Nice! As this is seemingly the only video I've found on UA-cam showing this I'm much appreciative. I have one coming to play about with and repair and this has set me up for it.
I watched this video for the SAME reason you made it😂 I got 2 black controllers and DBrand plates but the doc has been bugging me really bad being off color, you're a saint!!!
This is so helpful, tips for people who are struggling: Try use a knife or serated edge to emphasize the edges at the start of the teardown. This helps for your wedge tool to grip it. If you hear lotas of cracking its ok, its designed to do that and it isn't breaking. Your going to need a very small screwdriver t get into the holes since some are very far down. When re-assembling, make sure you have the 2 panels orientated correctly, they should fit in easily. If theres any alignment issues or difficulty you most likely have it the wrong way around. Good luck
@TimTacTV Cheers mate. Like you i couldn't find a teardown, so yours came in handy (my PS5 is red though, to go with my red/black two-tone controllers and red plates...i've recently sprayed my pulse headset which was bloody tricky) one bit of advice though, was i took off the rubber strips, so after i spray it red, it wont slip and slide when it's on top of my PS5 (yes i have it vertical with the headphones on a side clip) 👍
Very nice, glad you liked my video! I didn't really consider ripping out the rubber. I guess I just assumed I'd ruin them and didn't give it a second thought. Glad you figured that out. I just have mine sitting next to a horizontal PS5, as pictured at the end of the video.
Just did mine....I used a kobalt 5/64 flathead....no pry tool needed and I used it on were the power plug connects and I pulled up an came right off without breaking.... will look good with my black ps5
@@TimTacTV finally got around to painting the panels. I used plasti-dip black paint. Came out pretty good. Reason I used that paint is because it’s removable if I ever have a change of heart and want to go back to the white panels. Thanks again.
Thanks for this Guide, super helpful and I like yourself checked Dbrands website first for plates hoping they sold some painted plates that can match their PS5. Truly a missed opportunity from them.
Thanks for this video, need to cut into the top so that my controller with extremerate rise 2.0 back buttons can fit. And I was going to cut into the back one. That would've been bad lol. Good vid!
Wait.. didn't those 2 white side panels just unclip and pull off? I couldn't see it attached with any screws. So you definitely need to remove all that middle stuff in order to pull those panels off?
Look again (5:15), the 2 tabs per panel that come to a round end, which also have a screw hole in them near the end, are for screws. That would be too easy!!
Decent cheers dude! I have the nova pink ps5 and want the same colour charger! Like u said in Ur vid the white stands out to much if Ur console is no longer white
I'm playing with one thought - if charging station would work with USB power supply from PS5. The original adapter and docking station itself claims 2.8A which is not output current of standard USB.... Powering from USB would be much more suitable for me....
Simply cutting the cord and splicing on a male USB will likely fry your board. It would likely require a capacitor change/addition to the board but I couldn't tell ya where. I'm a mechanical engineer not an electrical engineer 🤣 That being said if you got dispensible money send it and lmk how it goes!! Will likely not work tho
If you do this be sure to record your process with commentary and make a video on what you did! Skip past the mechanical teardown and instead mention and link to this video for people who are curious about the mechanical teardown; we'll link to your fix in the description if it works out.
Hey man, thanks. I hope you see this before I start my spray painting but you know the plastic clips on the side plates? Did you spray paint that area too or cover it? It'd feel more satisfying knowing the whole thing is black I guess but if it affects how they clip in and stuff then maybe I should just cover all that area with tape when spraying, guess you can't see em once it's back together. It'd be easier to just go over the whole plate too though. Also, how's about the slightly rubbery feet? Shouldn't imagine spraying over them will do much harm since they're not super useful to start. That's what I'll probably do. Thanks!
Hey man, thanks for your comment. For the one I did (seen at the end of this video), I sprayed the whole thing in 3 or 4 coats, properly letting it dry in between coats. The clips did not act differently after this. The feet also stayed rubbery enough. If you'd like to know which type of paint I used, it's listed in the video at the end! Good luck!
@@TimTacTV thanks man, well I ended up mostly covering the clips but I also ended up just messing up the paint job in general, ended up just binning them because I got pissed off lol. I'm trading it out for a Snakebyte charging dock, which looks slick and matches but third party does bother me sometimes, although the reviews and all look good. But I'd also probably still be bothered knowing the official one wasn't so official anymore after being modified, the box would show as much. Dumb Sony's fault for not releasing a black one, ever since PS5 itself released I've lost a lot of respect for them with all their dumb BS.
@@TimTacTV he was a moron who couldn't handle a straight forward spray job...Even if you bugger it up, just use turps to wipe it down and start again, what a waste.🙄
Thank you, and great question! I would highly recommend against these processes, and here's why: Tape + Spray (no disassembly): The white walls curve in and run tangent to the main black body on the insides (AKA white walls and black body come together at a very sharp angle), which forms a crevice. Spray painting crevices in general is extremely difficult as it's very hard to aim the paint into the crevice without painting too heavy of a coat and accidentally creating a paint pool at the crevice, or drips just above it. Along with this, I would say it would be very tough to get tape into this crevice along the black body without completely blocking the spray paint from reaching the white wall side of the crevice in the first place. This process definitely would not be impossible, but it would be unnecessarily difficult for this device and would likely lead to visibly poorer results. Just take it apart, I'll even show you how to do it in 5min 😉 Dipping (no disassembly): Under no circumstances should you attempt this without removing the electronics inside. The dipping process requires placing your piece in water and you will not be able to tape this thing well enough to prevent water damage to the electronics. No-go!
@@TimTacTV thank you for your informative insight.. I guess I should've specified I was talking about those dips in a can that people use on their cars and pretty much everything else ...
@@TimTacTV Yup, lefty loosey and yes, I’m using precision screwdrivers. The whole set of drivers are tiny but yet none of them are catching into the groves of the screws. The might be the tiniest screws I’ve ever seen in my life. I managed to get 1 out but the other 3 are tightened so tight, they won’t even remotely budge. I’m having to use one of the flathead ones because it’s the only one that sort of fits in the groves but once I manage to get the flathead into the groves, I have to use essentially all of my strength to twist and they still won’t loosen. My strength just ends up forcing the head of the driver out of the grove and then I have to find my place all over again. Been at it for over an hour now smh
I sprayed mine matte black as well. It turned out perfect but I let it sit overnight to dry and one of my kids touched it in the morning…. Tried to fix it but now it semi glossy on that side cuz I sprayed the already dry side. SMH. I may have to re do that side sometime
The Dual NexiGO-CON Stand the charging station hasn't worked for over 8 months. The right one works fine not the left. So irritating you can't find anything for fixing the issue.
About time! Can you do the pulse 3d headset next??? I've customized the main console plates, the dualsense, and the media remote. I'd like the charger and headset to match but until this video I was not sure if I was going to have to depend on a ton of tape to get it done.
One the charging pins is broken please how to fix ? Is there any replacement to buy online ? Cause the Sony procedure to ship at my own cost is really not so helpful at all
Can you be more specific? Is it a broken component or is it an electrical issue? If it's a broken piece other than a wire, you might be screwed, bud. Not sure where you're located, but you'll prob have to find a way to buy another one. If you are a PS+ member you can buy them directly on Sony's site at no shipping cost (at least here in the US, no clue about others). If it's just not charging on one of the controllers but nothing looks broken, it's probably diagnosable by testing the continuity. Are you able to use a test light or multimeter to test to see where the continuity is 0?
The external power cable, with the plug on the other end for the wall? Is yours stuck in the charging station or something? It should simply pull straight out from the bottom. Or do you mean the internal power connector? In that case, don't mess with that. It comes out with the rest of the electrical harness. If you want to spray paint the side panels, you should be able to simply watch this video and follow the steps exactly. That is what this video is for and takes you thru everything you should need to know. Am I just not understanding what you mean?
@@EDGEplus Yes, it’s the external power cable. I guess it’s just stuck in the charging station🙁 It won’t come out when i pull on it and I am afraid that if I pull to hard I will break it.
Not finding anything online about those getting stuck. I'd say pull just a little harder than normal. It's a circular plug so you can rotate it a bit too, just try to jimmy it out a little with some rapid extra motion in different directions. Let us know!
