An awesome member of our community made this guide. It is not managed by iFixit staff.

I have a PlayStation 1, and i have decided to make a new teardown of it.

I'm spanish, so my english is a bit poor, and sorry for the mistakes made in this teardown.

Without further delay, we start.

Edit Step 1 — Sony PlayStation Teardown ¶

Here's the PS1.
Turn the PS1 over and remove the six screws.

Edit Step 2 ¶

Remove the top cover. It's very easy.

Edit Step 3 ¶

Disconnect both CD-ROM connectors.
- CD connector one and the socket it connects to.
- CD connector two and the socket it connects to.

Edit Step 4 ¶

Remove the CD-ROM reader. You should be able to pull it out gently, although you may have to wiggle it around a bit to loosen the rubber holders.

Detach both cables. They go to the power supply and to the memory cards and controller connectors.

Edit Step 6 ¶

Remove the four screws and the metal cover.

Edit Step 7 ¶

Now you have the motherboard!
And the power supply.
Remove the four screws from the motherboard and the power supply.
