I literally followed you step by step, I was so scared but I took the time. Cleaned everything so well and my ps4 is quiet and looking brand new ! Thank you so much ! Noob tips: -Buy thermal paste before you start. -Take your time, it took me 3 full hours, I went uber slow. -Be gentle, no need to force anything. -Use different bowls to put your screws in for your different stages. -Missing a screw will not be the end of the world, dont panic. - A tiny automatic screwdriver is a treat, but make sure its not powerful.

@Nikoitsromanletsgobowling

@@haroldinodeleonskie1578 No, but it's VERY important. When making the laptop, the manufacturers use very cheap thermal paste, which dries up very quickly and creates an air pocket between the paste and the CPU, which can lead to the CPU overheating.

There is a bit of ps4 in your dust.

I open my consoles and give them a quick brush out once a year. Mine don't get very dusty anyway, but it's a preventative measure. I'll replace the paste on older consoles I buy secondhand, or if my own are over 3 years old.

If you live in an area prone to insect infestations I recommend you clean the inside of of consuls regularly. Even if you keep your home cleaned religiously bugs are going to get inside. Roaches in particular love game consuls and the machines themselves are unintentionally effective roach motels.

Thanks very much for your detailed video. I followed this and replaced the thermal paste. I've never done this before. Ps4 now works great

Its so wierd that stuff like this dont just have easy removable+washable filters. Ages ago when i created my own media furniture, i added a panel that covers the front and the rear with pc dustfilter. All collects there so once awhile i just clean it with a damp cloth. Easy peasy.

That first version with the light down the middle is still the coolest outta the ps4s made 🤙🏽

I had same problem. Last week I changed the thermal paste with new Arctic MX-6 and changed all thermal pads with Arctic TP-3. Now my PS4 Pro is ultrasilent. I also made made sure my ps4 is in a open place for air to circulate properly. Make sure your PS4's tiny feets are intact. If some feets have broken raise it with some bluetack or buy new feets

You can open the disk drive up too. Just opened mine the other week after 6 years and had dust build up so wiped everything including censor. The whole reason I opened it up is cause it kept ejecting disks but the problem was the button so I removed the ribbon cable to the button. It works now and I just eject it on the menu.

Thanks for the info brotha you told me what I think the problem is at the end great videos 👍🏾

I've been using my ps4 since 2016 haven't opened it yet and it still works perfectly, I must note that I'm not a heavy user

I think this ps4 owner bought it when it first came out and never cleaned it until now, you did a great job ps4

imo cleaning off old thermal paste is one of the most satisfying things in existence along with wiping off the remains of melted thermal pads off of vram chips (totally not speaking from experience with cleaning my old laptop)

Noticed you missed a few steps getting to the fan, maybe I have a different model. I got to the motherboard and I stopped there. Because I noticed a few more things had to come out before I could get to the fan housing. Still helpful so thank you.

Post-apocalyptic PS4. Never had problems with my PS4, but my PS5 begun shutting off on its own. So I opened and cleaned it, the dust was minimal and there was some clogging on the radiator blades, so I blew that away, got some fans for the back to suck air out faster, and now it doesn't turn off. PS5s are pretty sensitive to dust and debry. They are on the edge of overheating when playing big PS5 titles, so it is a delicate balance.

@@dericjames2018 With the fans on the back the exhaust doesn't go over 60°C which seems to be the red zone. I have a thermo probe on the exhaust since day-1 (I use to have it on the PS4) just because. And it ended helping me understand the red signals when my PS5 was about to go off hard. If the air where the cables connect is over 60 degrees for over 20 minutes or keeps rising it will go off any moment. With the light cleaning and the fans pulling the hot air out now it doesn't go over 55°C even during hot days and very long play sessions. PS4 games never push it over 45 during 32°C days.

Good job 👍🏼

Good video!

I watch people clean so I feel accomplished

Unfortunately I cannot disconnect the PSU from the motherboard, the plug sits too damn tight. I’ve really pulled hard, if I pull harder I‘m afraid that either the cables rip or the entire plug comes off from the motherboard

Ok. So the metal plate on top of the fan got bent and i put it back together without it in. Will my ps4 slim explode?

from my experience, i simply separate screws by its characteristic. I may have at least two small containers for 1. big-black-long (hmm everything reminds me of him) and 2. small-short-white/silver. Then map screw position in 3D space. Instead disassemble it quickly, examine and understand how and why part are joint together. 'does long screw a part that have cavity.?' does bigger screws are meant to support structure'. Colored screw also have purpose such as for match the cover or design.
