This is PlayStaion 4 produced by Foxcon.


Start decomposition immediately. First, remove the HDD cover by hand.


After removing the cover, remove the screw securing the HDD with a dedicated screwdriver.


The removed 500 GB HDD is made by HGST.


Since the screw attached to the main body is covered with a seal etc, we will peel one by one using tweezers.


When removing the seal, remove the screw with a special screwdriver.


When removing the cover on the top of the main unit, confirm that the fan is attached to the upper right.


Next, remove the power supply.


The contents of the power supply look like this.


It is easy to remove it because it has only two screws fixing the Blu-ray / DVD drive. Please note that PlayStation 4 can not play PS, PS 2, PS 3 game software.

Next, remove the cover on the right side of the main unit using a screwdriver.


Remove the metal panel next to the cover. As metal panels tend to cut their hands carefully.


When I removed the panel I revealed a big foundation.


Samsung's K4G41325FC-HC03 4 GB (512 MB) and GDDR 5 RAM (512 MB) chips are surrounded by an orange frame, SCEI's CXD 90026 G SoC is a red frame, SCEI's CXD 90025 G chip etc. to other network processors etc. It is equipped.


Also equipped with Panasonic MN86471A HDMI Communication LSI.


Remove the metallic electromagnetic shield remaining in the main body ... ...


Finally disassembly by detaching the fan. PlayStation 4 fans have been improved to work quietly.


According to iFixit, the decomposition difficulty of PlayStation 4 was 8 out of 10 steps (the smaller the number, the more difficult the difficulty) and it was a rather simple class. Metal panels and electromagnetic shields have many sharp points, so care must be taken not to damage the hands during disassembly.
