Before the PlayStation 5 even shipped, Sony posted a detailed teardown video of its own, revealing never-before-seen details such as the fan sucking in air from both sides and the internal SSD expansion slot. Now the folks at iFixit have attacked it with their usual enthusiasm, pulling the various tables completely to take a look from a third party’s perspective, and even running it through the X-ray machine just in case.
There’s really no secret hidden in that plastic box, and nothing to help you find one for sale at retail, but they did point out that (like the Xbox Series X), machines equipped with an optical drive are insured for do not allow users to change the unit themselves. They also took a closer look at the foam-covered bag that prevents the CPU’s liquid metal thermal solution from splashing. They didn’t notice any possible sources of coil whine that some owners complained about at launch, but they did comment on a label covering one of the bolts.
