Always appreciate your videos as you clearly explain and point out the gotchas one needs to look out for.

Thanks Greg, glad it's helpful! Good to see you are still out there.

This replacement will require a TR9 Torx security bit/driver and a Phillips screwdriver. I also found that tweezers came in useful as the ribbon cables can be tricky to manipulate.

Ok so this should also fix the fact my disc drive won't read blu-rays, or games. Just buy a new disc drive, install the og daughterboard into it, and then good to go? The disc drive still reads dvds though. Why is that?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

This was a thing with the PS4 also. The PS5 uses two different lasers. One is for DVDs/standard def and one for Blue Rays/game discs.

Great video. But how do i tell which version is my PS5 on?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

There is a model number printed on the area where the stand is installed.

@GoCellPhoneRepair If my model is CFI1118A, what version is mine?

Whoever you are buying from should mention supported models in their product description.
