little Lego that just pops into place and then here is the rest of the antenna there's one screw head that holds the little metal bracket into place you can just take that pop it up and away pretty straightforward now we have the CD drive this little ribbon cable connector right here is pretty interesting actually you press down on the little metal head of the connector and then that releases the ribbon all together then there's three screws that you have to undo and then the connection to the power supply below same thing that the other power supply had just going to wiggle it loose then pop it out of the little grooves that it's in the hold the wires in place and then the whole Drive just comes up and away from the PlayStation 4 once again if your drive goes out or if it stops playing blu-rays there's a good chance the lasers fry it so I'll put a replacement parts in the video description below make your life a lousier and then this is super super important to make sure you take out the rest of this ribbon it's the same type of connector but the motherboard is not going to come free if you don't remove this ribbon cable now the underside of the PlayStation the two little red dots are two screws that you have to undo before the plastic comes apart now we have the plastic off and here are the diagram where the screws are the two green ones are the ones you already took apart to get the plastic undone the two red ones hold the he sink onto the motherboard and then the rest of the blue ones just hold that big metal plate in place here is the cable for the fan it's little power connector you just lift it up and away from the actual motherboard itself and the motherboard lifts up and then you pull it back and away from the front docks and there's the motherboard you can see the glue from the heatsink on there there's three screws here to get rid of this heat shield then you can see the heatsink right there like I said if you are planning on taking it apart I would have extra glue the heatsink paste a thermal paste to put between the processor and the heatsink wait before you put it together again that way you don't overheat your ps4 there's this little metal bracket you have to lift up and away and then there's two screws holding on the fan so if you need to clean out your fan this is the very last step in the whole process and there is the ps4 fan anyway if you have any questions make sure
