Before you begin

This guide shows how to remove the fan and SSD cover on a PlayStation 5 Slim.

Step 1

The cover is secured with hooks along the back edge and clips along the front edge.
Firmly pull up the front edge of the smaller, upper cover to release the clips.
You'll hear distinct "pops" as the clips disengage.
Remove the cover.
To reinstall the cover, place the hooks into their cutouts along the rear edge and firmly press the front edge of the cover into place to re‑engage the two clips.
