LICHIFIT 1pc Sturdy Game Console Base Fixing Screw Replacement Vertical Stand Bottom Screw for PS5 Game Machine Repair Kit

Product Information

To remove the screw cap, I found a tiny flathead screwdriver was the way to go. You could probably also use a paperclip or a bobby pin too. Image: Kotaku Australia 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.

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. WHERE ps.product_id = p.product_id AND ps.customer_group_id = '1' AND ((ps.date_start = '0000-00-00' OR ps.date_start < NOW()) AND (ps.date_end = '0000-00-00' OR ps.date_end > NOW()))Rather than having a clawed design like the original, it offers a generic solution that actually attaches just as nicely. With a screw included, it’s an inexpensive way to acquire all the necessary pieces for an effective replacement. While there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong way to orient the console, we can say that the PS5 is vertical in almost all of Sony’s marketing materials, which might imply that that’s the way the company intends for people to use it. We can also independently verify that it looks way better when it’s standing vertically. Finally, you'll want to tighten the screw using, ideally, a coin - we used a 10 pence - or something similar.

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.As the video explains, the single screw can be removed and placed in a compartment inside the stand when it's not being used, with an end piece replacing the screw in the PS5 when you're ready to place it horizontally. As long as you don't misplace the stand, you should be okay. Is this actually a big deal? If you have the space, then you'll most likely want to have the PS5 standing in a vertical position. While you can do this without the stand, it will help keep your PS5 safe, so we highly recommend using it. To do so, you'll need to attach the PS5 stand to the console in one of two different ways to ensure that your console is as safe as possible. But more importantly, the panels serve a crucial stabilizing role. Obviously, the PS5 will sit very unevenly in its horizontal orientation if the panels aren’t there, since there’s no way to attach the stand without the bottom white panel in place. And in the console’s vertical orientation, the stand has a central channel in which the PS5 sits, flanked by elevated pieces of the stand that hug the sides of the console. Without the side panels attached to the console, the system is not secure at all in the stand. If, for some reason, you desperately want to use a naked PS5, your best bet is to orient the console vertically on a flat, stable surface without the stand attached. 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.

While they may not be official Sony products, all of the options we’re going to discuss today are attainable. Best of all, they’re inexpensive upgrades that work equally well with both the disc and digital versions of the PS5. But what if you want to stand the PS5 up vertically? After playing around with the configuration, you might find that the PS5’s base doesn’t sit quite right. There’s a good reason for that. Image: Kotaku AustraliaTo attach the stand, you'll firstly want to take the screw out of the stand. You can easily do this by rotating the stand and, once you have the screw, make sure you put it somewhere safe. It’s the exact same color, size and design as the OEM that comes included with the console. In fact, there’s even the same tiny compartment to keep the plastic plug and screw in a safe position if you want to set it up horizontally.

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. The screw might be rather hard to remove, but, if you keep at it, then you'll be able to free it. How to stand the PS5 in a vertical position In this position, you should be able to see a series of symbols resembling the traditional Sony buttons, on the inside of the right wing. When the PS5 is resting horizontally, the disc slot should be on the bottom (if it’s on top, your machine is upside down). How much does this actually matter? Well, it's arguably a complication for any kids who get the console for the holidays and don't want to mess around with tools to set up their PS5s – but it doesn't actually look that hard to get the screw off, based on the video. We'd bet a coin will do it.

For those who want the cleanest appearance possible, a PS5 wall mount may be a great option. A wall mount is the best choice for those who want to suspend their console behind or next to their TV. Either way, you could choose to showcase the PS5 on the wall, or simply hide it from sight.
