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

Product Information

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.

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. 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. If the PS5 is in a vertical orientation, the stand is kept in place by a screw that is neatly placed in a hidden chamber within the stand when it is not being used. The screw is the only thing anchoring the stand to the PlayStation 5 in this configuration, but no concern is necessary as it’s a rather big screw. Does It Matter If The PS5 Is Vertical Or Horizontal?

The USB C charging port is another component that could need repair or replacement soon enough. While more durable than the older USB connection ports, they could still become a point of failure for the console/controller. When the PS5 is resting horizontally, the disc slot should be on the bottom (if it’s on top, your machine is upside down). For those looking for a direct replacement stand that comes with the proper screw, look no further. The XBERSTAR PS5 Stand Replacement Vertical Stand is a direct clone of the original PS5 stand base. 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.

The screw can actually be found within the stand itself - if you look at the bottom of the stand, you'll notice that there's space for a small compartment. 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. Sony built a special compartment for just this purpose into the underside of the stand. When you’re not using the screw, you can just snap it in there. Sony even thought of the fact that in the horizontal orientation, the screw hole would be visible on the left side of the PS5. So the chamber also holds a piece of plastic that you can use to plug the screw hole (which makes it even harder to notice the already inconspicuous hole). 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 If you decide to flip the PlayStation 5 on its side, it’s still pretty big. Turns out it’s the same size either way. Unfortunately.In the ever changing landscape of the industry its hard to identify and highlight each individual part origin so we developed BAQ – Best Available Quality.

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. You'll also want to ensure that the hooks attached to the stand are lined up correctly with the elevated piece in the middle, as demonstrated below: Seriously, it looks way better when it’s vertical. Also, remember that discs should be inserted with the printed side facing to the left. 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.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? For the vertical mount to work, you need to screw the base in. There’s no hooks on the bottom to give the base stability. But there’s a catch: you’ll have to remove the screw cap from the left side of the console. It’s the side where the power button is, or the power/eject/Blu-Ray drive if that’s a bit easier.
