Introduction

The outer case will scratch easily if the device is not handled with care during the opening process. If the aesthetics don’t matter to you, this will not be a problem.

Finding the seam to start the case separation can be difficult. Using a flashlight, or very well lit area, can help to find the seam under the right angle. This can be helpful during this step.

I’m guessing you didn’t pin out the cable?

So far I get the following pinout, with one pin with no continuity to I’m assuming my issue is there.

Place both cables so the rounded corners are at the top. The two longer pins on the internal cable will be on the right as you look at it. The PS4 accessory cable end should have the plastic tab carrying the pins at the top as you look at it.

5 - 4

6 - 5? - broken in my cable or no connection by default

7 - 6

Hope that helps someone.
