TronicsFix you never followed up on doing a video i suggested on an earlier video of yours about if fitting dust filters are a good or bad idea for gaming consoles, i hope you will follow up on this. thanks man.
Maybe this is a delusion, but since the last system update, my Slim is more ventilating and a lot less warm... maybe Sony changed the fan control? Before the update, the Slim was silently and really warm, now the fan's kick in much earlier.
Hmmm. Steve do you think you could make a video solely about false myths and then prove them wrong while also giving us proof on how they're false? I've noticed that in some videos you briefly debunk some myths here & there and I really really like that, but I'd really enjoy an entire video centered around the topic. Almost like a "Mythbusters" PS4/Xbox One edition.
Your videos are the best dude. No crappy loud background music. No other distracting stuff. Just right to it with clear and precise instructions. Thank you.
While other people are opening presents I'm opening my ps4 slim of 6 years this Christmas morning and man was it dirty; no wonder it was overheating! Been having recent issues of it automatically shutting off randomly and finally decided to do something about it. So grateful to finding your video; never knew I could just pop the panel off without any tools!
Hello sir, thank you so much for this video!! I am a mom of 3 with a heavily used ps4 slim that is over 10 years old.. my husband and I have been using it since before we had children. I thought it finally died today but as a last stitch attempt I decided to take it apart to clean it. Your informative video saved me a great deal of trouble. Thank you so much!!!
@@Tronicsfix please help me i have a ps4 slim there’s these black things on the cooler cover and i’m missing one and it’s driving me crazy i dont know the name of it
Omg, I didn't have tools and completely obliterated the metal plate thing around where it meets the screws. Im in disbelief in how quiet it is now, I can actually hear my breathing. I'm speechless and at the same time hysterically laughing from how amazing it is. Thank you
after a 2-3 years of use, this video helped me the most. even though I knew how to do it myself, I had to double check to make sure I didn't miss anything. of course one of my screws were pre-stripped, so I just replaced it with my screw kits. Everything is now running cool. Thank You!
For anyone who Dosent have canned air I used a hair dryer with a slim dryer head and taped off all of the opening except a little so the pressure there it works pretty good 👍🏻 Ps I never opened or cleaned a console before this helped
Got a pre owned ps4 from the shop last month. Noticed it was noisy as hell, stumbled upon this gem. Decided to try it. Yep, true enough the heat sink and the fan was dusty. Got some compressed air and the specialised screwdrivers. You can actually hear the difference afterwards. This vid is really helpful. Kudos mate! 👍🏽
Didn’t have canned air... used a rag, some water/soap, and some q tips and cleaned just the minimum that I could and it really made my PS4 quieter thank you
could have shown putting it back together, and close ups before you unscrewed anything, but as a whole very clear video this guy knows what he's doing. Thanks.
Greetings. I play Xbox One (Slim) myself but a friend of mine have a grandson, whose console is a PS4, that had begun to malfunction and this worked wonders! Kudos. Respect!
Thank you so much. My ps4 used to sound like a damn vacuum cleaner, or a rocket ship. I thought it was about to take off xD. Your tutorial helped so much. I cleaned it. It doesnt make nearly as much noise.
I really like this man he's really honest that goes a long way with me usually people in your trade are lying blagging b's you seam to be a genuine person
Went out this morning to pick up a T8 and a can of compressed air. All done after 30mins and it is running very well. Your video is by far the best on here for cleaning the slim PS4! Thanks man👍
I've had my ps4 slim for at least 3 years, and have never cleaned it... My friends are noting me that they can hear the fan of my Ps4 going constantly.
@@yourmomsleftcheek1471 I actually cleaned it after I posted that comment... Highly recommend for you to do it too, its actually very easy and your Ps4 will be noticeably quieter and wont run as hot after.
For some of the newer ps4 slim models, you will find that the some of the screws are a sort-of melted plastic screw. It was like they poured plastic inside and let it solidify to prevent you from opening it. If your console has this, be extremely careful. I used a VERY small flat-head tip and carefully chisseled underneath them until the screw driver "beheaded" the top of them. Only then could I open it enough to blow out the heat sync and fan. I'm guessing this is a way to void your warranty.
@shade_dayz_warzone8641 I did do it in the end, I used a very small flat head bit to chisel away at the plastic nibs and it worked, scratched the top a bit but so much dust cleaned out its so much quieter
Thank you. Your videos are very clear and comprehensive. I bought my first ps4 slim in 2019, the days of play edition. Its very quiet but gets very hot. And I can see why. Now I know it's just plastic getting hot. Lol Edit: I would've never thought you can go this far into it without voiding the warranty.
Thanks to this vid I cleaned my ps4 and it was dirty Af from the inside. Anyone worried about the black plastic melted bolts just get a plier and start squashing it ( but be very careful) the quality of the plastic bolt is cheap, you can just smooth it out enough to get the metal plate off but once again be very very careful doing this.
Thanks for an easy to follow and understand video. I was having the loud fan running sound for about a year, I brought my ps4 second hand, for the past week it would give warnings of overheating and to turn off the console. After watching your video and following your steps, I successfully cleaned my fan and heat exchanger, which were both horrid. Now my console runs 1,000% cooler and quieter.
Thank you, this has been extremely useful. I do this every few months now. There is a lot of dust in India and after a while the PS4 really starts to heat from clogging. This restores it back to original condition and it runs cool and quiet. By the way, my PS4 had the rivets and I had to scrape the heads the first time, but after that its quick and easy.
6:24 I just wanted to mention that I appreciated this video but when I cracked open my sons's PS4 slim with the intention of removing this metal plate I found that the 8 screws were NOT infact screws. On this model PS4 slim, an Australian release Battlefront 2 Grey CUH-2102B the 8 screws you remove at this point are all plastic pressed and so far I've not found an easy way to remove them without getting aggressive and possibly breaking them. Once out if possible I doubt they would go back in either. Big disappointment as his PS4 air intake vents and fan are quite dirty and I wanted to give it a good clean out but looks like Sony decided they don't want this plate removed at least on this model. EDIT: Just found your video on removing these th-cam.com/video/dXH-c8hkueM/w-d-xo.html You are a champion :)
I really appreciated this. I bought a Ps4 Slim for really cheap off Facebook Marketplace and it was really dirty and so I wanted to clean it to avoid problems in the future. I take care of my stuff, thanks again.
I live in the place who does not have any air conditioner or any sort of cleaner so it's very dusty and I need to clean my PS4 about every two or three months I think as soon as I hear some weird noise and after 4 years I'm still watching this video you are a big help thank you

Hey when I got to the point of actually getting to the fan there was plastic rivits holding it down please respond ASAP because my ps4 is getting very hot

Mine was the same, however you can actually reach the heat sink throw the blades of the fan if you have some canned air, you might need a light but I cleaned mine well enough, and I have the black screws too.
This guy is legend in my books I just cleaned up my ps4 by following his instructions to the letter now it runs better than it has in a long time. THANK YOU!!!
Hey bud, I've recommended your video's to anyone in the PS4 community on FB that had a problem and every time they say thank you and the video helped. Thank's for the advice bro..
Thanks for this, being a PC gamer I didn't know consoles were so helpful now. Popped the lid off, blasted the dust out with a cold hair dryer and how its purring like a kitten, one happy kiddiwink!
Holy, super video! Thank you!!! I had a very tough time finding a good video for this. Clear video, good camera, good explanation, shows you in real time. Loved it. Only thing I maybe would have added (as this is why I'm actually looking for this video) is how to clean the lens. I'm assuming there's tons of people looking for that, as it prevents the system from reading discs. I'm assuming all ut would take is a rubbing alcohol q-tip on the lens when it's all open.
Today I cleaned my PS4 slim , I got the vac and sucked out the thick blankets of dust from the sides and the hot air exit at the back , before this my PS4 sounded legit like a vacuum I’m not joking , but after this cleaning it it sounds like it’s not even on I am not exaggerating but I couldn’t have done it without tronicsfix he opened it up and showed us where the fan and the heat sink is ( I didn’t open my PS4 up I understood where they where so that helped a lot ) , long story short , tronicsfix deserves way more than 900k subs, thanks for reading.
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions. Also, what other videos do you want to see?

Dude u saved me i flipped it over that lil black piece fell out couldnt find it until 7:04 u are the man
This guy is legend in my books I just cleaned up my ps4 by following his instructions to the letter now it runs better than it has in a long time. THANK YOU!!!

Him: take a realistic look of your environment
Me: oh crap..
I noticed how my fan was almost completely clean while all the dust got right inside the cover
Thank you so much for the info! I've been meaning to deep clean my PS4 but had no money to give it to a perfessional. Really easy to do too!
Hey bud, I've recommended your video's to anyone in the PS4 community on FB that had a problem and every time they say thank you and the video helped. Thank's for the advice bro..
Umm, my screws are replaced with plastic inserts...
@@WM22 same idk what to do
7:15 im having trouble figuring out where that black metal piece goes, i flipped the consolea and it flew out
Does anyone know how to remove those black screws?
Just did this clean thank you for the tutorial, turned it on and it went pop, purchased new PS4, runs mint.. cheers
Thanks for this, being a PC gamer I didn't know consoles were so helpful now. Popped the lid off, blasted the dust out with a cold hair dryer and how its purring like a kitten, one happy kiddiwink!
Good video but I'm to scared to remove the top of my ps4 I feel like I'm going to break it
My Slim stands in an really low-dust environment, but it is good to know, how to clean it.
Glad this is helpful!
KrœnT where do you put it at
How did he manage to take off the black screws? I broke my nail while trying to take one of them off?) ): they are shapeless
Same ,without the nail part lol
I think we have a newer version of the slim
@Hot Kiss yeah...
Same here
@ Mark Money how did you get them off ?
Holy, super video! Thank you!!! I had a very tough time finding a good video for this. Clear video, good camera, good explanation, shows you in real time. Loved it.
Only thing I maybe would have added (as this is why I'm actually looking for this video) is how to clean the lens. I'm assuming there's tons of people looking for that, as it prevents the system from reading discs. I'm assuming all ut would take is a rubbing alcohol q-tip on the lens when it's all open.
Today I cleaned my PS4 slim , I got the vac and sucked out the thick blankets of dust from the sides and the hot air exit at the back , before this my PS4 sounded legit like a vacuum I’m not joking , but after this cleaning it it sounds like it’s not even on I am not exaggerating but I couldn’t have done it without tronicsfix he opened it up and showed us where the fan and the heat sink is ( I didn’t open my PS4 up I understood where they where so that helped a lot ) , long story short , tronicsfix deserves way more than 900k subs, thanks for reading.
