PS4 Slim Detailed Assembly - Thermal Paste Replacement

[@samuelnatal3221]

I love watching this guy. He is so patient and shows you every step. In my book thats how a professional does their job. Always gets a thumbs up from me.

[@dreadonarival64]

Absolutely. This man has taught me everything I know and I am beyond thankful

[@Erthzzs]

I'm going to be honest. This has shown me how to assemble it and made me learn drastically, thank you. As a young teen it's been really helpful and saved Soo much money. Thank you!😀

[@willnicholson6883]

Just finished taking my PS4 apart and putting it back together to clean. I love how you went through this video, I couldn’t have done it on my own. Thank you so much!

[@rattletooth]

These two videos were so incredibly helpful. Not only did I get to clean years of dust from my ps4, but it fixed the disc reading issue I was experiencing. Thank you so much!

[@ХанКрум-ц7ь]

I put it back together with less screws than I took it apart with. That means I’m better than Sony’s engineers….right?

[@Cctechteach]

@user-my2is5mm5j I can't take apart any electronic and have 0 screws left at the end. I intentionally left a few out of an old hp laptop cause they're were maybe 100 screws holding in the mother board

[@adityatheyoutuber9886]

I followed your both assembly and disassembly video including thermal paste...turns out that you made me do it really fine...thanks really great video...you saved my money...love from India..god bless

[@Tronicsfix]

Glad this helped!

[@damien_rsa24]

I thought my ps4 was done for😭 I can't thank you enough my man, I now know how to take it apart and put it together again, cleaned it out, works perfectly.

[@PutNameHere123]

I'ma be honest with you, your console has less screws than mine, I have around 4 extra. I took my console apart using your disassembly video, I used a pocket knife for the Philipps screws, and needle nose pliers to grip the "special" screws and tediously unscrewed them, didn't strip one screw. I'm no professional, but I'm a smoker and live in a basement, eventually I got tired of my console sounding like it was getting ready for a Nascar race. I bought it used, and turns out they never took it apart as the sticker and everything was intact. Putting it back together I did manage to end up with 2 extra screws a black and silver, even with placing them exactly in the order I took them out, however honestly I have never heard this thing so silent, and it doesn't get hot anymore. I've been having these problems since I got it, but they only got worse, so thank you for the help with this video, man. I greatly appreciate it.

[@goblininferno460]

Thank you so much for this video and your teardown video. After watching your teardown video I got curious and went a little too far than what I was comfortable with. I wasn't sure if I could put it back together but with your help, I was able to and it still works I'm so glad.

[@baboon81choc]

Thanks for your videos. My son and I took apart his PS4 and cleaned all the dust and reapplied heatsink compound as we noticed the fans spinning up a lot. Great experience we both learned lots and the satisfaction when put back together, the PS4 started up fine. Appreciate the videos. Good stuff!

[@simonevilucchi4758]

Damn, without your help I wouldn't have figured out how to disassemble, change the thermal paste and reassemble my PS4 slim. Thank you for your beautiful guide!1 A little difficulty that occurred to me was that sometimes I don't know where to screw up some screws, specifically those of the plate up to the motherboard (the silver screws), because there are two types woth different lengths. Except for this little detail, this video and the previous (the teardown) are literally a life saver. They allowed me to save more or less 90 euros! So, thank you sincerely! 💪🏼😊

[@BStateham]

Thanks so much for your detailed videos. I used your PS4 Slim teardown, HDMI port replacement and re-assembly videos to fix a friends PS4 Slim. It was my first time trying to do surface mount,and I did a pretty nasty job of it, but it works and the PS4 slim is back in service.

[@Brzsteve86]

Perfect amount of thermal paste

[@BahchaK]

Should mention that Black screws are going in to the motherboard, white screws are in to the body (plastic) and the very small white screws connect between the metal plates.

[@beszt95]

Very good vid! Just put my brother's 4 year old PS4 back together, hope it works. Tested for power, it got it, so good enough for me haha

Great Contin great explanation messages well received. I have a PS4 they had over three years and it look like my TV was having a seizure or something and then my PS4 wouldn’t start the next day; I hope I just need to clean it thoroughly so I’m gonna take it apart now cleaning with the cold air spray hopefully that does it but if it does not really going to try to take it apart and do what you’re doing or send it into Sony or yourself!?! Ty.

[@simon_969]

Remember to turn the screw opposite way of screwing in until you feel the screw slot in the threads then you can screw it in without stripping the threads

[@scrappybobbarker5224]

Thank you very much for the fantastic tutorial.

[@JohanBaez5877]

Please help with this: Does anyone here know what brand is recommended and what size in millimeters for the thermal pads of the ps4 slim ???? Thanks in advance

[@coolsteve1342]

1mm, doesn't matter the brand

[@legostarwarsrulez]

Eh, when my warranty expires I might do this. I've done a good number of laptop teardowns just for the fun of it, this looks about the same difficulty, maybe a little easier.

[@infinitystorm7458]

Going to attempt a thermal past replacement end of the month hope it goes smoothly 🤞🏻

Hey I did everything right only to find 3 small thermal pads from the under of motherboard . Should I be concerned what are the long term affects ??

[@Harrypotter378763]

Hi was wondering if this thermal pad would work with the PS4/slim/pro great videos

[@sherlanmamaril7368]

Is it okay u didn't clean the remaining thermal paste on those cpctors? I know it's not conductive but can those produce more heat?

[@josipkolovrat7327]

I wanted to ask the same…

[@rajahussain8835]

I left the old paste but cleaned the fan, motherboard and heat sink it blows out cold air even when I play a game so it’s cooler to be more specific half of the heat sink was caked with dust I just used a brush to clean it. I did the same with my old Xbox 360 because it was getting soo hot especially when I was playing gta V.

[@625JoeMercy]

Great video bro! I hope it starts on jajaja

[@ryans413]

Wow it's pretty well built. Sony always finds away to cram everything into a smaller box.

It seems to be built pretty well.

I went through the steps and apparently I cant put the ps4 in safe mode after assembling it. Any thoughts?

[@l3_git]

You put the WiFi antenna on wrong mate the metal clip also attaches to the mid frame there’s a little slit it connects the power supply to the mid frame that’s the only reason you even have to take the screw out for it cuz otherwise you be able to leave it on when you took power supply out

Man... The heatsink on your ps4 slim is at least double the size of mine. I've been concerned that my PS4 gets too hot, as the rear end of the console gets very warm. Wasnt sure if it was a fan/heatsink issue or if its something else. Im gonna watch on this in the meantime to see if maybe thermal paste will help

[@tyler6708]

Anyone else get a little nerviness when he tightened on APU screw all the way then the other? Maybe it's not the same as PC's CPU but I personally would do it evenly. Edit: the reason to do it evenly is to distribute the thermal paste more evenly. But I do imagine as it is still a sensitive part that the technique of making a few turns at a time with a hand tool would be more ideal. Regardless of skill/experience. Just my own two cents, take it or leave it.

[@alikadhim3256]

Yeah normally I screw it in evenly so none of the thermal paste would leak on to the components
