PS4 Pro Teardown - Detailed Disassembly

Thank you! My PS4 was shutting down due to overheating and I had to do multiple factory resets. I used this video as a guide to take apart my PS4, clean it out, and apply new thermal paste. I found dust bunnies forming rudimentary societies and demanding sentient rights in there. Now the unit is whisper quite, even when my kids play the latest, most graphically intensive games.

The initial two screws you remove, the ones behind the warranty sticker, are torx security screws. They can't be removed without special tools that I'm guessing most people don't have lying around. Might be worth mentioning that little piece of info in the video.

[@michaelberg7201]

Actually most of the silver screws are of this type. You can in some cases use a flat screwdriver (1.5) to get them out but don't count on finishing the job that way. You'll need a security torx screwdriver of size T9.

7:25 What he doesn’t tell you is that sometimes the plug-in connected to the motherboard is glued to the battery’s connector. And you MUST disconnect from the battery itself and not the motherboard. I Ended up breaking the connector off my motherboard because he failed to be thorough here. 11:45 also failed to mention that once disassembling the disk Drive. The spinning magnetic part could possibly slide out. And he didn’t bother showing how exactly that piece could be put back. Seriously, one too many issues

stupid question but can you do a teardown of the Pro controller, can you check if Sony upgraded the battery? i have a feeling it last longer than the original PS4 controller :)

[@the.money.mentor.825]

yup ditto. nice and quiet! My OG ps4 was so loud I had to replace the thermal paste. Wasn't as bad after that. I also bought the stand for the pro and I feel like that will help with heat. This new stand is way better than the previous one and allows for alot of air to come in.

+PlaystationQUAD-Pro I start playing somewhere before midday with a full charged controller and it last me somewhere up to or even beyond midnight. It indicates being low around 10 o clock in the evening, but still manages to hold on for a few hours. I have my ledlights set to dim and my vibration is always on the highest setting. So give or take some 13 hours. I didn't own the previous PS4 controllers, so you should judge if it's lasting longer.

[@johnsells4135]

The video content is good for the most part but there is a problem I think everyone should know. You mentioned that when removing the power supply from the console that you need to be careful and not remove the part of the connector that is attached to the motherboard but the wires. I tried pulling the wires using needle nose pliers and in my case the whole thing came off and that destroyed my P/S console. What I found out after this happened was that it was much easier to remove the wire from the power supply itself. Had I known that, that's how I would have removed it because it just came off from the power supply with hardly any effort at all, I didn't have to use needle nose pliers to grab it and wiggle it I just used my fingers and pulled it off. Be careful guys because now I can't do anything with this P/S 4 console but use it as a paper weight. Thanks!

Managed to not be leftover with a screw or two as well which is rare for me. Cheers and thanks

[@GrimNoir1986]

Thanks for this full detail teardown! My pro had some power problems and would shut off playing specific games and I sent it in for repair only to wait a month to get it back with a broken disc drive and fixed power unit, I recently bought a tool to take it apart and looked up that the slim and pro disc drives are interchangeable if you trade out the ribbons and I watched your video and replaced the drive with my slims drive and I'm back to playing physical games and watching Blu-ray movies on my PS4 pro!

4k and hdr is the future

[@Jtretta]

@360Ragequit Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you want that be prepared for a much larger and more expensive console. You would need a heatsink at least twice as large as the one in this video and less obstructed air inlets and outlets. To run at 4k compared to 1080 each frame takes slightly over 4 times the work. Factor in twice as many frames and you are faced with over 8 times as much work for the processor. I have 2 overclocked gtx 1080's and they still have some trouble with 4k 60hz.

Never let mine get super dirty or anything like that but after less than a year it started overheating. Now I've had it for about 2 years and it's just literally cooking itself to death. It gets so hot it's unbelievable. Eventually it starts having errors that sends into Sony and then shortly after that the screen starts intermittently going black. After first started I cleaned it thoroughly by pulling apart using your video and even tried replacing the thermal paste that work for about a month or so then it started doing it again.

This man really made a video titled detailed disassembly and then did everything except the power supply. smh

Thanks man I recently bought a PS4 Spiderman edition that unfortunately had cockroaches inside and had to open it to fully clean it, being my first time opening any electronic I was very nervous but you explained so well even I could open it all up clean it and then close it Thank You 😊 🙏

[@2drealms196]

Dean Smith That is twice the width of its transistor. But what is the size of the apu die?

I would never do this to my own PS4 Pro but it's cool to see what's inside.

Very useful showing us what screws hold in the power supply… forget to that part in?
