How to REMOVE PS5 SIDE PLATES

[@crosher93]

I haven't taken mine off in fear of breaking something when others just ripped it off. But with this it easily popped off with very little force and a satisfying pop. Almost as satisfying as opening a roll of Pillsbury dough

Found this video thru a reddit where someone snapped their panel in half from pulling up to hard. Then I read that if u don't clean ur system every 6 months/1 yr it could get stuck and harder to release... I've had mine for 3 years and never cleaned it.... This video made it easy and quick, I had it off within seconds applying this. Thank you!!!!

Got mine used and the previous owner hadn't cleaned up the console, so I was happy to see how easy it was to take apart and get rid of the dust. This was the best guide I found to help me take off the faceplates without destroying them

[@Caine751]

Best tutorial I've see, as someone else said. It's so easy, but if someone doesn't explain it right, you feel like you're going to break it. You were very clear, took your time but didn't go painfully slow. Just clear and concise. Thank you.

thank you for specifically mentioning the sliding part. i knew from other videos it’s not just popping it off cause i did it before, but no one mentions you have to pull up GENTLY while sliding down. don’t just pull up and pop it open you’ll break the locking mechanisms that keep it in place!

[@zerokiryu6330]

The comment I've come to make has been said already but I'm going to reiterate it. I watched another video and pulled up but was scared to pull up any harder for fear of breaking it. Your comment about pulling up and sliding down simultaneously made all the difference in the world. I really really appreciate it. Excellent video!

Dude this is A1. Good ole nice simple clean video 🫡🤙🏾

[@spooky_electric]

Short and simple tutorial. The up and slide technique made it easy to understand and showed just how simple it was to actually remove the plates. Other tutorials would either just pop it off quickly without explaining and just saying "it pops right off." I was scared to break the plates before this tutorial. long way of saying "thanks!"

[@SouthJerseyBrian]

Great job explaining how to do it. Feels so simple now. Good to know in case the barrage of tutorials explaining how to update the internal storage (once Sony updates everything and everyone) brush over how to open the console to begin with.

[@mattg768]

Had my ps5 since launch and although I'm in a very clean house the ps5 was full of dust already, this thing must suck in alot of air to have that amount inside already. For comparison my launch ps4 Pro has less dust inside and that was only ever opened once at the same time I did the ps5.
