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
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
@@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
@@Hellraiser988 Same. Been cleaning out my launch day console every 4-5 months since 2020, and disconnecting the fan ribbon cable with needlenose pliers as well to thoroughly clean the fan blades similar to what was shown in the video.
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!!!
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
Its made like most of the products these days to break eventually so u need to buy new one.. Old times are gone when some products u could use for years or decades
I did it, after a year of playing the power pack was totally clogged and blocked with dust, it took me hours to put it back together because I kept putting the wrong screws in the holes.
On me 😂 I remember back in school I thought i was bout to start a iphone screen repair business, I tried mine first and never could put it back together😅 Yea i’d rather pay someone!
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
@C G yeah all depends on how clean your house is tbh, I've cleaned out some consoles/pcs from people who smoke at their desk and fuck me it isn't nice 🤣
@@DengueBurgerI NEVER cleaned my ps4 and it works the same when it was new but my ps5 4 months was not letting me play ps5 versions of games cuz it overheated 😢
I'd recommend to leave the console in a open area when I went to clean mine there was hardly any dust after a year I had it for and it looked nothing like that
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.
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
i went to buy the T9 screwdriver youtube told me to use and it still didn't work, luckily i had an extra small size 1.5 flat head screwdriver that worked well on the PS5 screws. so you can use that if you want
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.
I kept hotboxing my room and my Ps5 completely turned off due to dust build up … I opened it up and cleaned it throughly using Q-tips Rag (dry) Computer cleaner I cleaned it all up I kept the fan plugged in but cleaned it throughly. removed the 2 vents on each side . Put everything back into place including the 4 screws holding the fan guard. Word of advice don’t apply extra pressure when opening the Ps5 cover clips might break also on the vent covers . “It’s always 4:20 somewhere in the world” 🌎 🌍 🗺
Bro forgot to mention that you need to be careful with the screws, I hard to learn the hard way after cleaning my PS5. Some of the screws wouldn’t fit and I couldn’t remember which screws go where but in the end I figured it out.
My ps5 was turning off by itself so I had to clean it. Took the panels off and just blasted all the vents with compressed air. Didn’t remove the fan or disconnect any wires. Didn’t use q tips or anything else. Just wiped it down with a polishing cloth and that was it. Now it’s runs just fine.
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.
I'm thinking you guys keep your PS5 on the floor near carpet and pets, because I just cleaned mines, and it had a little dust on the fan. My PS4 sat on the same shelf for 10-years and didn't have nowhere near the much dust as the guys in the video.
If the screw isn't moving (I have the correct screwdriver as it worked for the rest) what should I do? I believe there might be a problem with the other two screws.
deeper inside are more cooling ducts that cool the power in the back and whole lotta dust by the looks of it inside of that ps5 is caked up i had to take mine apart further to reach the ducts near the disc drive. so yea..
my ps5 is around 18 months old and decided to open it up and clean it for the first time. ..there was little to no dust. mayve becuse i have it horizontal and not in a shelf or under tv.. ive noticed all electronics ( tvs, computers, consoles etc ) there vents are always horizantally
Touch something metal before you go digging around in there. Static electricity in your body can and often times will make its way into your day and ruin it playing with circuitry. 😢
What screwers do you use? I want to clean mine. I already have 2 cans of compressed air, brushes, and know how to open the ps5, but I lack the screwers.
My question…. What conditions do you live in for this to happen? I just changed out my covers today after 2 1/2 years of owning a ps5 and the fans had little to no dust in them
I'm not lying but every ps5 fan which is used gets tgis much dust, but nit that yellow, its because it collects dust real fast, my house is pretty clean everyday and it's still dusty the ps5 but the dust isn't yellow
True, they are. I wanna completely clean mine but it's a £570 system 😬. I guess it'll be easy because taking the ps1 apart is simple. Not being racist but the Japanese are smart in construction.
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.
@@sean3281 i mean it depends on the power and the size, but for the most part it has a higher chance of damaging parts compared to just taking off the fans and cleaning them.
Torx 8 will take the fan screws out, right? If I just clean both fans and a little of the inside from where the fans were removed, is that enough to stop it from shutting off after hours of game play?😢
@@WindHashiraPeople damage cables because they probably pull on the wires, you have to pull out on the connector(The white piece that the wires are feed into.) as the wires are thin and relatively fragile.
