How To Open/Disassemble a PS4

[@MODDEDWARFARE]

IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all phat PS4 consoles are identical and depending on the model your console might have some slight differences. Like having clips instead of screws at the back 2:46 and a locking tab for the DVD drive ribbon cable. 8:09, Or even additional screws. With those models you should push down on the tab to release the ribbon cable, as it wont come free by pulling it out as it did with mine. As for the clips you can use a flat head or plastic pry tool to release them.

[@mcloudmouth7392]

I still cant open the back, I have the new model, itook out the screws but it feels likr in gonna break it when i try to take it off

[@Tsipli]

@@mcloudmouth7392 That's probably because there are clips on the side back corners

[@zacharyfleet9707]

Before watching the video I had my roommate help me with taking my system apart because he had done it to one of his systems. However we started with the top and after we couldn't figure out the rest I started the video. I think I may have accidentally unfixed the heating compound or damaged one of the ribbon cables Now my system automatically shuts off whenever I try to start a game. Please help! ;-;

[@johnpa2006]

I purchased the proper security torx bit from True Value hardware for about 15$ in a kit with a bunch of other exotic bits. I would prefer not to break the screws if I can avoid it. I had to open my original PS4 and put tape over the touch sensor for disc eject and that "fixed" my phantom disc eject with beep issues. Also I open it and clean out the fan with canned compressed air. But I never took out the power supply when I did that, I will take it out next time I clean it. I bet there is a lot of dust bunnies deep in there ! Thanks for posting this video.

[@mannyfran8024]

You can barely tell my son's ps5 is on. His ps4 sounded like a jet. Did everything here except the motherboard. Since there is no separate fan on the heatsink, I saw no need to remove it. Now it sounds great. Thanks 4 the video.

[@polardabear]

The fan is much larger than in the PS4. And don't put the console into a small place or it will collect a lot of dust and breath in warm air.

[@polardabear]

@@TheJsaroukos+ Don't lie, my friend won a Xbox series x from a quiz and i bought the PS5 with the discdrive. We compared the consoles while playing Red Dead 2. Both were on the same tv top vertically. We played for 2 hours and tested the heat and how loud they were. The Xbox series x was louder because the fan is located right by the top holes and the fan is the same size as in the PS4 slim so the PS5 was quieter. For heat both were the same temperature but Xbox was little warmer because of its super compact design (the components are packed into a ball and that's not a good thing). The PS5 was cooler thanks to its larger heatsinks and liquid metal (not to be confused with the thermal paste)

@@legin3753 it depends, but usually the fan isn't the problem, you've got two options, either clean it from dust and clean the radiator -which isn't shown in the video- or replace the thermal paste if the console is old, use any known brand thermal paste with 8 w/mk and above, and you can even use thermal pads from grizzly but it's a bit harder to apply.
