What part can I remove from a ps5 slim to make it unable to update

ok I know how fucking stupid this may sound, but what part can I remove from a ps5 slim to make it unable to update, so I can keep it on a lower firmware to jailbreak it, kinda like this https://gbatemp.net/threads/error-su-101321-8.663300/

LAN Port, USB Ports and possibly Wifi Antennas/Chipset on the board?

would the blu ray drive work?

It's a blueray drive. What do you think that would do?

Not sure the bluray trick will work with a slim since.... you can remove it on them.

Why not just unplug network LAN cable (If used), then delete your WiFi connection details on the PS5.

that would probably be easier lmao. custom dns would be better tho, right?

Maybe PiHole and then blocking sony servers?

I keep mine online but it doesn't update by using a custom DNS, but only because I use Chiaki so I can stream to Switch and PC. There probably isn't many more uses for it than that because you need to block Sony's servers.

Why not just do Settings > Network > Settings > Connect to the Internet (Toggle On/Off). There's also System software update option.

You can uncheck automatic updates, but you won't even be able to install an update to a game without it forcing you to update your firmware. I'm not even sure it serves any purpose to not just remove internet except in my case to use an alternative DNS server to use Chiaki, otherwise you may as well just stay offline.

Also it will nag you to update your system every time you try to put your PS5 to sleep or turn it off.

just wifi chip
by removing it maybe it will cause your ps5 gamepad can't run wirelessly
lan port can't automatically connect to the internet if ethernet cable does not plugged in

It would be new to me, that a PS5 is able to boot without a wifi chip on board.

If you don't want to update, don't reset and don't connect your PS5 to the internet. And don't try newer games which need higher firmware.
