If the fan and the radiator of your PS4 have too much dust buildup, it will lower it’s cooling efficiency. You might end up with a noisy PlayStation because the system will turn up the fans RPM to compensate for the poor airflow. Your system might even shut down suddenly in order to protect its components.
By doing this, you will have to break the warranty seal, voiding the Sony Warranty of your console. So think wisely before starting the disassembly.
I am using a window cleaning solution and a microfiber towel to wash the dust off,..... and a soft painting brush to brush off any dust from electronic components as well as in tight spaces like the logo engravings, the buttons and so on.
For the disassembly I used a Torx T-9 bit and a Phillips PH0 bit, but from what i researched on the internet it appears that some console models have T-8 Torx screws instead of T-9, so it’s better to have both just to be sure.
You can also use an air spray, an inverted vacuum cleaner that can blow air, or a compressor to blow the dust off from the components.
I am Max from Lifehackermax and I hope this video will help you guys with your dust situation. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Hi I took apart my ps4 slim and there was barley any dust build up and I cleaned the fan. After I put it back and put on a game not doing anything the fan went up like crazy
That should not have happened. Something might have gone wrong in the cleaning process. If you took apart the heatsink from the processor you have to change the thermal paste as well. If not, maybe have your console checked out by a specialist.
This video helped me so much. No longer im at sony airlines
That is so funny 🤣!!! Thank you for your input!!! It means a lot to me! 🙏🏽 This is amazing! Glad I could help!
@@LifeHackerMax if i remove the black dots then the ps4 will lose or not?
@@LifeHackerMax plz reply me life hack
I don’t understand what you are saying Bilal. Lose what? What black dots?
@@LifeHackerMax the one at 8:32

My friend sent this vid to me, and i'm glad he did so. This helped me soo much. My problem wasn't with the fan. The console froze every time i opened something. I can't thank you enough!
You mean when opening an app, curious how cleaning can solve software issue?

You are very welcome!
Yessir ! This actually helped me a lot , I don’t hear my jet anymore lol 💪🏽💪🏽
Awesome! 👍🏼
I did this and now my playstation isn't freezing up anymore! Thank you!
Pro Tip: with the help of a $20 3D Printing Pen, you can actually reattach those little plastic “warranty seal” pieces if you’re skilled enough.
Just a fun little bit o’ advice for my fellow DIYers who also still want to maybe use their warranty for whatever reason.
This was such a great tutorial
Great video fixed my sons ps4 runs great and silent now not like a jet ready to take off
Thankfully a now have a ps5, but I tried this out for the first time to see if I could do it, and it’s absurd how dusty mine was and how removing just the surface dust made such a big difference. It’s no longer an overpowering fan being the loudest thing in the room.
Thank you so much this video really helped out a ton with cleaning out my PS4 which was ready to take off and you have gained another subscriber
your fat or slim?

Great video. You're a amazing for this 💫
You might want to clean your PS3 console. See my cleaning tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/x9io4rhCE6I/w-d-xo.html
My brothers PlayStation 4 slim has a rattling sound coming from the fan any clue what that might be
@@spaztikcuk5871 , it’s hard to say. You can either try cleaning it and see if you notice something out of the ordinary (like a broken fan blade) or take it to a shop. Cleaning it might solve the problem if something got in there.
hi, great vid. it helped my so much
Ur the best tutorial bruv
Thank you so much 😊!
Great tutorial
Finally found a good looking video with this model just did it to mine and it’s quiet asf now mine model is 2215b

Thank you so much it realy helpt
Thank you for this 🙏
yetagain great job n keep mking these cool vids i love watching these vids as told my cousin who is a boxer and said your good at wht u do, my cousin is tyson fury and our hurrie aswell too,
I can't remove the bottom Cover, because on a corner it's harder to pull it up. What should I do?
THANKS!!! 💓
Nice vid
Thank you so much
Excellent
thank you,its helpfully for me 🙃
Awesome! Thank you for your feedback! It helps me 😃!
Too good
Keep it up 💪
🔝
Thank you! I will! 👍🏼
Thx🎉
I was just nodding along thinking, oh I can do this...
Until you get to removing the power supply and whoa, that's a bit too scary for me. Is it worth it to just open the top and bottom cover and then clean whatever dust is visible/reachable from there?
That's probably the limit of what I'm confident enough to do by myself.
Or should I not do it all? :(
I saw some videos where people just blow air into the consoles air vents without taking anything apart. I guess that if you can get rid of any dust particle inside you console would be better than leaving it there. But if you are not confident opening your console or if you are scared you could break something maybe it would be better to take your console to a professional and get it cleaned properly. Good luck!!!
My power supply is not coming out after I take that one screw out. It also looks a little bit different from yours mine has a square silver piece on the back.
the smallest screw, right above the fan wont even screw back in.. do i need it?
I loved it so much
This video helped me to clean my crusty ps4 but you should've used a beter camera angle because it was pretty confusing the view from the side but I still managed to clean this old computer before I get a ps5
Thanks man. Glad you’re so community oriented. I wish I needed more of this info but I’ll put you on in the background
Thank you for the nice and clear instructions but I’m still not confident taking my ps4 apart just to clean it. Don’t want to break it or mess it up by accident. 😅
I know how you feel. It took me ages to get the courage to open up mine 🤭. There is always the option to get it cleaned by a professional, or just opening up the lid to analyze how dirty the fan is.
This video helped a lot😮😊🎉 but i couldn’t do it to the end bcs i wasn’t able to disconnect the wifi wire.. tell me how hard and how did you pull the wihi wire out?😢
They should be pretty easy to remove.
Last question: what did you use for the tiniest screw on the silver plate? did you replace it with another one?
I am sorry, I don’t recall but I did not replace any screws.
When was cuh 2216A released
Thx we have the same ps4 slim model
Awesome !!! Thank you for your comment!
I tooked apart my ps4 slim and cleaned the fan then when i put on a regular game not doing anything the fan went crazy and not even hot
Great video!! Post more!!
Thank you ☺️! Do you have something in mind?
@@LifeHackerMax any videos on how to fix controller drift issues??
Thx
Thank you👍
You are welcome! 😃
At 8:32 you said we can remove the black plastic pins but it can affect the integrity, would the screws be enough for it to be in place as I’m not sure if i should do that my PS4 Slime is dusty in the fan and heat sync
The plastic pins can only be removed by braking them. I haven’t done that. In order to get to the heatsink without breaking the pins you have to work a little more and unscrew a few more screws (like I did in the video). So it is possible to clean everything without cutting the plastic pins.
Can you please tell me is the fan same for CUH-2000 and CUH-2116B
I couldn’t say! Sorry.
What does the ps4 power supply screw look like because I think I am going to get it mixed up with something else
If I remember correctly there are 2 screws that fix the power supply and they are different from all the other screws inside the PS4.
im puttting my ps4 back and im screwing all screws but 2 of them doesnt screw all in whys that when i put that silver mirror thing
The screws are different for each hole. There is a picture in the video that should show where each screw should go.
great video. just cleaned out my sons ps4 and it was covered in dust.
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Would it damage the storage.. Or reset the whole console... Scared to unplug all the connectors inside it.
The main power socket should be disconnected first. As long as you don’t damage the ribbons, wires when connecting/disconnecting them, you should be ok. All the information is stored in a hard drive like the one you have in your Laptop 💻. The information on the storage device will not be harmed by unplugging the connectors. 👍🏼 Good Luck! Follow the video and you should be fine.
Update: Found it! It goes into the slot behind the ○ on the side with fan. Hope that makes sense.
Original: This video was amazing! I had a small black L shape piece with a circle fall out while I was removing disk drive. I have no idea where it goes or if it's even a part of the ps4 😭
Thank youuu
Amazzing work, i just wish i had you by me tbh as mine does needd a deep clean like thgat as brought mine second hand and would like try get alsorts put on it too, as i got only just a 500gb storage its a slime ps4 model, i also would like know how to put a better controler on it too instead of just a normal ps4 controller id like have a steam controller or something on be good have 3tb in a good ps4 or 4tb as i use 3 tb on mine but its a usb one i brought offline from amazzon for just £50 pounds, 8tb is lot but wrks out cheaper but gutted i didnt have money buy it as was very cheap comes in 3 diffrent partisions too, they do it on thair end in wales uk
