How to Clean PS5 Console Quickly, Safely and Without Losing Your Warranty

#shorts #ps5 #ps5howto #playstation #ps5tips #playstation5 #dualsense #gaming In this video, you will learn how to easily and safely clean the game console PS5 from dirt and dust at home.

[@JMaher393]

You cant void the warrenty anymore... Due to Right to Repair and the law under The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, taking the console apart is okay. Its only voided when you break something

[@C0yf1sh]

Yea plus eventually you will have to take it apart anyways bc these methods will eventually work less and less just due to dust clogging the cooler fins

[@JMaher393]

@@C0yf1sh Yeah, but Im just saying that you can take it apart and it wouldnt void any warranty unless you broke the console in the process lol. I am glad the PS5 is easy to take apart to get the fans and vents

there actually a sticker on it that it says something like removing this voids the warranty but at that point your getting into the guts of the system

Absolutely do not wiggle wire connectors by the wire, you run a massive risk of them snapping. Gently push up from both sides of the connector

[@0verfast]

It’s super easy for real a 13yo kid can do it (I m 14yo and I did it with my ps4 which is actually even more harder)

[@johnathanstanley3791]

When you take the fan off, make sure you know exactly which screw you took out and where because that same screw has to go into the same exact spot or else you’ll be sitting there for another hour or two trying to figure out where four screws go. They are all different sizes and so you don’t accidentally break anything they need to go back into the same spot!!!

[@0verfast]

Well seen bro 👍🏽

[@chentez.3941]

Short screw goes at 10 o clock, long screw goes at 3 o clock, and 2 medium sized ones go on the bottom slots

[@obiwonkenobi]

This is all good stuff but if you really want clean your ps5 you have to take out an additional 100+ screws to access the heat sink. Sony built this thing like it has some secret sauce hidden inside

This will only work for so long before you'll need a complete service - but its still a good way to keep on top of it for sure! Also very important to brush the vent holes on the PSU because it can be mistaken for liquid metal problems if it starts randomly shutting off

[@xero_c-1373]

Do not use compressed air. Compressed air condensates and liquid forms inside the can. That liquid will mess up the innards of the PlayStation when the fan starts spinning, which in turn will throw the liquid to the more sensitive and crucial parts of your console

Gotta be a goddamn engineer. I had to install a storage unit to increase my systems memory. I was terrified that I was messing it up. By the time I was done I felt like I was about to get my damn engineer diploma.

If I were the manufacturer of the console, I would put a filter in the air intake and clean it monthly... I think it's a great idea and the inside of the console stays very clean.

Attention!!! Do not forget to blow air deep in the ps5 way at the bottom. 9 outa 10 times the power supply is critically clogged which will overheat and shut down your ps5. Inside the fan hole and way down. Use a flashlight.

[@colonelradec5956]

Overheating ps5s ‼️🎉 pro tip. If you remove the fan you have full access to the power supply and heatsink. Heres how to fix your ps5. Which if you have a ps5 shutting off or overheating its like 90% that. Other 10% if the time the liquid metal needs spreading on the chip cause its dried up or has moved off it from gravity/ rough handling. Anyways basically unscrew the fan with a star screwdriver with a hole or use a pliers something. Get the fan out just enough to be out of the hole. Then get your flashlight and look down in the hole the fan was in. Look to see if the power supply holes are full of dust. If your ps5 is verticle its all the way at the bottom opposite the fan hole. If them tiny holes are dusted blow them out with air. Canned or compressor. If they are clogged thats usually guaranteed to shut your ps5 off from heat without even a warning many times. Then look at the heatsinks. Theres a bunch. Half the ps5 is a heatsink. Blow them out with canned air or an air compressor. Both the power supply and the heatsinks. Use a brush if you need or something similar on the heatsinks since they sometimes get real thick caked on gunk if you smoke or have pets. And thats basically it. Most of the time this fixes an overheating ps5. Or a ps5 shutting off after awhile randomly or after playing a real ps5 game which raises heat much faster.
