Thanks for the instructions, they helped me a lot!!! If there's one thing Sony didn't save on this console, it was screws 😂😂😂

This guy helped me take apart my PS4 slim and put it together!! Super happy for being able to do this without much experience as well as anxiety lol. One thing to note is that I had way more screws than what this guide showed. I also had an extra connecting piece alongside Step 8 where it tells you to "Gently lift the black wire to disconnect from the motherboard." Don't know what that piece does and I don't care as long as it works! All in all, great guide. My PS4 still works, cleaned up and able to be used for a few more years before I switch to a PS5 :)
