How to Clean PS4 Fat - PlayStation 4 Teardown & Cleaning

[@cardona13]

1 year later and you still helping people out and this video worked as a charm very good job and thank you

[@lazylegs15]

By far the best teardown, cleaning and buildup for ps4. Appreciate it!

[@hettab3665]

The comments being recent makes me believe I can do this on my own without destroying my live (my ps4). I bought my thermal paste now to open and clean. Thank you sir for this extremely helpful video.

[@YesterdaysTech]

Be confident 💪 you’ll succeed 😂 Good luck!

[@Userxg548]

Weird right?

[@bmsuperstar1]

Did you do it? How'd you managed with the flat cables? Did you break those little wingy clippy things?

[@orbazel]

Been playing RDR2 on my 9 year old PS4 and having to turn the volume up to offset the Harrier Jump Jet noise. Now it’s clean, I can hardly hear the fan at all. Great video, thanks for posting.

[@IdealistOne]

Same goes to me..playing rdr2 on my ps4 fat makes so much noise..i'll try to clean it myself later..

[@fauxdoh]

I would recommend against taking apart the power supply as a general rule of safety, capacitors can still hold charge even when the device is off and unplugged. This rule generally comes from the PC building realm, however, I would still treat any electical component that has a PSU like this one with caution and wouldn't open it.

[@mohdrimaz5793]

What a pussy sad for you hope you be men someday boy

[@ifediohiaeri]

I watched and followed your step-by-step instructions and I fixed my overheating PS4. The amount of debris I found inside after over 10 years of purchase was alarming. It works like a charm now and the fan blows quietly now. Thank you so much.

[@YesterdaysTech]

Glad to hear that

[@xerix7772]

followed everything, now PS4 is clean and quiet, thanks for a detailed video!

[@bmsuperstar1]

Thanks a bunch. I followed your instructions to the T, and everything seems perfectly in order. In fact, you wouldn't believe the difference it makes in noise reduction. It's quite amazing actually. My PS4 went from a jet engine to silent humming. And it wasn't even THAT dusty. Thanks again. You're the man. 💪

[@YesterdaysTech]

Glad to hear that

[@bmsuperstar1]

@@YesterdaysTech You bet. 👍

[@bigbomb5904]

5:08 there isnt a screw there

[@transferendum_nomen_meum]

I almost miss having a jet engine in my living room 😂 At least i can hear my games again without cranking the tv up or using a headset.

[@brasilguy4046]

thanks dude i felt like a geek when i finished

[@YesterdaysTech]

😂

[@takyjoy2461]

For the ribbon cable, youre supposed to press down on the handle not pull it back. And you missed to put in 2 philips screws for the blu ray drive when you were re-assembling it.

[@loungelizardsss]

Just got a second hand PS4 for my daughter, fan was aweful, dude said he had taken it apart and cleaned it, but not like this. 🤣, just finished, using your video to help for reference. Perfect, runs quiet now. Thanks for a perfect, clear video. 👍👍

[@freudz]

Thanks bro! No more planes leaving my living room. Also replaced de thermal paste. Nice to have it more silent. Still noisy with some more heavy games but thats fine. Thanks again

[@YesterdaysTech]

It’s quite natural to be a bit noisy in high demanding games, at this point this console is 10 years old in terms of technology... I’m glad it helped, have fun! 🕹

[@dustincocking5141]

Very helpful. Cleaned my old console in no time at all. Thanks!

[@anthonykovalak4826]

Anyone else’s WiFi screw all the sudden not long enough? Also thank you very much for the video!!! Edit: nvm it wasn’t seated properly

[@JohnGatsbyThe3rd]

My ps4 just gave me a warning about it getting too hot for the first time ever since i bought it in 2015, I think its time to clean it up.

[@zenay66]

Excellent video. Very easy to follow. Thank you!

[@johnnyplto5592]

i love your voice, extremely relaxing

[@bmsuperstar1]

Yeah, like he's from the Metro games. 👌😀

[@warmasterchief]

Amazing guide! This is the best one i've seen!!!

[@Boykingrei]

[@thecarrieshot6411]

Thinking about potentially sending it to get cleaned. Idk if I want to do all this, though my ps4 is from 2014 and never been cleaned

[@Thevillionaire]

Great video! I just save my self a 65 bucks watching and doing step by step

[@blaqfc]

Great video!! Deserved a sub 🎉

[@Blue_Mouse]

My thermal paste order will be here tomorrow and I will attempt this for the first time, lets hope I don’t have any missing pieces or it dosen’t break🙏

[@balkanlove7558]

Can someone help me with blu ray, so I connect everything but in the end the blu ray won't accept my cd. already every ten seconds it ejects even though there is nothing inside

[@Mini_dragon_fr]

[@talalqasim9250]

What about the thermal paste u won’t put it back?

[@martinp9705]

Thanks for the great refurb!

[@Kb2slick]

Why do I 3 extra bolts

[@87hazardpuppet87]

thanks for the video, successfully cleaned mine today, no more fighter jet sound. as for the ribbon, while pressing the metal tab on the connector, i can pull out the ribbon without any damage. and while doing all this, i change my cmos battery too, because there is some rust already on the battery. anyway thanks again.

[@takyjoy2461]

Nah you would need a T9

[@maxarmy3917]

I just cleaned my ps4 and added thermal paste cuz it was nothing left on it. Before cleaning if seemed like it wanted to fly even with rocket league playing now i startet warzone seems like it's off no noise no nothing. Thanks

[@danialkurd1973]

Thank you very much I really appreciate that , this video helped me a lot to clean my 8 years old ps4 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@JoaoRyanPlim]

Thanks for your video. Cheers from Brazil

[@billymilly2164]

I feel ill break my console doing all this 😅

[@austinteal3645]

[@sujalkashyap898]

Brother my PS4 does not have corner 2 screw MY PS4 HAVE ONLE 2 SCREW IN MIDDLE HELP PLZZ

[@krystiansieracki6204]

You have a newer CUH-1200 model, the one in the video is an older model, there is videos around for yours.

[@chrisbanda7298]

Hey I really seem to have botched it. I have no taken it apart 3 times and it won’t boot back up again. Should’ve never touched it lol. Any ideas?

[@YesterdaysTech]

It doesn't boot up or it doesn't turn on? There's a difference. If it doesn't turn on, you assembled it incorrectly so you should check the connector once again

[@FBJ_EDITX]

Is changing thermal paste necessary? Plzz raply

[@YesterdaysTech]

Not mandatory but highly recommended

[@D.B.M.02]

What r the screw drivers types i need ??

[@takyjoy2461]

T9 screw driver

[@crowley5583]

My broke ass watching this video

[@hamzahd2345]

Sir please help me with tools idk what they called

[@YesterdaysTech]

Torx T8 and Phillips PH0

[@hahahsj177]

can i open without replecing the termal paste?

[@YesterdaysTech]

Yes, but replacing thermal paste would be better

[@chrisbanda7298]

I followed step by step.. now my ps4 turns on for 3 seconds, makes a loud exhaust sound and tries to accept a disk, then shuts off. Now what?

[@neverrisk8348]

Sounds Like an issue with the Disk Drive. Look for the cable If its Connected properly

[@weebtraveller]

Thank you very much for this guide :)

[@VitchAndVorty]

Omg, it's so fucking complicated... Screw it. I will pray that my PS4 won't get dirty or whatever...

[@YesterdaysTech]

Sooner or later all consoles get dirty

[@NZotyoka81]

I just broke my 4 pin power supply cable cause mine was stuck into the socket since it had never been removed yet. 😩

[@bmsuperstar1]

Shit, man. I was just about to take my PS4 apart when I came across your comment. That's very discouraging.

[@muhannadabdelghaffar8619]

Do i need to put thermo paste on the processor?

[@YesterdaysTech]

Yes

[@nicklespale22]

4:09 I need to know on a scale of 1 to 10 how worried I should be, cause I was prepared to buy a new disc drive entirely when I just might need the cable. As it DOES seem quite impossible not to break, I ended up chipping both left and right ends to that exact same degree. There's no damage to the connectors, just a small chip off the corners and my dumb ps4 can't detect the drive anymore. Idk why these stupid console makers always put these cheap-a ribbons in the worst positions held down with the worse locks that are bound to break each and every time!

[@nicklespale22]

Nevermind just solved it! For anyone having issues with the disc drive not being detected anymore, try pulling it out again, becareful lining it back in place but give it a good push to the very back of the socket so that the black and red lines on each end reach outline of the white sockets. Turns out that little piece that chips off the end of the strip holds it as far in as possible. To my knowledge, the side connected under the power supply may peak out a bit more and still be okay. Make sure the half of the strip on top is ALL the way in to the line!

[@YesterdaysTech]

I'm glad you solved it, ribbon cables indeed requires some patience and lots of attention

[@int02h]

⁠@@nicklespale22by "giving the push to the very back of the socket" do you mean the connection of the ribbon cable at the top of the drive? I inserted it but it feels kinda loose there. That's why probably my drive is not detected. Just wanted to check that I understood your comment correctly.

[@Livingmylifetothefullest-t4x]

I only have 2 crews at my back

[@christian714]

How many grams (thermal paste) needed

[@YesterdaysTech]

Around 0.5g should be enough

[@americanchicken9043]

the wifi cable just snaped right in two, my ps4 is clean now ig but no tutorial on how to disconnect it is not hepful, ive seen a connection like that and didnt know how it went Edit: Sorry for being rude i fixed it i think

You can’t clean the fan without disassembly
