So, you're staring at your sleek PS5, ready to clean it, upgrade the storage, or maybe just curious about its inner workings. But that cover... it's stubbornly clinging on! Fear not, aspiring technician, because removing your PS5's cover is easier than you think.
First, **unplug everything!** Safety first. Then, lay your PS5 horizontally with the PlayStation logo facing down (if you're removing the disc drive side). Grip the bottom corner firmly and gently pull up and towards you. You should feel a satisfying 'pop'. Repeat on the other corner, sliding the cover towards the bottom of the console.
For the opposite side (usually the disc drive side), flip the console over so the PlayStation logo faces up. Grip the top corner and repeat the process – pull up and towards you. Slide the cover up to remove it.
That's it! You've successfully liberated your PS5. Now you can clean those dust bunnies, install that extra SSD, or just admire the console's internals. Just remember the orientation when putting the covers back on - it’s the reverse of taking them off! Happy gaming!
