My tiny pea brain finally understands thank you
The driver bit you need is called torx with security. It is like a hex star but it also has a hole in the middle to prevent using anything that is not the right thing. The correct size is the t8.
is that the only way to open it is with the specific bit?
Actually it's t9,a t8 will work,but also strip it very easily. When choosing a bit u don't want ANY play when turning. Ud be surprised how perfectly the right bit fits
Yea. Don't take my word for it on the size. The one had was just perfect. Maybe it was the t9.
@@LeoHolanda_CANBR I literally JUST finished putting it back together,so I had a base to reference
Doing a deep clean, changing the thermal paste and thermal pads can make your ps4 pro whisper quiet. Mine is the 7100b model. I did it with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and Gelid thermal pads and the results are amazing. Been quiet for 2months now.
Is that difficult to do?
2 months of quiet lmao
@erikalvarez8538 we will never know the true answer
@@jacobward6787really? What you mean exactly?
You need to get to the FRONT of the heat sink, the other side to what youve shown. That's where the air gets sucked in to go through the heat sink where in turn any dust, hair, dirt will stick.
That's why he pushed it like out of the console using canned air from the other side
@@bartekp7587he's correct you need the other side air won't do it, alcohol 90% and a brush the other side will be packed if you have a cat or dogs
Very helpful ! Thank you so much
You are a genius, thank you for that, I can't even hear it now 👍
Here in 2022, bought a used PS4 Pro this time last year, for a while it was acting fine, after a while some games the fan would start sounding like a fighter jet in my room.
Followed this guide, after I was done, some games still act the same, others that did the same run just fine now. May need to take one last dive in, clean out any remaining dust in the fan. But for the most part, it worked like a charm. Kinda got scared cause my first time round, the PS4 wouldn’t turn on. Figured out I messed up and I guess didn’t reconnect the battery after I was done. Went back and did that, and it’s working better than before like I said. Thanks for the guide!
Finally a video with my ps4 bro this was helpful saved me 40$ 🙏
Didn't even clean the heat sink false advertising
david smith technically he did you could see the cooling tubes as well
Furious 21997 he didnt
Thanks for not letting me waste my time lmao :p i stopped trusting dude when he didn't even know you need a special screw driver for the security screws
Ummm... okay... please look up a heat sink is. Once he took the battery out, you can see it clear as day. Get familiar with these terms, please. And look them up before talking if you don’t know.
@@MrJaxparadize I didnt watch the video lol. It wasnt be very helpful anyway
i brought a screw driver for those screws as they have a divit in the center of the head
You can use needle nose pliers to pinch the tiny screws and turn them. Thanks for the video!
Or just get the right bit...
Damn this helped! I couldn’t find a video on my model, but you have the same one ❤️
Ps4 pro are all the same models
Thank you so much for making this 🥲❤️ mine sounded like a jet engine every time I ran MW2 and I couldn’t do it anymore
11:10 what you're actually doing there is dispersing a carpet of dust that is stuck to the aluminium heatsink plates back into the fan which the fan will blow back into the plates but great that you tried, bro. Full rebuild looks pretty tricky
Super good video!!!! Thanks so much!! Cleaned a PS4 I just bought used
I'm sure u got ur answer by now... but thanks for the video and on the off chance you didn't; they purposely use hard to find screw-heads in order to force you to pay them to fix it instead of home repair being possible.
Those aren't hard to find screw heads, they're t8 security bits and are used on Xboxes phones and TV's Sony even shows you how to disassemble and clean your PS4
very helpful mainly because i never knew how to take out the power supply and clean the heat sink without taking out the motherboard oh and for those who dont know the screws that are hard to take out are the torx S2 T8 screws although im pretty sure T9/T7 works with them too
Thank you for your help!
When removing the power supply disconnect from the power brick not from the motherboard because if you break it then it's easier to replace the power brick!
Wish I had seen your comment sooner. Accidentally ripped the whole thing out doing what he did.
@@hawke4589 awww mate lol nightmare
Not so long to do, thanks for the tips
Cheers bro!
I cleaned my slim a good couple times. Maybe more. This really isn't as different as I thought.
I have cleaned my ps4 slim and applied new thermal paste and also installed a new hard drive but the fan still a bit too loud
thanks m8! i cleaned my and my friends ps pro
ive never been this early
Thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍
You need a security torx bit.
You are the only video that points out the two screws on the underside that need removing before the power brick can be removed...legendary status achieved!
God fucking dammit. I knew I was missing something. This power brick is literally so scary to remove, nice to know there are a couple screws
@@at2at lmaoooo
Thank you very much, a friend of mine's PS4 was overheating bad, this helped big time!
You know when you say those 2 screws are out at 9:52.
I’m having so much trouble knowing if that back middle screw comes out or not? Pls reply ASAP
In your opinion, which option is more appropriate, thermal paste for the PlayStation 4 pro console?
Love you man
Respect thank you
Bro I have put my whole force on to it my fingers were almost bleeding I can't get the top off.
Thanks bro 👏
Lol this guy "I've had this for a year so I know a lot of dust has built up inside."
Me laughing with a 7 year old PS4 Pro that's never been cleaned before
that angle of the air compressor - looks like you might be spraying some dust up into the heatsink lol
Thx m8
That PS4 is sexy holyyy 😍 that sticker
I need open the bottom part of ps4 pro to get to the heatsink???
I couldn't open it up from above because it seems hard,maybe a different model or some short needed to remove some screws or something perhaps? Any help will be really appreciated folks!
You just didn't pull hard enough.
In Samoan/Mexican/black household we don’t use screw drivers , we use the knifes 🤣
Wich product is this air base? Like a aerossol
i used a pointy knife for all the screws it worked
Which took kit is the easiest to use
Finally a quality fucking video, thank you for the help ❤
Well listen I tried this but at the end of the day I go to 90% of where you got before I couldn’t take the last screws off and striped them. My last attempt at trying to reduce noise. And there was hardly any dust that I could get too. Somethings not right if mine is still sounding loud.
guitars, amp, skateboard, ps4, headphones... pretty much identical to my room except my flooring are tiles and i dont have a projector screen
FYI don't play with your fan like a turn table. Fucks up the electronics and gears. Also don't blow air into your fan area out the back until you've removed the power supply.
You didnt clean the right side of the heatsink where the fan blows the dust into
make sure you hold the fan down if it spins the wrong way you can reverse charge it and brake all the electronics
Man I did every step right but idk how he maid the part where you disconnect the battery off and I tried to like gentle and the whole thing came off 😞 so no ps4 for me
what is the model of your ps4 pro?
The back didn’t wanna open I tried but it just cracked the back. My ps4 pro does turn on but only the blue light for a second and does nothing else. Nothing pops up on the tv.
Torx security only, using regular Torx will not work or will work if you’re lucky
For some reason everyone left side is more harder to take off
Exactly same with my PS4 lmao
thx man my ps4 pro is now silence as fck
Fr?
Like actually?
deadass? i just cleaned the intake vents and fan and it’s still loud as fuck. debating if i wanna take the risk cleaning the heat sync.
@@trenth.8464 That's what causes the noise issues. You need to clean the heat sink if you want your console to be quiet again
Where did you get those screws and how much were they? Im trying to play days gone and it says its too hot
Do i have to take off the other side in order to clean out the heatsink? I only want to do a fan and heatsink clean
Yes to prevent dust buildup or dust that's trapped so it wont cycle again into the fan
Bro I have my ps4 for 5 years and it still works I just sounds like a airplane
I did it and cleaned literally everything and it still sounds like a jet guess I gotta look up how to change a ps4s thermal paste and pads
I did mine after about 2 years. got sick of it being louder then my TV. amazing how quite it is now. I put on my most taxing game. and barely nothing. so good
you need the star ones with a hole in the middle
I bought mine second hand, and when I opened up the top part the inside of it was yellow, what is it and what caused it? I tried cleaning with alcohol and a cloth but didn't get it off, guess the last owner wasn't responsible enough to actually clean and take care of his console!
smoking likely
Amazon you can get a kit for PlayStation
Did your PS4 work after
Lmao 🤣😂
Are you dumb
I've had mine for like 2 years. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I just opened mine, it was bad 😆
Will I damage my ps4 if I pop open the back without taking out the hardrive?
They are security hex bolts on silver plate, it's a hex with a hole in the middle
Question hopefully you reply what happens if you clean the The silver part ???
Nothing happens
Well I just pulled out the battery from the motherboard.. thanks for the warning that they're easy to pull out. Fml now I have 0 ps4
this is the video i just need to get some duster and im cleaning mine.
Damn I got mine for 3 years and the dust barely had any but that was until I looked at the bottom of it
Emmanueling Is my PSN I used mine for about a year and only cleaned the fan thinking it’s clean and still wondered why it was so loud, until today I stripped it all and found my heat sink all clogged up
I need help, where the battery is there is a black screw in the middle on top and i can't get it out.
It seemed that i am an actual retard i shall disappear from this video, thank you for the cleaning vid.
Power supply.....not battery
I accidentaly took out the whole white connectorwhat do i do im scared.
The whole thing
yay
Does anybody know what drill bit to use for the black screw in the middle when trying to take off the battery?
Theres no screw bro dont worry.... I thought it was too and I spent like 2 days tryna unscrew it, then I found out its just one of those black clips.... Just take of the four screws then gently lift the battery up, be careful theres a wire thats connected to it so dont pull the battery out too hard
@@marky8652 are your sure? Because I looked it up and they said there is 5 screws total in the power supply
@@xdinosteel2561 well with this ps4 pro model its like rubber screw that just sits there
@@xdinosteel2561 thats how I got mine out, on the older ps4 pro medls theres an actual screw there so 5 in total, just use the same screw driver you used for the other 4 screws
How do I clean the heat sink tho
My man actually called the power supply the battery😂
You have to buy higher quality torx bits. The shit from China is nice and cheap, but at those small sizes the bit has to be PERFECT and those Chinese sets are sloppy and don't fit all the time
you are the goat i had the ps4 pro for 3 year now and now my ps4 pro sounds like it just came out the box
Bruh how tf do you take off the black top to get to the silver part @5:31? Do you just rip it off?? All of the videos seem to skip that part 😤
Thanks big help for me! 👍 From me and a sub
You didn't actually clean the heatsink though, you need to remove it to properly clean it, cleaning one edge is not good enough.
Hope I'm not the only one who cocked this up so much, they broke their PS4.
Don't think Ima be an engineer any time soon lol
I couldn’t get the cover off cause I’m just weak as hell
can you use an electric air duster?
yeah any air duster
I can’t get the front off
I've had my pro sinse day 1 always kept it on top of 2 books away from the floor or surface opend it up for the first time and it was spotless and I game every day
Word! Keep away from the flo and dust no mo 🤣👍
At 10:26 Yeah don't do that. I ended uo ripping the whole thing out. Remove it from the top, not the bottom. Found that out the hard way.
Pulled the plug from the board(solder joint broke) he showed us after if it worked again or not. ××× broken hearted×××
Yo I have accidentally pulled out the whole plug when removing the battery what do I do I feel like I'm heart broken
Did you get it fixed 1 month later ?
Same here
Dont ever used a compress can on that. You could damage it worse by logging the dust further into it...
U sure?
@@POPGG he sure
then what too use then too clean it
Mine is clean but still makes noise. I found if I play with the top cover off it becomes quiet. (By the way there isn't a battery in this)
He means the PSU, it does hold a charge for quite a while but yeah it ain't a battery
Where can I get that sticker on your PS4 ? Its cool
U should do a company is for u can get more money
If you put 1 wire in crooked all of a sudden you playing on the Nintendo 64
I love you man (no homo) thx
I'm beginning to think my ps4 just wont open
