PlayStation 5 Tools and Toolkits

The PlayStation 5 can be opened without the use of any tools—the white panels pop off with a gentle tug, allowing immediate access to the m.2 SSD expansion slot, the fan, and the dust ports.
You’ll need to remove the stand before opening the console and can do so with a flathead screwdriver or a coin. If you're upgrading the SSD you’ll want to use a Phillips #0 screwdriver. If you're replacing the fan you’ll want to use a TR8 Torx Security screwdriver.

The tip of the Torx Security (we call it a TR#) screw head has a small hole in the center which differs from a standard Torx screw head (we call it a T#). Torx Security screwdrivers can fit standard and security Torx screws.
