I don’t know if this applies anywhere else in the world, but in the US warranty stickers are illegal. So here it’s mostly a scare tactic to prevent you from repairing the console yourself. So if you do happen to remove the warranty sticker, the warranty is still valid.

When you have an inside plate with various different screws, take a thin piece of card, do an approximate drawing of the plate you're removing then mark the screw positions and with each screw you take out, push it into the card in its location so you can replace them in the correct hole on reassembly. You will not remember where they go if there's more than about 3 types!

Looks like an absolute nightmare to repair. The motherboard in particular looks like replacing any chips will be akin to precision brain surgery, some of the traces are so fine and some of those chips are the tiniest I've seen. It's like it's been designed around the circle of chips to look cool rather than make sense.

[@dociebiemowie915]

It's interesting that the SSD on the XSX actually seems to be replaceable. I believe it is a big mistake on Sony's part to have soldered the SSD on the board, but that's me. Time will tell how well that foam around the processor holding the liquid metal in place will fare with the amount of heat these consoles generate. My guess is that there might be issues 3-4 years down the line with heavy usage. In my opinion it is also obvious where the two companies decided to spend most of their money when it comes to these consoles. Microsoft went for higher quality and more powerful internals and more innovation when it comes to cooling, allowing them in turn to keep the size of the console in check and keeping it shaped like something which does not stand out so much, at the expense of not putting in more innovation when it comes to the XSX controller. Sony went with a more traditional cooling design, also needing an even more massive heat sink cause of the higher clock speeds they run due to the SoC being inferior to the one in the XSX in terms of raw performance.

[@Albert-P27]

According to Austin Evans' teardown, it's not really necessary to remove the motherboard to get access to the heatsink and power supply. Removing the shield also removes the screws that anchor the entire assembly to the other side of the case, so you can lift the motherboard along with the heatsink and clean the dust and dirt without ruining the liquid metal seal, the same for the PSU. That would give it more points for repairability, and most of all, ease of maintenance.

[@taylorhansen9290]

Good to hear. Thanks.

[@C0smicr3aper]

There's also the vaccumable dust catchers. Theoretically if you cleaned it once every two weeks to once a month you would keep all but a small percentage of the dust out. Been doing it with my pro since I first got it and it barely gets loud, aside from some coil whine from a CPU inductor(known problem),for an almost 2 year old console.

[@johaine2977]

I expected this to be possible, as it's also much more efficient from a production point of view. Like this you can pre-assemble more modules and just place them in the case for final attachment. But obviously the dedicated holes for vacuuming are even better as you can even regulary clean the console (every 3-6 months) in a few minutes so only little dust builds up. (The air intake being a on the top of the console, so it won't suck in as much dust in the upright position, will also help)

[@mjc0961]

Yeah, except that wouldn't give it more points for reparability at all, because if you need to do a real repair and not just "clean the dust and dirt" it's still a huge pain in the arse. You confuse reparability with ease of maintenance. They aren't the same.

[@MrFastFox666]

If I recall correctly, there are holes under the top cover where you can shoot compressed air to clean the heatsink without having to completely disassemble the console. Also, I really wonder what kind of foam did Sony use around the SoC. It's clearly meant to prevent the liquid metal from leaking out and killing the system, which can happen. It'd be ideal for use on PCs as well.

Just to add, the expandable storage doesnt work just yet, Sony has to do an update for that and will announce whta m.2 SSD's will be supported (Why won't all m.2 SSD's be supported?!)

[@spezy93]

IIRC Mark Cerny said that any m.2 PCIe 4.0 drive that meets their speed requirements (~5GBps) will technically work with the PS5. Another thing to consider though is the physical size of the drive since according to him, there are no real height specifications for m.2, meaning you could end up buying a drive that doesn't fit (if the manufacturer puts some giant heatsink on it or something). So thats why they said to wait until they put out a list of confirmed compatible drives.

[@Tronicsfix]

Yes, this is true...and I agree...why not just support all m.2's. Could be just because they need to meet the speed threshold.

Keep in mind that the PS5's heatsink is designed to be cleanable without having to tear the device down. Just remove the outer shell, and you'll have a hole specifically intended for vacuum cleaning.

@@aGaranib I'm genuinely curious how effect those dust trap will actually be.

[@DarthYazzie]

Great video! you got the ultimate teardown videos. I was wonder how good the dust catcher hole was, could i vacuum it rather than doing a teardown to get to the hearsink?

[@paulcullum517]

I like this guy , he reminds me of one of those bobble head things when he looks into the camera 😁 he definitely knows his onions though.

[@wolfmohammadi9582]

thats the old steve glad you made this one")

[@Tronicsfix]

Of course!

[@DreDay]

I hope to got I never have to manually take this thing apart for repairs/cleaning

[@jordank2028]

Cleaning is easy, there are vacuum ports. A strong enough vacuum will get dust out. All you have to do is take the covers off. The fan is easy to get off too.

[@MrIsma75]

Great vids as always brother.

[@Tronicsfix]

Much appreciated

[@LudiMilesio21]

i just enjoy looking stuff getting apart.

Please do another video on replacing the liquid metal to thermal paste.I am really curious.

Me too!

Can I just say that the music selection for this video is sooooo great. It’s giving me “The never ending story” vibes. Yes, I’m that old. Lol

[@miguelroman4294]

Loved that movie! It's been over 35 year's since I last saw it. Gonna check Netflix to see if it's there.

[@Thatguy82719]

You have an amazing skill

Can I eat it?

[@jcon5977]

man the official ps5 teardown gave the impression that it would be much more user friendly.

[@Tronicsfix]

It's not that user friendly...imo

[@OG_ALviK]

@@Tronicsfix still more user friendly than any of the previews consoles... That's an upgrade in my book. Alao usually an easy to service device is often poorly optimized inside.

[@quiescent1530]

@@OG_ALviK no and no, he stated at the end that this is the least serviceable console including ps4 and just because something is complicated doesn't mean it's efficient

[@dhopper598]

@@quiescent1530 no, he said it was the least repairable between the series x, s, and ps5. nothing about the ps4.

[@OG_ALviK]

@@quiescent1530 Lmao, least serviceble console? Hes probably haven't worked on xbox 360 or ps3 fat. This ps5 teardawn is so easy compared to those. Also, i didn't say that more complicated = efficent. I said that if you make it more "user friendly" it will be less efficent.

[@abandoned_soul]

Hello man, I am amazed how you put all those things back 😨😫
