Replacement Game Console Base Fixing Screw Stainless Steel Vertical Stand Bottom Screw for PLAYSTATION 5

Product Information

Place the stand on the PlayStation 5’s underside, aligning the hole in the stand with the screw hole in the PS5’s base. Use a flathead screwdriver, or a penny, to secure the stand.

There may not exactly be a right or wrong way to position the PS5, but it could be argued that it’s vertical in practically all of Sony’s marketing materials, implying that’s how the firm wants consumers to use it. t’s also just that little extra aesthetically pleasing when it’s vertically oriented. You'll want to place the hooks for the stand on top of the squares at either end of this line of symbols. Do this carefully, but firmly, to ensure that the hooks are properly attached to the PS5. When the PS5 is resting horizontally, the disc slot should be on the bottom (if it’s on top, your machine is upside down). Fortunately, the screw you need is hidden inside the base. It only comes out after you rotate the base into the correct position. So turn the base over, and if you’re seeing something like this: Image: Kotaku AustraliaIf, like us, you prefer the PS5 in its vertical position, here’s how you attach the stand to support it in this configuration: Before you start attaching the stand, you'll want to rotate the stand's hook so it's north-west of the elevated section of the stand. See the picture below for a better idea of what position the hook should be in: There are a variety of reasons why you would desire to get rid of these items. For example, cleaning out the fan when the machine is consistently overheating (recommended), as well as the dust catchers, which are located just beneath the plastic fins and are easily accessible once those panels are taken off. The stand lies right under the PS5 when it’s laying horizontally, with two little plastic hooks in the rear of the machine. The PS5 is kept steady using just friction and the weight of the device, thanks to these hooks and an elevated piece of the PS5 stand in the centre. The PlayStation 5 has a striking appearance and is easily the best console on the market right now, but there’s more to its design than its massive polar-white fins.

After that, examine the base of the console and remove the plug as we described earlier. In the small compartment we just opened, there’s actually a dedicated spot to place this tiny plug while you have your console oriented vertically. Simply drop the plug into its dedicated storage spot and remove the screw that we just exposed. Using a dedicated horizontal PS5 stand is a great way to add stability and airflow when you have your console sideways. These aftermarket stands utilize two pieces for resting the PS5 on its side while simultaneously propping up the console. Not only does it improve the look, it adds much more stability than the standard base provides. In addition, it allows for better ventilation and heat dissipation.Once the screw has been tightened, you can stand the PS5 vertically and start playing! How to stand the PS5 in a horizontal position When the PS5 is vertical, the stand is held in place by a screw — which, when not being used, is conveniently stored in a secret compartment in the stand itself. In this position, the screw is the only thing holding the stand onto the PlayStation 5, but there’s no need to worry, as it’s a fairly hefty screw. If you don’t have a screwdriver around, you can also use a coin to screw it in. How do you install the stand for the horizontal PS5? It’s an exact clone down to the precise length and thread count of the original OEM screw. It’s even made from the same stainless steel material as the Sony-branded screw, for ideal strength and resilience. So now that the cap is removed, you can actually go about attaching the base to the PS5. But therein lies another problem: this requires a screw, and as you might have noticed, there’s not one in the box.

Once you've removed the base and the screw holding it in place, you can store the little bolt inside of the stand itself. A small compartment can be found underneath the stand, and the screw can be pushed into a special slot that will keep it securely in place. Don't forget to do this, as you're likely to misplace the screw if you store it somewhere else. This way, it's always right with your system if you want to change the position again. 3. Use the provided cap to plug the screw hole Seriously, it looks way better when it’s vertical. Also, remember that discs should be inserted with the printed side facing to the left.As reported by Australian-based gaming outlet Press Start, these new PS5 models were shipped over to the country last week. Apparently, Press Start believes that Australia is the first country to receive shipments of the new models. These new consoles sport a slightly changed model numbering scheme, featuring CFI-11XX. (The original launch PS5 consoles use CFI-1XXX.) These console models appear to be nearly identical. One small change is a new screw used to attach the PS5 to its stand. Before, this screw could only be tightened or loosened using a tool. Now, the small screw has been changed and you can do it all by hand. What a time to be alive.
