hi i have a question why is my ps4 fan loud and spin fast i clean the back vent and heatsink i put some thermal paste swap the hardware i have a another ps4 that i took apart and swap the part anyway im thinking about factory reset my ps4 could it be a software issue?
You gained a subscriber 👍 long time watcher but never hit the button
@JakeSheringPlayz oh could it be that im gonna replace the fan rn thank you
@JakeSheringPlayz it could also be the model of ps4 pro cuz new ps4 pro model has no fan noise and older has loud fan noise idk if thats true or not my ps4 model number is cuh-7216B
TronicsFix why is series x easier to clean than ps5?
Just did mine after watching this. Easy explanation on how to pull it apart. Took me 10 min to pull it apart and back together. Thanks mate
Definitely cleaned my series x. Very dusty but totally worth the cleanse. Too much dust hinders performance and causes other issues
I don't even own one but I'll still watch it as it's satisfying.
Thanks for watching!

I just use a vacuum hose on the outside holes every 2 weeks to a month depending on your situation. Since I live in my sisters basement rn . I do it every week . Keep this up and u won’t have to worry about the dust sticking to the fan or any components inside the console .
I was surprised when I opened up my original ps4, to give it a cleaning, with how little dust was inside. Always good to keep the area around electronics dust free.
I have a cooling fan on the back of my PlayStation 4 slim to suck all the hot air out i noticed some slowdown without
@@bryandrobny7690 interesting. I do a fan blowing toward the console, which definitely helps with cooling. Another reason I expected the inside to be really dirty. It gets very hot without the fan but my ps5 runs much cooler, and no coil whine. Maybe I'm lucky
Does your environment have any carpeting or fabric furniture? Those usually release a lot of aerial particulates and trapped dust.
@@Kizarat yeah. And a furry dog.
My cooling system is Dobe intelligent cooling fan i bought off eBay
Keep the vids rolling. You educate so many of us, and prevent would be disasters from ever occuring. Your step by step walkthrough opened my eyes. You make it look so easy and with your step by step explanation of each moment in every step breathes confidence into your viewers. Stay Gold!
I'd be very careful about breaking that seal to open the console and only do it if absolutely necessary. I was on the Xbox team in Seattle for 8 years and I know that when people would send in OG Xbox or Xbox 360 consoles for repair and they had that seal broken, the repair centers wouldn't even touch them. They'd just send them back with a "cannot repair - warranty void" note. I don't know if anything's changed with the Xbox One or Series X as I left before those were released, but I know that breaking the seals on the older consoles definitely prevented them from ever getting repaired by MS. I can't speak to the legality of it, but I know that's how things used to work with MS repairs.
Excellent video, by the way!! I've been a huge fan since I first saw one of your repair videos months ago. So fascinating to see you disassemble and repair these devices. I can't get enough!
I moved my series X, needed a stage 1 clean. But now it's a foot clear of the floor and everything else, great vids
Surprisingly enough, this is the only console in my entertainment center that sits up vertical. I stopped setting my systems vertical after my OG Wii suffered from so many falls from around the house. But because of the shape and the fact I know it won’t go falling over by others, I feel more comfortable sitting this one up.
Mine sits vertical too and this thing is so boxy and the base is a perfect square so it won't fall over. I actually like the look of this thing when it's vertical when it's on it's side it looks weird.
It's definitely designed as a vertical console.
Thank god you uploaded this, houses are being built beside mine and the dust is wild atm
Cough series X is a better engineered console. Cough. Not interested in console wars but facts are facts.
I get so much insight and info from watching your videos Steve thank you
Fantastic video Steve, you just keep on giving 😁
Thanks 👍

How did you comment 1 day ago when it says video been up for 4 mins 🤣😂
💰💵💴💶💷💰💸💸💸
Just got my Series X recently! This is awesome!
I don’t even have an Xbox but I can’t ever miss a Tronicsfix video
I really appreciate that!
Very helpful video. Thanks. I successfully cleaned up my Series X.
It's amazing to see how easy the Xbox SX is to access the parts
Yeah that's some good design
Agreed
If your brother throw the cup of water on the floor your xbox is dead
@@izris2756 You throw a cup of water on any console it's probably dead. Especially if it's turned on.
@@smarterthanall1659 I mean on the floor like carpet because the xbox takes air from down so if your xbox is on wet carpet it is dead
I didn't know about the legal part. Awesome info man!
Seems like a lot of people don't. Glad you enjoyed!
I've discovered that you can aim some canned air between the fan blades and down through the heatsink, then you can use the flat end of a vacuum attachment and vacuum out the back, it actually spins up the fan but you can use the long red nozzle from the canned air to keep it from moving. Don't even have to take the back off haha.
You do a great job teaching!
Hey thanks!
Very nice video again. When my friend who owns a xbsx gets into overheating problems i know where to clean 👍🏻 keep up the good work
Thanks! Glad it's helpful.
Awesome video thanks for the information and breakdown of the console. Only question I ask is do you have a video for cleaning the Series S. Tha j you for the work you put into your videos.
Great video 😀👍
Awesome video. Thanks
Love the vids genius steve
Steve you should do somethings with older systems I'd like to see a xbox 360 original tear down and cleaning anyway big fan shows awesome
Yeah do that
ps3 is needed to as it has the worst flow design ever in a console...
About time Steve hit the 1M subs mark !!! I don't even know what a Playboxstation series X is but I'm subscribed ??
These videos make me really want to get into the repair business I've spent so much money replacing controllers and consoles when I should've just fixed them myself!
Fake tronics, your name would be in blue if you were real replying to a comment on your own video.
Do you recommend using dust covers? I had a mini heart attack moments ago as I live in a dusty environment and have 4 pets, I'm in energy saving mode and I do a full shutdown of the console through the settings as I thought doing a full shutdown instead of power off through the controller prevents the fan up top from running. Anyways I went to remove my cover and could slightly hear and feel the air coming out the top and had a cover on it for a day...went to power on and the power button just blinked and nothing came on the tv. Unplugged power, pressed button for 5 secs, plugged back in and it seems fine now. I just dont know if I should use a dust cover anymore though
Such a beautiful design.
I find the thing I struggle with most with the XSX is environmental dust settling on the top of the fan from sitting in the vertical position. Normally a quick blast of compressed air will clean it right out.
Yes, that's common. You've got it figured out though!
Do you recommend dust covers for the Xbox or would they block off too much airflow?
Great video!
Hello Steve, your videos are very amazing and very helpful. And you're a good guy repairing electronics... If you Can, try to fix some playstation 3 I would like to see you try to repair ps3 consoles... Think about it....
Thank you!!
My favourite thing of this channel is your smile :)
Wouldn't vacuuming the power supply potentially kill it?
A quick blast of compressed air on the top and the back cleaned it right out
Thanks a lot, helped me out, mine was nasty lmao first time cleaning it and I got it launch day 😂
a great way to prevent major dust build up is to just go over the thing with a brush every day. and maybe a light vaccume that wont annihilate your xbox components
Thanks for the vid
Would blowing air in with a canned air or compressor going to do any good or plug things up worse?
Ive been none stop watching for 6 months
My console's been picking up more dust than I thought, I've been giving it a clean every month or two
Same
Nice job Steve
Gotta give it to this console, it doesn’t attract a lot of dust at all. Had mine since launch and it has barely a spec of dust on it.
Thanks u helped me with my loud fan
What kind of brush are you using? Can any brush be used? Example a tooth brush? Thanks
I dont have one but when I do I'm glad I know!! :D

I love my series x just got my replacement one from repair center on Saturday. But when I hold my ear on the left side of the console I can almost hear a electrical buzzing not audible unless I hold my ear to it. The fan sounds real quiet. And every working but should I be worried about that noise ? Hoping to hear from you real soon sir. 🙏
What would I have learn to become a technician like you? I've been really fascinated by technology and I really want to become an expert with maintance of hardware and being able to repair consoles, PCs etc. Any tips on what courses, or any skills I would need to learn?
Always look forward to these. Even if i dont own a sexbox.
you got a chuckle out of me when you coughed "ps5"
Never use a vaccum on any computer or console unless it's a static free vacuum.
Would it be safe to put a dust filter over the vents?
Excellent video Steve thank you. Can you show how to clean Xbox Series S too?
Maybe
@@Tronicsfix pls 😗
can you use compressed air? i have some that’s meant for electronics, but is that “bad” for the console?
Awesome video!, quick question, would you recommend these air / dust filters sold in Amazon or other sites to be used in the Xbox series X?
I haven't tested any for the new consoles but I did test them for the PS4 and Xbox One and they seemed to work well (at least the ones I tested)
It’s making me sad now not having one I can’t wait till I can finally get my hands on one
What bloody tool is it to get the first screw out? I’ve tried loads but can’t find one that fits, plus I think I’m just rounding it off at this point
ALL HAIL THE FRIDGE!!! 🙌
I coincidently just performed the level 1 cleaning today... Only one month in, I was was very clean. Just a reminder that should be obvious, but some people forget: It's just important to keep the surrounding clean. I clean the piece of furniture where the console is one every single day
Hello. Will breaking the seal void my warranty if I Live in the EU?
Can you try and use a m.2 extension and try a bigger nvme I think if you cloned the original drive then expanded the user space partition with a partition tool you could probably have a 2 tb or larger nvme drive in there
Can you do one for the series s ? Thanks in advance 🤙💚
shots fired at a certain console 😂
I've heard it's bad to use vacuums on electronics because of static issues. Is that not true?
The PERFECT amount of Everything 😉
Ha, ha...YES!
Yes it's easy. I do use an air compressor, blow air from bottom no need too unscrew the thing.
I love your videos! They are interesting even tho i dont repair consoles myself. Ive really been into watching crypto farms lately tho and maybe you could try repairing an ASIC? If thats even possible
I couldn't get the middle screw for the fan to unscrew and I'm afraid if I try any more I'll strip it entirely. Everything else was good though :(
HI Theres a plastic plate over the right hand screw and i cant seem to get it to budge?
Thank you for this video, man. Really helpful. Also, is it 100% safe to use vaccum cleaners on electronic products like Xbox Series X? Are there any precautions I need to take? Thanks.
i clean my series x almost every day i just use a microfibre cloth with swiffer. But i can see there is dust on the heatsink but i dont want to open it. Because it will void the warranty.
From a uk point of view the ps5 is better to clean you can remove the fan without voiding warranty and clean though the hole there, the xbox needs to be opened up so its void.
"ehem ps5" part kills me😂
Soooo lucky,👋from argentina 🤘
Hi!
You got me at "cough PS5" 🤣
Lol!
Can you put some sort of filter on the vents to prevent insects from getting inside the console?
Depends on what kind of insects. Most insects will still get in if they really want to.
Bro how the heck u knew all that lmao. Nice vid
Does the vacuum create any problem related to static electricity?
My question exactly, I thought a vacuum was a no no.
No
I own thr ps5 disc and digital but this is still interesting you gotta do one on the ps5 for people who are to scared to hint hint me but knows how lol
I have one this will be useful
I can't understand why these consoles aren't made to have removable cases that latches in order to keep them cleaned out..These consoles are getting more and more like PCs, so they really need to have this without it voiding the warranty.
ps5 have that. You dont need to take out the warranty sticker to clean the fan.
Beside, you wont have warranty for the whole PC, you only have warranty for each specific part. If you try to open an individual part like a PSU or remove the sticker on your RAM then they will void your warranty.
I think it's great how knowledgeable he is and how he can help other people. But I believe game consoles are not really designed to be open all the time, it's easier with a PC because they're actually designed to be open, one of the things I do is I save the plastic sleeve that the console comes in, modify it a little bit and you get a free dust cover and you will never have to open your console.
So using a vacuum won't affect any of the components?
When playing a game on the series x that’s Installed on an external hard drive does it put more strain on the console ? , if I’m playing a game that’s installed to the internal memory the Xbox is Almost silent but when I play something off the external the fan seem to make a bit more noise ?
TRONICS!!!
A PS5 clean out process video will be interesting XD
Is there a way to install a dust filter over the holes?
Hi, would be cool a way to clean it without opening, especially the big fan.
nice video
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Steve! I have mine high up, stood up on a unit, it's gets pretty dusty up there unfortunately so I'm gunna need to do one of these cleans on it
Sometimes it's impossible to keep the dust out. In that case you'll want to make sure to clean it more often.
An ad and your video was playing at the same time
Can you make a cleaning video for the Xbox series S?
This will come in handy when I finally get my hands on one
Great tutorial! Keen on a collab at all my guy? Hmu!
Microsoft should make it that you can remove the backcover without losing your warranty. But anyway its easy to clean without that
Would love the same video but with PS5 please
Already did the PS5 cleaning video
Is it safe to vacuum consoles ? I heard static could break them, cheers Steve
