Spent 2 full days on a PS5 fan swap that should take 45 minutes.

I tried to swap the fan in my launch PS5 for a quieter model and ran into a nightmare getting the PSU connector off that ribbon cable. Turns out the plastic clip was recessed way deeper than I thought and I was prying wrong the whole time. Has anyone else spent way too long on one tiny clip and felt like an idiot?

Oh man, @jones.brooke and I must have been wrestling the same demonic clip! I swear Sony coated those things in butter just to mess with us.

Wasted an afternoon on that same clip and nearly threw the whole console out the window.
