How to Clean PS4 Pro - PlayStation 4 Pro Teardown & Cleaning 

This worked perfectly! My ps4 fan was so loud it sounded like it was gonna explode lol. Now she quiet as a mouse

After watching this video, I know that you are a man of focus, commitment and sheer rocking will

Followed this guys instructions and this genuinely worked, I couldn't stand how much noise my ps4 made while playing red dead. There wasn't much dust in there but what came out really has made a difference. I can still hear the fan working but I can at least here the dialogue now

DO NOT REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY FROM THE MOTHERBOARD. THE CONNECTION PINS CAN BE DAMAGED OR RIPPED OFF. It is not needed if it is just a simple cleaning and it risks pulling the connection pins off the motherboard itself.

Followed this tutorial throughly! Works like a charm!! No more loud airport noise! Thank you!

I watched this and realized my Playstation is nowhere near his. His system had lungs like a smoker that's been smoking for 50 years.

There are different ps4 models, the first video I searched was different tear down. Thankfully I found you.

Just done this about an hour ago and it sounds great 😂, earlier me and my brother were playing mw2 and it sounded like an airplane

I couldn't access the fan in mine, so I clean it from the outisde. Thanks, my ps4 sounds better now.

I broke my ps4

the moment u took out the battery I was "like ok I wont need to go further then that" funny neither did you🤣🤣

You don't need to remove the power supply wire, just use air duster and whatever you got to clean around, just pulled my pin off and now I have to replace that

I can’t take the bottom cover off it’s so hard got a solution??

The insides of my PS4 Pro looked a pit different and all but 2 of the screws had nipples in the center. But I was able to make do with what I had and this video was helpful. Thank you

Great vid, just cleaned our ps4 pro, thanks to this video! Thanks!!!

Bro this vid made a my PS4 break it won't turn on no more

Thank you this was sooo helpful you just earned a sub

This is great thanks. Although one point is never let a fan spin as it will be like a generator and sending back unwanted voltage to the board.

Gosh i cant take off the front cover

This white cord after the power supply is on there for me. It doesn't come off? I'm trying to yank the little thing and I really don't want to pull it from the wires which I've tried several times and I know anymore after this will rip the wires off. I just feel it.

I followed the tutorial and it worked and there is no jet noise thnx bro❤

Worked like a charm.

Is there a technique to unplug the power supply cord? Because I've been at it for a little bit, and I don't want to force it too much to where it breaks.

Got to ask,, Did you have it in a sawmill? That looks like wood sawdust, not normal dirt and dust.

Thanks. Great tutorial. Fired up my Ps4pro since.. Don't even remember and noticed it being quite noisy. Decided to check out cooler and began to check iFixit tutorial, but very quicky got thought that this is overkill. I just need to get access to fan and cooler and what do you tell. YT saves the day. With this got system cleaned up and ready within like 20mins. However, it was in way, way better state than I though and looks (=sounds :) ) like I gotta began to consider possibly replacing compounds in it. But even so. Excellent tutorial in disassembling to get into critical parts, thanks...

Can you just clean the fan and be done with it there? I mean, will it stop being so loud by just dusting the fan?

I got as far as taking the power supply out. As he took the plug "as mentioned" out. I tried to to the same and ripped from of the plug base off. Please don't make the same mistake as me.

I'm lucky it's only dust but it's the kind that is very hard to get off without water

Also if the cable from the power supply to the motherboard has never been taken out it will be a pain to get out at first so be gentle. My first time trying to clean my ps4 pro i accidentally ripped the cables from the connection and had to get them sautered back together at a electronics shop

My cable was welded in to the mother board, i was never able to get it out, it's now very lose because of how welded in it was.

thank for the video bro! I had one scare once when I tried to pull the power supply like you showed instead of coming away like your it started separating and I was like WTF ... then I just looked at it a bit closely and just pushed it back in and it all clicked and it's working for years now and I just clean the fan and the parts beneath the plastic coverings ... I guess I didn't do something right but now I am afraid to try to pull the power supply again :D

It looks like you've used some cleaner with your cotton wool pads. If that is the case, could you recommend a cleaner that doesnt damage any of the plastics or electronics? I have some Isoprpyl cleaner, but im unsure if i can use it on the plastic.

I don't think I would remove the power cable. From what I can see and have read in the comments, it's too easy to break it, especially in comparison to the PS3 slim. So I would leave it attached in my case. I wouldn't be using a vacuum either but instead, an air compressor. Way easier to blast away the dust on the fan and heatsink.

Bro which screwdriver is needed to open the back screw that seal needed to be opened with dryer

Thank you i cleaned it but now it dosent sounds like a jet taking off😢

I feel like all you need to do is the first part. After that it’s clean.

Thank you so much walkthrough explaining and showing slowly. Now my ps4 sound silent

You're the man i'm definitely subbimg to your channel thank you

For the fan cleaning, can i use a microfibric cloth instead of a cotton swab?

I've cleaned my fan, it's hard to get all the gunked dust of the fan blades, and alot of it falls under neath. My CD player won't work not as a result of my cleaning, it's got the disc not recognised problem and no common fixes will work,. But I nowadays after being sick of the noise and the console over heating and thus causing games to crash more often, I now just play with the lid off, the sound difference is unreal and yes the console is then exposed to more dust. But the PS4 pro is so loud, once you take the lid off, after 20 seconds it goes so quiet. Funny when I first got the pro I remember thinking how quiet it wascompared to other console I'd had, then after about 3 months, it sounded like it was taking off to the moon.

Great video thank you so much brudder!

Great video. I heard that the fan should not turn while cleaning. Thanks

I am having problems trying to put the ps4 parts in, I am actually kinda stuck.

1:18 one of the screws is stripped how would I go about getting it out

Bro this helped so much

What happens if you take out power supply and when unplugging it it tears the connector piece off body and peels the green flakey stuff

Can you show how to open the cd rom of the ps4 pro as I have 2 discs stuck in by my little brother

BE CAREFUL, I just did what he said and removed the bottom part of the power supply cord, RIPPING IT OFF. After further research you are supposed to remove it from the top part that connects to the power supply. I believe i have a different model, please add more warnings into this video, i have to get it repaired.

Can we use compressed air spray to clean it?

Thank you this helped alot

Thanks my console needed ❤

My thing is now destroyed could you help me in some way?

Im actually really confused about the black plastic screw on the power supply, some videos show them taking it off but some don’t.

I can take off the cover but i cant get to the fan 😢

How to take of the black thing after the back side

Thank you! Because while playing suddenly it felt like that there's a jet in my room.

Big help after cleaning. Put an SSD drive in it. Get rid of the crappy disk drive. Creates too much heat.

i did the samething as you did and omg this works %100 its so quiet when playing god not like a jet anymore

Nice video, it helped me. Thanks bud

thank you for the tutorial

I will try this method at first but if my Jet engine carries on I might try replacing the Thermal paste

You really helped with that video, but my ps4 is still so loud I don't know what to do

I was trying to take the cover off but when I heard it was about to come off I thought I was gonna break it 😅

I just got a pro a few weeks ago, 2 of the screws on the power supply piece are stripped out, any tip on how to get them out? I was trying to get inside to get to the radiator and make sure there isn’t dust and clean it out but now I can’t because of those screws. I think GameStop probably went inside of it and cleaned it before they resold it and stripped a few screws in the process 🤷‍♂️ it does look cleaned from what I can see but I still like to do it myself to make sure ya know

Instructions not clear, microwave has now taken over my bedroom and won't let me in. Just kidding, awesome video, just what I needed.

Did you use a T8 screwdriver for the whole breakdown? Where did you get your screwdriver set from ? Link thanks. I need to do a deep clean and add thermal paste.

Excellent, thank you 💪

How do i screw the thing in seel

What size screwdriver are needed

Hello, im am wondering is it ok if i do not touch the power supply. Since its my first time doing it i am a little scared to touch it.

I wouldn't recommend a vacuum for cleaning a fan unless you keep the fan steady while doing it. Terribly bad on the bearings

Are all the screws the same size?

ive done it and it works thx but it was war tryna take the botom cover off man my fingers are peeling how much force i aplied to it lol

My power supply cord tore off the mother board because they put super glue or something in there now mine is broke because of this😭

The first 4 screws on my ps4 were already threaded. So I guess I can't open it fully lol

I got the same tr8 screwdriver but those on the metal aren’t coming out it’s like slipping.. what else can I use?

Although, you didn't fully clean the heat sink.

can I use a mini vacuum cleaner and clean it away so it pulls a little and not break it

Jesus Christ they put that top cover on like they hid treasure in there or something😂 spent almost 15 minutes trying to get it off I think… then wen I finally got it off I found out we don’t have screwdriver that fits in either of the two kits we have😃 so ig I’ll have to wait to clean it

Also, never use the air thing to spin the fan. It'll break the fan. Hold it in place with a q tip

How do I get the screw

Did you use alcohol with the q-tips well cleaning the fan?

bruh i can’t do anything past taking the top off

I can't do it it'd hard opening the top I'm afraid I will break it.

Wait bus doesnt vacuum cleaners kill the motherboard?

Bruh for my hard disk cover there is a screw that I can’t get to and every video I watch they say “ just pull the hard disc cover and it’ll come right out “ smfh

How do you remove the bit under the silver plate. Is the middle screw fake? I can't budge it

Do i have to download the data from my hard drive before cleaning my ps4 or i just take it out?

Thanks man! Cleaned it with the kids helping. One thing, while Pwrspply out of the way, hold vaccum cleaner with broader tip above fan, directed at an angle. At the same time blow air through grills, to clean them. Fan does not suck air from the back, but blowa is oyt the back. So radiator grills are congested from inside. When you vacuum from the PS side you just draw dirt deeper into grills.

The power supply cable came out and broken fron the board

Can clean after first panel off

When I was gonna pull the cable out at 4:34 the base broke from the bottom is there anyway to fix this or is the whole ps4 trash now

Thx so much you are so good❤

That fan is tiny compared to the PS5s fan. No wonder the heat and noise is dramatically different.

Bruh i cant get the middle screw out dawg, like theres a little pike in the middle and wont allow anything to twist it free

This video made my PS4 break when I pulled off the motherboard cable I couldn't put it back in now it won't turn on

This seems little more complex than my Xbox one x.. my newly acquired ps4 pro from a kid sounds like a jet engine... I'll be doing this aswell. Just completed this process. All worked like a charm! My newly acquired used ps4 pro is quieter than a kitten.

i need help, i think i broke mine out of place, in minuto 4:31 i was supposed to remove it and it all of it came off, i need help please i dont know if it’ll turn off, someone please answer

I can’t get the seal screw off it has a dot in the middle of the screw and I can’t get a screw driver in there

i can not unplug this cable. it won’t come off 4:34
