• Before starting your repair:
• Shut down your PlayStation and unplug all cables and accessories.
• Remove any stands supporting your console and lay it down so the right side is facing up.

Step 2 Remove the console covers




• Each console cover is secured with hooks along the rear edge and clips along the front edge.
• To remove a cover, firmly pull up the front edge to release the clips.
• You'll hear distinct "pops" as the clips release.
• Remove the cover.

Step 3
• Use the same process to remove the three remaining covers.
• To reinstall a cover, place the hooks into their cutouts along the rear edge and firmly press the front edge of the cover into place to re‑engage the clips.
