-
-
Locate the plastic warranty sticker next to the three ports on the side of the console.
-
Remove the warranty sticker by peeling it off with any kind of spudger.
-
-
-
Unscrew and remove the now exposed 5.0mm screw using a TR8 security Torx screwdriver with a counter-clockwise motion.
T8 fits like a glove for me
Is there anything else you can use

A small flathead screwdriver will work
There is a small metal rod in the middle of the screw that isn’t allowing my t8 inside. Any insight on this?
Some T8 bits have a hole in the middle that will allow that rod to go through; some do not. If you have a set of multiple bits, check if there are any others labeled T8 or TR8 with that hole in the middle.

There is a metal thing inside of the screw slot any insite on this?
-
-
-
Place the Playstation 4 Slim upside down with the side of the screw you just removed facing you.
-
Pry up on the two corners that are facing you with your fingers.
-
Remove the bottom cover by sliding it towards the back corners and lifting up.
It says to place it upside down, but didn't you do so in the previous step? I've been trying to unscrew the screw with my screwdriver that I got from here and if I had to had the system right side up, I'm afraid I might've stripped the screw from all the force I tried to use to get the screw out that will NOT budge. It didn't even move the slightest after removing the warranty sticker.
There is a single clip on the left side about 5cms in, and another clip on the right side equidistant to the one on the other side. Jamming a spudger in there first, and lifting those clips helped, and then I had to slide down to lift a total of 4 clips on each side (each about 4cms apart). Then push the cover away from you, if that makes more sense than “sliding it towards the back corners”, since the back corners are technically facing you.
I saw many video and tried it my self, you have to remove the hard disc before removing any cover.

Place the Playstation 4 Slim right side up, with the PS logo on top and the side with the words "SONY" and "PS4" facing you.
-
Pry up on the two corners that are facing you with your fingers.
-
Remove the top cover by sliding it towards the back corners and lifting up.
-
-
-
Unscrew and remove the two screws (left one 31.0mm and right one 24.0mm) using a T8 screwdriver with a counter-clockwise motion.
-
Unscrew and remove the 3.0mm screw using a Phillips #1 screwdriver with a counter-clockwise motion.
UK model seems to be different here. There's no Philips screw where there is on your image.
This regards EU models in general, i think. My danish version is the same.
CUH-2215B doesn't seem to have the top antenna screw
-
-
-
Remove the four 16mm Philips screws holding the power supply in place.
Only 2 Phillips actress here on my UK
Only 2 phillips screws on the US one as well.
I also only have two screws here in the US.
CUH-2215B has two T9 Security Torx screws on metal shield and two Phillips screws

-
Remove the metal sheet from the top of the power supply by grabbing and lifting up with your hands.
I think the metal sheet protects the rest of the console or something from heating too much.
-
-
-
Remove the antenna from the top of the power supply by guiding the wire with your fingers through the groves underneath the metal panel.
What does this mean for part do? This part is not present in my console nor is the space where it's supposed to reside as shown in the picture above.
Me neither, guess they are different models.
The model shown in this tutorial is the PS4 Slim CUH-2115, because it has the WiFi Bluetooth antenna attached to the PSU.

-
-
Flip the Playstation 4 Slim onto its back.
-
Unscrew and remove the 4.0mm screw using a Phillips #1 screwdriver with a counter-clockwise motion.
it's usually pretty straightforward to remove the HDD first on any Playstation System
How do you get it when the screw is stripped
-
-
在这个步骤中使用的工具：Tweezers$4.99
-
Disconnect the wire connection from the power supply by firmly gripping it with your fingers or tweezers and pulling out.
-
Remove the power supply completely by grabbing and lifting up with your hands.
Your guide is good but detail. Could be alot better for a start you forgot to mention the screw on the other side that must also be removed to let the power supply out of ps4 slim
Could you replace a ps4 slim model CUH-211B with a N16-160P1A power supply
Just because I feel like this needs to be stated clearly, “Do no attempt to pull the plug out by the wires!”
Pull from the plastic, male end of the plug or you’re going to end up have a very bad day.
Literally no way I can do it by the plastic, the only way is wires. Gotta risk it I guess
Misha FV -
You are right, pulling the wires is entirely wrong. I used the small rectangular, thin blue plastic to push the cable back from the socket. It was too tight. From my experience of repairing, never pull wires. The consequences of damaging it are not worth it.
This cable is very hard to remove from the connector. It's much easier to unplug this cable from the motherboard side (in step 20) because you can push the connector out from behind. (This might only be true for some motherboard revisions.)
You can leave the power supply propped up on top of the console, like shown in the first picture. After you've unplugged the two cables in step 13, you can put the power supply back where it was to make flipping the console over easier.
This is about where I'd give up

Unscrew and remove the 31.0mm screw using a T8 screwdriver with a counter-clockwise motion.

Unscrew and remove the 10x 5.0mm screws using a Phillips #1 screwdriver with a counter-clockwise motion.
I have a ps4 model CUH-2215B and all the orange screws were replaced with molded plastic pins. They don’t come out. I could rip the heads off with pliers or something, but idk how it would go back together.
I have the same model as you and was stopped by this discovery, what i would try to do is remove them with pliers anyway and just use some spare small screws in the holes and see if that works, but I think no harm would happen if you just leave them out since it’s just a plate being held on and no important components are being held in place exclusively by the black pins.
Many of the screws were replaced with plastic rivets. Just use a straight head jewelers screw driver or very small chisel to shear off the head of the rivet by hitting the screw driver or chisel with a hammer. Be sure to keep the screw driver or chisel on a steep angle so not to place force down into to console. No need to replace them when re-assembling, They are not needed.
Anyway of ur gonna clean ur ps4 , it's better to remove the bottom one , u can get the motherboard without even touching that cover , it's not so necessary

If there are black plastic rivets in place of some screws, pull them out using pliers. They aren't necessary.

Remove the disk drive out by pinching on either side of the two black plastic "claws" and lifting up with your hand.
Where is the part number so I can order the exact fit? I have a older ps4 not the pro

Die Anleitung ist unvollständig und hört auf wenn es erst richtig los geht. Das Laufwerk ist noch drin und die Konsole muss restlos entkernt werden. Wärmeleitpaste sollte zur Hand sein. Bitte bitte ergänzt das noch. Es suggeriert das es deutlich einfacher ist, als es ist.
شكراً!!!!!!!!!!
SO basically I just wasted my time reading this whole guide only to find out it's not to replace the whole drive?
Nice.
Ich musste letzt endlich die komplette PS4 zerlegen, um das komplette Laufwerk zu wechseln. Bitte hier nachbessern.
This yet another not fully completed guide. This is NOT a full disc drive replacement.

incomplete guide, what replacement? the last step is taking the cover off but what about the disk drive?
Yeah, where's the ending to this?
To remove the complete drive you have to remove the motherboard. with the motherboard removed some of the above steps may not be necessary.
This guide is useful if you just need to remove disc or clean laser.
when replacing do you have to swap a board like the PS4’s of the past?
Nope, on the ps4 slim the optical drive is not married to the motherboard so any drive as long is the same model will work with any motherboard
What drive is used for replacement? Anyone have a link?
Newer ps4 slim has some black buttons on the drives instead of the 10 screws I’m stuck on getting the plate to the disc drive any suggestions????
I had to shave off the tops of those black buttons with a pocket knife to get the plate to come off.
The screw behind the warranty is not a T8 , it’s a TR8 (Tamper Resistant) screw. Just so you know which screwdriver to ACTUALLY buy/use.
T8 works fine
hi guys, is it possible to replace a ps4 slim disc drive with a standard ps4 disc Drive?
thank you
Nope i’m afraid you’ll have to buy the same model of ps4 slim disc drive with same one.
Hi.
I have the ps4 slim, the optical drive stopped working. I been through the process here and replaced the drive with a new one but the new one won't work either. Any suggestions?
this will help me get my PS4 repaired
i just need to get a new disc drive online
Thanks for putting this up. I was wondering how different it was going to be, compared to tearing down the Pro.
This guide is incomplete.If you want to actually replace the disc drive,then refer to the fan guide. The entire system let's be taken apart to get to the disk drive and or the fan. I also Ordered a replacement drive and installed it properly and it does not work
I replaced the optical drive but it only accepts the disc part of the way in. It's like something is blocking it because I can hear and fell the pull of the feed on the disc. I've taken it apart several times to check. What am I missing?
I'm having the same problem
So I replaced it but it want take any discs at all? Im not sure what to do
Nope, on the ps4 slim the optical drive is not married to the motherboard so any drive as long is the same model will work with any motherboard
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS
Not even a full guide💀💀
Remove the screw directly to the left of that one in the picture as well. Should be silver.

So becore you start on this guide if you read the comments at the last step, this guide is geared more towards repairing of the disc drive not replacing the entire optical disc drive, i have done mine already and the guide does help get you halfway there but you are gunna need a bit more to pull the entire disc drive out, i will post another comment on the last step so you can follow these steps and then mine to further reference from that point on. See ya on the last step of the guide 🤘
