Nice vid...This is the best tear down and assembly video on the PS4 I've seen..I will reference this video when i clean my PS4..I just got done cleaning and applying thermal paste to my Xbox one X..That thing was super easy to take apart...The PS4 looks like it will be easy too....

I genuinely can not believe how helpful and useful this video is. If there's a heave I hope you'll go there sir.

So... this is my husband's old PS4! The Witcher sticker (right down to the bubble in it from not applying it properly) is in the EXACT same place. We took it to a shop in Ohio who couldn't fix it, so we requested they dispose of it for us and we bought a new console. We're in the middle of cleaning out my console, and that's how he stumbled across this video. SO WEIRD to see our playstation on KZread! But hey! If it helps someone, then we're all for it. Note: this could be someone else's PS4... but we are both about 98% sure this was our old one! The sticker, timing and model all line up!

Highly recommend doing every step in this video just to be sure , great video explained everything so well earned a sub

Hi fasttech, thank you for doing this. I followed your guide and now feel happy about my ps4. I cleaned the fan, heatsink and used thermal paste. My ps4 on certain open world games does use a different load out and thanks to your guide I no longer worry about the system over heating, thank you again.

Thank you legend, my fan started vibrating and going out about two weeks back, and this video helped and made it silent.

I finally found out why it over heats so fast, thank you so much! This helped alot!

I have to say, thank you for pointing this all out from the beginning to the end because I’m at the process of cleaning off the cpu and apply new thermal paste for this console I have for over 6 years.

Yes. The fan will get clogged up with dust and that damages the fan. It's best to replace both the fan and thermal paste while cleaning any dust under the power brick and motherboard. The fan needs to move freely and effortlessly when it operates to work properly.

Spilling any kind of liquid in an electronic device can be catastrophic. You might not see symptoms right away but over the weeks and months corrosion will form on the circuit board and cause big problems. Since your post is a year old I imagine you are seeing symptoms by now unless you cleaned it out right away. Would be interested to know.

@@alienunleashed Vodka and fizzy drinks are not the same type of liquid. Vodka is the best kind of liquid you can spill in or on an electronics device since it evaporates quicker than pure water and actually has cleaning properties like medical grade rubbing alcohol. Fizzy drinks/pop or soda has sugars that can be extremely corrosive over time.

You have it wiggle it side to side while you gently pull it back. The part that connects is more like a cartridge and not the entire connection if that makes sense. You'll see it start to slide out after wiggling it around a couple of times.

I removed my fan and cleaned it with a paint brush. Paint brush removed most of the dust. You also need to clean dust out of the CPU condenser. Cleaning it fixed mine. No need to replace the fan unless it don't work.
