What you need

1. Step 1 Removing the Cover

   

   • Use your hands to remove the shiny part of the PS4 cover. It should come off rather easily.

   • As you can see in the second image, the cover should just pull of with ease, and a little force.

   • IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO REMOVE THIS COVER, PLACE THE PLAY-STATION ON A RAISED LEDGE TO GIVE YOURSELF A LITTLE MORE LEVERAGE
