Although Sony has already issued the official dismantling video of PlayStation 4, let the world's internal construct of the new generation of game consoles. But if it is to dismantle the professionality of electronic equipment, you must wait until the IFIXIT website can do the needs of the majority of players. IFIXIT is also very active to meet everyone's needs, and released the high-definition demolition of PlayStation 4 in the first time.
First, practice, first look at the packaging
Disconnect the box, all equipment:
front:
Next, two close-up:
The back interface of PlayStation 4 includes back interfaces: power input, digital fiber audio output, HDMI, RJ-45 Ethernet, AUX private interface (connectable PlayStation Camera and other devices).
In response to some users, the problem has been confirmed from HDMI, which is provoked is that a small piece of metal inside the interface, destroying the connection between the data line, causing the video signal to not output.
This part of the outer casing can be removed from the outside.
Take down the housing
Enable screwdriver
Unplug the hard disk
HGST, 2.5 inch, 500GB capacity, SATA 3Gbps interface, can be free to replace other large-capacity hard drives at will.
As long as the hard drive is not more than 9.5 mm, the standard hard disk specification can be installed, but the large size of 12.5 mm is not.
There are four stickers in the back, and there are warnings on both sides to remind users to take themselves.
Curved twisted, careful
Loose screw
Start a shell
After taking the safety screw, the first eye looks fine, and it is also very compact assembly.
The screws of the corner are not just screws, but a bracket that acts at a role.
A small PlayStation 4 host has a built-in power, which makes the volume than the 4 lots of Xbox One in PlayStation is absolutely self-consctor.
The power housing is very easy to remove, and the internal visible yellow PCB and various capacitors, inductors.
PlayStation 4's power built-in makes the design more compact, but the heat dissipation fan is more important, it can be seen that its volume is quite large, but also through the heat pipe.
The BD / DVD drive is a few screws. Note that it is not compatible, and cannot read the PS3 / PS2 / PS1 game CD.
Due to the inside of the machine, the CD drive of PlayStation 4 has not been wrapped with a shell like a normal optical drive, and there is no inheritance.
There is only one Rissa ScEi RJ832841FP1 in the front side of the optical drive circuit board, and the location should be a control chip.

Continue to screw the screw
Take down the housing
Screw again
Remove the rear shell of PlayStation 4, take the bracket in the middle, the motherboard is near eye.
The motherboard is presented in it (better)

The one in the lower left corner, revealed that it was Marvell Avastar 88W8797-BMP2 wireless chip, support 802.11n 2x2 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and FM radio.
Electromagnetic shield frame below the motherboard.
The big radiator is firmly sticky to the upper side. PlayStation 4's electromagnetic shield bracket is extremely sharp, need to be abnormal
fan
The super large fan of workmanship, I believe it will increase a lot than the heat dissipation performance of PlayStation 3, and it is quieter and smarter.
Decomposition: piled up a bunch
摆 放 齐 来 个 家 福
IFIXIT's maintenance index to PlayStation 4 is 8 points, basically very easy to repair. Overall, PlayStation 4 parts are basically not using glue, with a few screws to fix, and the disassembly is very easy. Standard 2.5-inch hard drive allows users to easily replace larger capacity models, and do not affect PlayStation 4's warranty. The most difficult part is actually a fan, it will be more troublesome, and it is integrated with the electromagnetic shield. Finally, pay attention to the electromagnetic shielding board very sharp, it is easy to hurt your fingers.
In fact, the inside of PlayStation 4 is very amazing as its exterior, but this is actually nothing difference, because this is Sony's product, and Sony has always been one of the industry's most understanding of industrial design. The game host has entered the seventh generation, and believe that the game host manufacturer has learned from the past mistakes, both Sony and Microsoft. And players no longer be bothered because of the problems such as "three red" or "yellow lights" because of the poor hardware design, but affect the entire game experience.
