      I'm guessing that it's because the game is running, then you're also opening up the dashboard...using up more computing power.

    For anyone still struggling. Get any metal spoon, point it into the spot where your fingers would be, and simply pry it open. Worked for me.

    Would it have killed sony to add a hidden button underneath to slide it open easy, instead of pulling it with force? The way they made it encourages us to open and clean, but at the same time its a huge pain in the ass..I wouldnt complain if it didnt feel like I was gonna snap it in half everytime i wanted to open it.

      Same here! UK PS Pro. I was able to remove the right side, but the left side (where he says wasn't put back properly) just won't budge! My finger tips are now officially DEAD! Really hard on the "power button side". The most annoying part is that I can see than my FAN does need cleaning! But I can't get to pop the top.
      Message to SONY:
      Damn it why? The PS4 v1 was so easy to clean. Why TF would SONY make it complicated this time. FACE IT SONY we like to clean our fans regularly, you know that since PS3 and you have given us a hard time this time? SMH

      Naps, try using something as a lever like I did, it'll get it off for you. As I said, I used the handle of a table knife due to the shape, but a few things should work. Just be careful to get it in as deep as you can to avoid scratching, denting or snapping anything off it. I had numb fingers and that was a last resort but was better than expected. Good luck

    Great and informative video thank you. I needed to remove the top cover but was afraid to do this by trial and error. Seeing your video first of all made me aware that there were no concealed screws etc or additional stages, prior to removing the top cover. I admit, having disconnected the PS fully, I used a screwdriver on each corner recess to prise the cover away gently - the comments below showed that this is not easy on the fingers, so I avoided that problem - only using my fingers when the cover was loosened. The video allowed me to see that position and shape of the corners so as not to damage the lower part of the console. Thank you, mission accomplished!

The bad trip is that you might have fear to breaking the lid but everything went smooth. Of course my fingers are still screaming and I did all of that just to discover my d1 ps4 pro didn't needed a cleaning at all. Very efficient desing I must say.

    Guys, I did for the first time in my PS4 Pro just a couple of minutes ago, and although I have my fingers sore it worked. Basically dont try both sides at once if you never done it, pull a bit in the middle first, till you hear a clack, then use both hands on one side and the both hands on the other, I did the sony side first then the ps4 one. I wasted 15 min and many fingers trying both at the same time and it didnt work.

    Quick tip if you got to open one side but not the other: Wrap a screwdriver handle in a cloth and slide it from the open side to the locked side, it's super easy and requires no finger strength at all.
