you've worked hard for your achievements
in your games and you shouldn't lose
them just because you have a power
supply that's on the fritz that's why
today I'm going to show you how to
switch out the power supply in your ps4
hi I'm Gwendolyn with iFixit
and for this repair you're going to need
a Phillips number one screwdriver a tr9
Torx security screwdriver and if you
feel like you need the help of tweezers
to disconnect cables grab a pair of
those I'm also using the help of my
magnetic mat it's not listed as one of
the tools for this repair but I never do
a repair with that one when you do your
repair be sure to follow the step by
step guide on a fix-it comm not only
does it walk you through the complete
repair but you can also see comments and
notes from other users that have
followed it which is really cool and
very helpful before we begin make sure
your ps4 is off and unplugged from any
power source now you can start by
flipping your PlayStation over onto its
top and remove the four stickers that
conceal the first screws that need to be
removed to get inside just FYI removing
these stickers does void your warranty
but let's be real when has that ever
stopped you with the stickers out of the
way now we can remove the 49 torque
security screws on the back of the game
system after those are out we can just
lift the front piece and slide the panel
towards the back pretty easy now
now we can see the next few screws we
need to take care of start up with the
three t9 torque security screws and the
two Phillips screws next we're going to
lift straight up on the power supply but
don't go pulling it off yet
it's still connected to the motherboard
via a wire plug that we need to
disconnect off the motherboards once
this is disconnected you can pull the
power supply right out for reassembly we
recommend you follow the step by step
guide on ifixit.com in Reverse or you
