3 - 5 minutes

Rough estimate of how long this takes. (Use this to plan your day, not to feel judged.)

Very easy

Difficulty rating: Very easy! No disassembly required.

Introduction

Go to step 1

The power unit is obviously what powers your device. Without this you cannot use the device at all whatsoever.

Use this guide to uninstall the power unit from your device, then follow it in reverse order to install the new part.

Step 1 Power Supply



• For this guide, the faceplate disassembly is not necessary.
• On the bottom of the device, you'll see 4 rubber pieces at the corners. Peel off these rubber pieces.
• Unscrew the 4 10mm Philips J1 screws beneath them.

Step 2




• The black stickers between the 4 foam pieces are there to protect the unit's warranty. If you try to send the device back to Sony after poking through said stickers, they will not accept it as the device has been tampered with.
• Poke through said stickers and unscrew the 2 10mm Philips J1 screws beneath those.
• Insert the blue plastic tool into the corner of the bottom faceplate and slide along the edge.
• It will be a bit difficult as there is adhesive holding the faceplate to the unit, but with it bit of playing it should come off with ease.
