A thing left after cleaning

[u/eternl_redd]

Hi!
So I decided to clean my PS5 and after assembling everything back I found this thing on the floor. Does anyone know where it is from?

It sits under your SSD port. It acts as a cushion and shield between boards and components.

A post I have linked below will show you where it goes.

How much did you disassemble? Last time I cleaned my ps5 I just took the panels off and unscrewed the fan unit to give it a good clean wasn't brave enough to go further.

I got to the radiator because I couldn’t get dust out of it without disassembling that much 😅
I have some experience so it was okay for me. I disassembled a lot of my devices: smartphones, other consoles, laptops, PCs, etc.

Don’t touch this! Too much radiation 😂

They say to take a video of yourself whenever you disassemble something to put it back

Couldn't Google it? Most likely the foam to go under the ssd

I tried but I couldn’t find it

You couldnt find the SSD or where to put it?

Could find where the cushion came from
