@@chocobabiii1002mine is also doing the same thing since yesterday, it will just shut off and I have to switch it off at the plug and back on again to get it to come back on, I have a strange feeling it’s the new firmware update causing this issue
@@xSinphony it turns out that my fan wasn't spinning. I changed it out and now it's working again So maybe you can remove the cover, start up a game and see how well the fan is spinning
@@chocobabiii1002 once u take apart the fan if you look all the way to the bottom with a flashlight you'll see another ventish looking thing. If it's clogged that's where the actual problem is. Unclog and clean that as much as possible. It's hard without removing the rest of the system, but if you're like me, you don't want to do allat lol.
When you take the fan off, make sure you know exactly which screw you took out and where because that same screw has to go into the same exact spot or else you’ll be sitting there for another hour or two trying to figure out where four screws go. They are all different sizes and so you don’t accidentally break anything they need to go back into the same spot!!!
I did it, after a year of playing the power pack was totally clogged and blocked with dust, it took me hours to put it back together because I kept putting the wrong screws in the holes.
On me 😂 I remember back in school I thought i was bout to start a iphone screen repair business, I tried mine first and never could put it back together😅 Yea i’d rather pay someone!
This will only work for so long before you'll need a complete service - but its still a good way to keep on top of it for sure! Also very important to brush the vent holes on the PSU because it can be mistaken for liquid metal problems if it starts randomly shutting off
If I were the manufacturer of the console, I would put a filter in the air intake and clean it monthly... I think it's a great idea and the inside of the console stays very clean.

@@DengueBurgerI NEVER cleaned my ps4 and it works the same when it was new but my ps5 4 months was not letting me play ps5 versions of games cuz it overheated 😢

@@WindHashiraPeople damage cables because they probably pull on the wires, you have to pull out on the connector(The white piece that the wires are feed into.) as the wires are thin and relatively fragile.
I always just get to the fan underneath, unscrew everything but don't disconnect the wires or anything, then use a cleaning toothbrush to get the dust off the metal grills, usually a thick layer directly over it, clean the fan with conpressed air out of the console so it doesn't blow inside, then hook it back up and done.
I have always trusted Sony products, but I encountered an issue with my PS5 recently. I decided to clean it thoroughly and gave it a proper wash with soap instead of just brushing it. I believed that for a 100% clean, washing was necessary. After drying it under sunlight, however, my console is no longer turning on. Could someone please explain why this is happening
I'm not lying but every ps5 fan which is used gets tgis much dust, but nit that yellow, its because it collects dust real fast, my house is pretty clean everyday and it's still dusty the ps5 but the dust isn't yellow
True, they are. I wanna completely clean mine but it's a £570 system 😬. I guess it'll be easy because taking the ps1 apart is simple. Not being racist but the Japanese are smart in construction.
Torx 8 will take the fan screws out, right? If I just clean both fans and a little of the inside from where the fans were removed, is that enough to stop it from shutting off after hours of game play?😢
What screwers do you use? I want to clean mine. I already have 2 cans of compressed air, brushes, and know how to open the ps5, but I lack the screwers.
My ps5 was turning off by itself so I had to clean it. Took the panels off and just blasted all the vents with compressed air. Didn’t remove the fan or disconnect any wires. Didn’t use q tips or anything else. Just wiped it down with a polishing cloth and that was it. Now it’s runs just fine.
I'd recommend to leave the console in a open area when I went to clean mine there was hardly any dust after a year I had it for and it looked nothing like that
I kept hotboxing my room and my Ps5 completely turned off due to dust build up … I opened it up and cleaned it throughly using Q-tips Rag (dry) Computer cleaner I cleaned it all up I kept the fan plugged in but cleaned it throughly. removed the 2 vents on each side . Put everything back into place including the 4 screws holding the fan guard. Word of advice don’t apply extra pressure when opening the Ps5 cover clips might break also on the vent covers . “It’s always 4:20 somewhere in the world” 🌎 🌍 🗺

Do not use compressed air. Compressed air condensates and liquid forms inside the can. That liquid will mess up the innards of the PlayStation when the fan starts spinning, which in turn will throw the liquid to the more sensitive and crucial parts of your console
Attention!!! Do not forget to blow air deep in the ps5 way at the bottom. 9 outa 10 times the power supply is critically clogged which will overheat and shut down your ps5. Inside the fan hole and way down. Use a flashlight.

@@sean3281 i mean it depends on the power and the size, but for the most part it has a higher chance of damaging parts compared to just taking off the fans and cleaning them.
My question…. What conditions do you live in for this to happen? I just changed out my covers today after 2 1/2 years of owning a ps5 and the fans had little to no dust in them
Wow you must keep your home spotless mine isnt that great it still had a little dust inside not as bad as this video. And i only took it apart to clean one other time since ive owned it.
@@AyoitsC I’m trying to vacuum my room more often (where my ps5 lives) and make sure my ceiling fan stays dusted more often as well to be mindful of my electronics.
@@jat9926 yeah it really helps! We have a little bird so it makes us make sure everything is clean because she has tiny lungs. It’s still good to clean your fans in the PlayStation I’ve just never seen anything close to that after over a year of it being closed up
Really depends or where your console is. Horizontal and in a place where it can breath are really big pros. For example i just cleaned it first time inside and all in like 2 years. Just a little amount of dust.
If the screw isn't moving (I have the correct screwdriver as it worked for the rest) what should I do? I believe there might be a problem with the other two screws.

Do not use compressed air. You will pack dust into smaller compartments of the system. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment.
Where do you get the vacuum
True that's what I thought
Not true at all i been using it for my ps5 since launch and its fine
@@FutureTek9209I was gonna say I just cleaned my shit with one of them air cans Is be upset
Using compressed air will push dust further in people are stupid been saying this for years people keep doing it though.
1) you’re blowing air into the unit.
2) you’re tugging on the actual wires to pull out the power plug for the fan.
It's,a compresd air duster slash vacuum do can blow n also suck up dust lol
N yes puln on wires is dump push both sides gently nnupwards at connecter instead
That's just bad design by Sony to be fair the connector should've been a bit longer so you can actually pull it
This helped mine.. Appreciate the video.
Glad to hear it!
Hey guys. Id recomend to put the screws in the same order somewhere Cause each screw Is different size.
I just cleaned mine today was well needed
Thanks a lot for the video. Very clear and easy to follow. My ps5 looks brand new again 👍🏼👏🏼
Brush and small vacuum... Done
If you don't want dust like this in your ps5, make it Horizontal and you won't regret it
7 months later and this is exactly what I do. I never have had it vertical
Not true at all. Go take yours apart and see lol
I have it horizontal, really low amount of dust consideribg that there is alot of electric devises next to it
Mines horizontal and still dusty af
@@christph3118 What abt the space around it, where you live and how often you clean
don’t ever grab anything by the wire unless u wanna destroy it
Crazy how a fan gets dirty when it is designed to blow outwards.
You forget to clean the power supply vent holes. That part is somthing that should be done annually.
You still have the heatsink that's on the motherboard to get to if you want to do it right. This is a temporary band aid clean up.
I have not the balls to remove the fan …
Dont.. I heard people complaining on another video that they damaged their cables 😮
Don’t. If it gets bad, let someone with experience do it
@@WindHashiraPeople damage cables because they probably pull on the wires, you have to pull out on the connector(The white piece that the wires are feed into.) as the wires are thin and relatively fragile.

Also to help prevent dust. Get and use a dust cover when not using the ps5
Did your ps5 start shutting off?? Mine is nowhere near that dirty and mine is Randomly shutting off.
Yep mine too, any solutions?
Hey mate what is the name of the screws they use? So I’m able to get the write sized and shape screw driver? Cheers
They are normally Torx screws and I believe they still are, you can go online and buy a torx set they always come in handy now and again

Torx 8 will take the fan screws out, right? If I just clean both fans and a little of the inside from where the fans were removed, is that enough to stop it from shutting off after hours of game play?😢
It should be enough. If you do that, your ps5 should last for a long time.
How can a PS5 fan get that dirty?!
All fans get dusty....
@@WoWBowz agreed
Because people live like pigs
People keep in on carpet or in spaces without good air flow.

Kinda funny thinking Hill is is in Guru DM talking about his career steps 😂
you can actually open it all the way without voiding the warranty because the warranty can't be voided anymore
Well it's been 4 years, guess I'll clean it now
Use the makeup brush, it covers more area, it's soft and it won't damage the components
If you're going to pull your console's pants down, make sure to give it a full blow.
What tool did u use to take off the fan cover that is screwed on ?
do NOT pull the wire connectors by the wire. Not only that, you're just scattering dust particles in your PS5.
I removed my fan and cleaned now there's a freaking whining noise and I had to go buy a new fan.😂

What screw head do you use to remove the fan screws? Like the tiny ones.
You forgot a important spot, that masch plate below the inside ,from the power supply

You should use a vacuum instead of compressed air, compressed air can push the dust deeper into the Playstation, vacuum cleaner will suck it all out
What vacuum do you use?
So, just taking the fan apart avoid my warranty I got it from GameStop
I just open the covers, and hoover the fan both sides and vents once every 8 months, seems to be sufficant.
Are you sure the warrant will still be usefull when you open a screw ?
What is the correct name & size of the tool that you need to
remove the four screws of the fan.?
Any universal phone disassembly kit will be fine for you. It will have all the popular sizes
Instructions not clear, now my car is on fire!
Will running the fan under water damage it?
Success rate 10%
Failure rate 90%
So basically there’s a 90% chance it’ll be damaged
How often should it be cleaned?
Annually at least
If the screw isn't moving (I have the correct screwdriver as it worked for the rest) what should I do? I believe there might be a problem with the other two screws.
What do I use for the screws???
It's insane how fast the ps5 gets dirty. They should have a screen to block the dust.
