Did all of the above and no issues now. Appreciate it. There was quite a bit of build up on the fan. Most likely the cause of the issue. Super easy to break it down and clean. Don't be scared to do it! Thanks for the walk through
I would have played until something came up and taken it to a repair shop but after watching this demonstration I feel I can do in on my own too which will be more timely and doesn't take much time either. So glad to see they made the PS5 a lot easier to get to parts for servicing. The PS4 was a whole other story and I was frighten to opening it up.
I got a temperature warning last night, so I knew it was time to clean my fan properly, i have been taking my plates off to clean it but I didn’t know until I seen your video you can pull the black vents out so you can unscrew the cover of the fan easier, you are a legend thanks my ps5 is brand new now
Good vid, but an easy way, buy a small fine brush (kindof like the ones used to paint corners of interior walls) the fibers will go deep enough to scrub the fins and knock the dust loose, take your time on both sides and use a vaccume to catch the rest. This way you avoid breaking anything. I did it two days ago, fan looks brand new.
Commenting to add to the algorithm. I came here to figure out how to remove those vent pieces when I was cleaning and didn't realize I had enough wire to set the fan aside to clean it instead of risking removing it from the board it's on, which was what I had planned. Great video and kudos to Sony for the design/engineering.
I took out the fan and cleaned it thoroughly and I cleaned whatever I could put my hand inside the ps5 and literally my ps5 does not shut off while playing ps5 games anymore. Thanks for the video .
I’m to scared to take the fan out lol. Update today 2/23/23 since everyone keeps saying it’s easy , I have already cleaned it , and taken it apart , but thanks for the Dozens of replies saying it’s easy
This video was amazing and very informative! I will be doing exactly what you demonstrated in this video to clean my ps properly. Thanks for the video! Earned a sub for sure.
If you don’t have the right screwdriver setup for the fan screws, then you can still get the job done by using an air duster spray can to spray the blades. and you can catch the dust with a vacuum hose. Usually the top back vents of the console. Try to spray only in the direction the fan is supposed to spin.
@@deejones8552 vacuuming creates static which can literally fry your entire PS5, you're never supposed to use a vacuum anywhere near the internals of electronics
@@Noah-rd5ri oh ok thanks.. I'm running out of ideas on how to fix my ps5. Can't play ps5 games without it shutting off completely. Pretty much used more then have a can of air duster to clean and it didn't work.
Thanks so much man. Gained a subscriber. Got my PS5 for 15 months and dust was starting to be unpleasantly visible on grid and part of the fan. Followed this, and now is as clean as new. The only part where I struggle was removing the front plate. Important: the screwdriver that fits better is a T8 security torx. To clean the fan properly help yourself with canned air and a dust catcher to reach the tricky part between the blades. I used the screwdriver to help me push the dust catcher deep between the blades. Hopes this helps!
I am totally cleaning mine tonight. You made it look so easy. Thanks 2:28 - the removable front air intake grill piece What is this actual part called ? Is this part paintable etc I wonder Thanks Update: Yep a breeze ! Thanks again
Had mine since Day 1 of launch and there wasn't a lot of dust in there so probably wasn't worth the hassle for me but its easily done and designed to be cleaned without voiding the warranty hence why the sticker is not touched. Just thought I give people an idea to how much dust will be in there after this period of time, however it really depends on the conditions you keep it in and whether you do plenty of dusting around where it sits.
That’s amazing 😮 going that long and for it to not be a lot of build up. I mean… mine wasn’t the worst but it could use some dusting off. Thanks to this video, I was finally able to clean it and make it look brand new. I got a whole entire toolbox with wrenches, sockets and bits so I already had all tools necessary. Eventually…you’ll have to do the same or have it done for your PS5 too. No matter how clean, there’s just no escaping dirt/dust buildup.
I'm in the same boat, have had my PS5 for 3 years and never cleaned fan but now it over heats and pretty sure it's because dust build up. Ordered a torx screwdriver, should be getting it tomorrow and can't wait to clean it because it shuts off after an hour especially since it's getting hot where I live now smh
@@DreadBoi504 I hadnt cleaned mine since release until about half a year ago but I dusted the outside and its area and it was out in the open. I was surprised how little dust was inside it, the fans didnt even look bad either
Thank you for actually going screw by screw and what size went where. I didn't know they were different sizes until i went to put the fan back in and didn't keep track at all.
I thought i had to take the fan out by disconnecting it but it seems i don't. thanks for the easy to follow video, i cant wait to get stuck in and clean her up. My new internal ssd has been shutting down the console so i assume its over heating and needs a good clean out. It never once shut down before i installed the ssd.
At 4:52 before you blow compressed air, make sure to cover the remaining open part of the pS5 with a cloth and then blow. That way you will not blow the dust back into the machine.
Thanks, I might have forgotten the screw order when reassembling 😄. I will say my strategy was slightly different...my fan was caked. I used cotton buds (q-tips) to loosen the dust, then one of those low power car vacuum cleaners to lift it. Took a while but I can confirm it still works after reassembly 😀👍
You forget to blow out or clean out the insides for dust! There's huge dust bunnies in/on the power supply and the heat sinks inside the unit. Missing key elements here to prevent overheating, no matter how well one cleans the fan itself. Thank you for the correct screw positions though, and size of the driver/type.
Was really helpful this video and thank you for doing it step by step but honestly can you show another video doing the stage 3 cleaning? I know there's other ones but I trust you cause you really explain everything good.
Great video but the biggest recommendation I can give is unplug the fan before cleaning it's super simple also be careful with compressed air it can cause damage
Why unplug it? The cable is very sensitive and it’s easy to break it if you pull on it plus the pins could bend if you wiggle it. Theres literally no reason to unplug the fan since you can access it while it’s still plugged in like he showed in the video…
Thank you so much for this video it was quick simple and to the point and made it a super easy job, I was very worried when I first thought to take it apart like this but i made it work, this method works especially well if you have an extra set of hands to help you out while holding the fan and dusting!
The thing that always scares me is the wires part. I don’t know if I pull on the wires or have them basically hurt my fingers just to pull on the white thing.
It’s means it’s more clean and it’s working as when it was brand new , no worries I saw a video of a guy that repairs stuff he clean it and said if you hear fan makes noise it’s common
Great video… i just thought i’d let everyone know how i cleaned the fan with out removing it … i got 2 straws and wide masking tape and put the straws in the bottom of the vacuum hose and taped it up so the straws had suction and pushed it into the holes of the fan to suck up the dust .. it wasnt perfect but it cleaned the majority of the dust ..
I've found you can use a small flathead screwdriver aswell. I disassembled my entire ps4 a few times with one, and resembled with no problems. It works the same on these to.
3 of the screws came out as easy as pie ,the last one (too right) will not unscrew ,I believe it’s the screwdriver I’m using ,anywhere I can get the correct one ?
5 design is extremely user friendly i remember the day i cleaned ps3 and couple of years later 4pro .lot of hassle to just reach the fan . The need to be completely disassemble to get a cleaning.
Great video. Very easy to follow and cleaning the fan is that easy. I say easy, I cleaned two PS5 and really struggled with the smallest of the fan screw (bottom left of the video). I stuggled to remove one and couldn’t the other. Not sure if it’s a design problem - can’t be a coincidence that the same screw wouldn’t unscrew.
If you don't have the special screw driver use a pare of needle nose pliers and grab the screw by the side and gently turn it until it is removed, worked for me.
Thank you. I have sudden power-off issue. Took things apart and evicted some dust bunnies. Y’all make sure to look inside where the bottom would be. There grill is a grill there with tiny round holes that was stuffed up. It catches everything that flies into the ps5. But also chokes the air going to the power supply. I suspect that will solve my issue
@@jimmycorrales8835 not a single overheating/power off issue since. It worked like a charm and the ps5 been running for hours at a time.

I was able to remove 3 of the 4. The last one looks like it has a point in the middle of screw which doesn't allow the T8 to go down all the way. Any ideas will be much appreciated.
@@smooov7493 try to match the size of the screw with the tool you are using. I was using a smaller screw driver from a computer repair kit. If it is rounded out, good luck.
I have a problem where I can unscrew the first 2 screws but I can’t unscrew the other 2 as in the screw doesn’t fit in the last 2 , do you maybe know why?
T8 tamper resistance also works toooo aha but yh I went through a hassle of realising difference between regular torx screwdrivers and security torx ones

Other tip to remember is that those holes for the covers grips can be vacuumed too.
@@Link345_1 same I ain’t taking no chance
@@menaceondasticks7704 I telling you right now, the ps5 is gonna be my best kept PS yet 😆
once every 45 years
For me I can’t take out the screws. I used the right size but there’s little pegs in the screw holes. Is there anyway to remove/avoid them
You need a t8 and t9 electrical torx tools, they have an indent in the middle to accommodate for the nipple in the screws
There's some ports by the power supply that can become clogged and cause overheating
I always cover up my ps5 when it's switched off so it doesn't get that dusty in side
It’s the fan that’s sucking up dust coving it helps a bit but not a whole lot
Dust is barely getting in when the fan is not spinning lol. It's useless to cover it.
I use external fans so my inside fan hardly spins also I use a electric duster to blow dust away
Imagine thinking your ps5 collects dust inside when not in use
If you still do that R.I.P
Thanks for the step by step very easy and all done :-)
Thanks for making this video I was able to knock it quickly when it overheated for the first time on me this morning.
Thanks for this video. You got my subscription 🔥
Quick question, how do you know once you’ve put the fan back that it’s working fine 100%?
Can you also use a T8 screwdriver? I'm having a hard time finding a T9 for some reason
Thanks for sharing this video I did exactly what you did and hopefully this works I cleaned all the dust off my PlayStation 5 and hopefully it won’t overheat and randomly turn off
Same thing been happening to me lemme know if it’s cos of dust thought mine was broken lool
@@l1--_--lucas659 yeah so far so good It’s blowing hot air from the back and in the front cool air I also had it on a surge protector with other wires I put my PlayStation on it’s own plug and it hasn’t turned off I’ve also been playing call of duty modern warfare 2 and my ps5 is holding up pretty good now thank god that was a scary moment I thought I broke it 🤦♂️
@@yaboiiismokey5416 bet been playing god of war and it jus keeps turning off after like a hour got me scared asf
@@l1--_--lucas659 bro me to exact same problem
How’s it holding up? I have the same issues with mw2, gow2 and nba2k
Opened today first time since launch week... very little dust, nice!
Short and accurate. Great, helpful vid. Thanks.
Great idea. I was afraid of somehow ripping the cable and hadn't even thought about that lol
Thanks for showing what screws went where
My screw won’t come off and I don’t know why. I’ve been trying for 3 hours. I have the right screwdriver and I only managed to get 2 out.
Me too
Same bro
Get a cheap electric screw driver, i used a 10 dollar one off shein and got all 4 screws out in 10 seconds
I was able to remove 3 of the 4. The last one looks like it has a point in the middle of screw which doesn't allow the T8 to go down all the way. Any ideas will be much appreciated.
@@Gobbler_92you need a t8 security screw as there’s a bump in the center that stops regular t8’s fitting
Thank u after months of not playing fortnite I can now play ps5 games by cleaning fan and coil
The ps5 was really developed well for cleaning
so glad it is, not like other versions of the ps4 slim, sony literally put melted plastic instead of metal screws making it hard to clean 💀💀💀✋
Thank you! especially on how to put the case panels back on! 😅
Thanks for this video I cleaned out my ps5 was really worry about the wire but it was alot easier with the video thanks
If your screws it's really hard to come out. Try to get it half way out and use pliers to turn the rest out.
I got all but one out with pliers but I can’t get the last one
@@smooov7493 try to match the size of the screw with the tool you are using. I was using a smaller screw driver from a computer repair kit. If it is rounded out, good luck.
Good video thank you idk why I can’t get the short screw out with the T9 tho it’s wedged inside fs
I have a problem where I can unscrew the first 2 screws but I can’t unscrew the other 2 as in the screw doesn’t fit in the last 2 , do you maybe know why?
Will this work if ps5 keeps shutting off while playing ps5 games?
That sounds like there’s another issue with your ps5 it shouldn’t shut off randomly
@@richardcope3077 thats not true, if your ps5 overheats its randomly shutting off without saying anything at all.
Yes it will someone on Reddit said he had same problem
Friendly reminder u guys have to use an tamper resistance t9 it has a small hole on top of the t9 bit
T8 tamper resistance also works toooo aha but yh I went through a hassle of realising difference between regular torx screwdrivers and security torx ones
Yesssir it does ✅
Is there an easy way to clear out the dust from the heat sink doing it this way ?
Was I the only one that kept rewinding the video while doing this just to have some type of comfort? 😂 It's a simple process but it makes me so nervous 😬
Idk why its so hard for the screws to come out for me. The T9 or T8 dont work
Very informative thank you
Thanks alot man great Vid ! Will report back if this stopped it from crashing on me from overheating !
Did it stop it ?
Update
@@randaIl I cleaned mine and still doesn't work lol. I think my power supply is broken
Oh thank god, I don’t have to mess with the wires! I’d never have cleaned my fan if I hadn’t found out the wires can stay in.
