      I doubt this lasted, ngl once it gets to this stage lads it's time to throw the PS4 away if the noise bothers you. No amount of cleaning lasts more than few weeks at this age, even the thermal paste only helps for a few months at best. If you live in a place with cold winters...it's a great way to heat up a small room btw, entertainment without needing the heating.

It took me a while to thoroughly clean it. Every day it made a noise when I played any game. Now I can’t even tell that it’s on and it loads faster. Thanks man I appreciate the step by step.

    I cleaned my Ps4 after 7 long years, It was so, fulfilling doing it. I cleaned it so well, even if i put me ear next the ps4, I still can't hear loud noises. My fan wasn't that dirty, but my power supply litreally had so much durt inside it was pointless to clean, it made no difference. But still if you spend a little bit if time, you learn of lot of things along the way, as you go. I do recommend getting the right screwdriver, because if you don't have it, those security screws ain't coming off.

    When putting my power supply back in, the fit felt a little tight. The console would not turn on. Turns out, there are 2 silver prongs sticking up next to the power supply connector. Mine were slightly bent and both inserting into the same slot. Be sure they have the proper gap between them and are not bent. Once I adjusted the gap, the power supply inserted smoothly and the console is working normally.
    Hopefully this helps someone.

    @johnnymcfettsack3552 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1420

    When I re-assembled my ps4, it did not turn on again. Only the blue light blinked for a short time. How I fixed it: After I removed the power supply, the two silverish metal pins that go straight up were bent towards one another, so that they went into the same hole of the power supply. They need to be separate, as you see in the video and go into different holes of the power supply, so I bent them apart again. May this help someone who runs into the same problem. Happy gaming.

      I recently took my PS4 to a repair shop, they put in a faster HDD (7200 rpms). They said the original Korean drive is not that good and dies after a certain time. He also cleaned it, I just got a new power cord for it. I have it sitting on my glass shelf but it's not getting the best airflow. So now I brought it down and I'm hoping it powers on and stabilizes. I've been having random start up and shut down issues. Now the fan shoots up, it beeps twice and it powers off.

      I never let it run when I'm not playing.

      Never had any problems.
      If you take care of them they'll last.😊
      Years ago, My roommate had a ps4. He never turns it off. He says it's bad for the hard drive. The thing would constantly whine in agony.
      I finally convinced him to get an SSD. At least the whining stopped!
      But, it collects so much more dust over time.
      I'm sure his is long dead now.

    It's FICKEN amazing. I haven't opened my PS4 since it was bought in around 2015. I peeled off those void stickers and got to work as you instructed and my god. The dust. There was freaking dust caked up like a bunch of gunk in LAYERS and then the roaches... Oh those dead dehydrated roaches. After a disgusting time trying not to breathe this brown dust and roach carcasses, a little compressed air here and there, I muted my TV and MY GOD. There is no sound. My PS4 is making r2-D2 noises as if it's able to compute at it's normal speed again, I'm so happy to be able to hear myself think with my PS4 on and not have this jet airplane noise just whirring away in the background. I cannot wait to start playing siege right now after a good old joint. Thank you good sir I'm freaking ecstatic.

My son got this ps4 when it first came out and it’s never been cleaned! The fan was packed full of dust, it sounded like a chopper and it even quit playing his games recently. Easy to follow instructions! It fit back together fine and you can’t even hear it running! Playing his games fine now, I am so happy!!! Thank goodness for TH-cam :)

    This worked like a charm! Thanks man!
    Just an FYI though: My PlayStation had two pins connecting the power supply to the motherboard which made it a bit tricky to take it out and put it back in, so be careful not to bend those pins! The pins are placed next to the screw on the bottom left corner. All you have to do to get the power supply out is pretty much as in the video, but as soon as the top left corner is free you have to pull the bottom left corner straight up. When putting the power supply back in it doesn't slide easily back in. You have put it back in at an angle and GENTLY push it down on the bottom left corner. Once again - be careful not to bend those pins!

    This really worked, now I honestly cannot hear anything!! (Unless muted and the room is quiet you can hear the gentle whirring noise)
    Best tip I would recommend is, just try to move the dust with a q tip to loosen the clunks, then use compressed air to blow it all out.
    Honestly I'm stoked by how quiet it's gotten

      Don't use a vacuum cleaner on it again. I did that with my ps3 and fried the damn thing. I'm assuming from static electricity of the air being sucked through it. Now I was using a shark so it definitely sucks harder than a hoover but just be careful. Now it's 10 years later I still cry myself to sleep every night..

    Thanks, your advice fixed it for me. My PS4 was freezing up, and i had to reboot it for it to work. Mine was full of dust. Instead of taking the power supply out, I stuck a leaf blower into the exhaust-and blew out the dust through the fan. Works great now.

  • @shearobi2421
    @shearobi2421 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    If possible, use a vacuum with a hose and brush attachment to extract the dust, rather than blowing the dust further in and throughout the system. Using that much compressed air can cause more harm than good. Micro fibre cloths also work great for picking up dust.
    I hope this helps someone!

    • @bluedash24
