It looks like Sony has ensured that its pricey PS5 Pro console will be relatively easy to repair by making a critical component accessible. The CMOS battery is an essential part of a console as it powers the chip that stores important information and settings, like system date and time. In case of PlayStation consoles, a functioning CMOS is important for continued access to games, among other things. PS5 Pro CMOS battery slot is right under the console covers Those who’ve had their PS3, PS4, or even PS5 CMOS batteries die will know that although they’re replaceable, the process hasn’t been easy for the average player. This is especially in case of older consoles as getting to the battery was needlessly difficult. Folks who have gotten their hands on the PS5 Pro early have been sharing unboxing and teardown videos, and according to this image circulating online, the CMOS battery is sitting right under the covers. While CMOS batteries typically last a very, very long time, being able to replace one easily in case it unexpectedly dies is a much welcome move in an increasingly digital world. Worth noting that hardware manufacturers — including Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo — have been repeatedly warned not to interfere with consumers’ right to repair.
