The Nony PlayMachine record below is a dated third-party parts reference, not a first-party current-build teardown. It records 10 parts and 20 screws, but does not independently prove a mandatory disassembly direction. Follow the live Notebook and placement prompts whenever they differ.

Recorded device reference — source build unknown
These figures come from an independent device record whose exact game build was not supplied. They are not an official database and are not described here as a current-build test.

Complete parts and screw ledger
Keep every screw with the layer it secures. A zero means the part is installed without a recorded screw of its own; it does not mean the layer can be skipped.

Recorded assembly layers / parts reference
The source supports this ordered parts reference for assembly. It does not independently establish that the same list is a mandatory teardown sequence. Do not reverse it by assumption. Follow the live Notebook and placement prompts; keep each screw with the layer it actually secures.

Disc Drive stuck below 100% clean — historical report
A December 2025 Demo thread reported Disc Drive cleaning stopping around 74%, 91% or 95%. This has not been reproduced here on the current build, and a newer thread title does not prove the same cause. If it happens now, update, record the build and objective, rotate and zoom once, then protect the save. Do not scrub indefinitely or replace several good parts at random.
Diagnose before buying a donor
Separate dirty, broken, and missing parts. A same-model donor is useful only when the value of its reusable components exceeds its purchase price. The 1.0.013r marketplace rebalance means older listing prices are historical; compare the current listing, seller rating, condition, license access, and exact failed part.
Competition and final verification
Independent records list a Nony PlayMachine assembly competition, but timing, rewards and the exact current-build sequence remain unverified. Use the table as a parts reference, follow live placement prompts, and confirm every requested repair and cleaning objective before hand-in.
FAQ: why will the next part not attach?
Check whether the previous layer still needs screws, rotate to the opposite face, and confirm the part is clean and working. Follow the notebook rather than dragging random components.
FAQ: is the Nony PlayMachine a real PlayStation teardown?
No. It is an in-game device inspired by familiar hardware. Use ReStory's notebook and interaction points, not real-console service instructions.
FAQ: are prices guaranteed?
No. Marketplace values and margins can change by condition, seller, license state and patch. This page treats screw and part layout separately from price observations.
