Good sh!+ and b carful with the parts that u need 2 b careful with. The way I edit my video was so that it isn’t boring and I don’t waste anyone’s time because I’ve wanted other vids and they b like 20-40 minutes and that frustrated me because they don’t edit a lot of the unnecessary video but I get it everyone has there own way of doing things but for me, imma do my best with what I have as I grow and put quality content. Like a mix of Str8 to the point, comedy, hood comedy, every other comedy, if u know what I mean😉. Keep it so entertaining that it makes u want to rewatch it again and again. Also to inform u guys about other things for the people that like the details in things kinda like how Chrisfix does it.
I've just opened up my ps4 for the first time because the fan was so loud. I've given it a thorough clean and now jm gonna put some thermal paste on. I'm gonna watch your video again when I have to put it all back together again 😬🥶
@FOURsCRUZ One thing that's nerving me is the motherboard took some jostling to get out and I think it might be tricky getting it back in, also I'm going to be mindful of the cables when I'm reattaching them, but I'll persevere. I've just ordered some Thermal Paste which is coming Monday so I have until then to compose myself 🤣
BRO, you get a sub just for the the diagram screw holder. That I've had jobs and hobbies and shit [tinkering with everything from rotary phones to building pcbs to repairing tractors] most of my life and I've never come across this, is crazy. Such a good idea for beginners especially.
Thank you for this video, I've finally found a detailed, easy to understand video that actually uses the same ps4 as mine. I already have some high quality thermal paste coming in the post so I'll be following your tutorial when it gets delivered in a few days 😀 I've already taken it apart once to clean all the dust from the inside but that didn't do anything so hopefully the paste does.. I just wanna play warzone with my friends without waking up the entire household 🤣 love from the UK
Bro first of all, good video. Thank you for CLEAR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS. My problem is that I didn’t even need to do this repair, my Playstation was running fine, I wanted to be preventative. So I follow every instruction, did the whole project, and it works again, but NOW I have a problem where the game looks way too bright, and now the Console on top is getting way too hot! 🥵 So I think I did too much thermal paste or something, because the rest of the repair was perfect, and I can’t hear my fan at all.. smh If it ain’t broke don’t fix it! I f’d up! Can I open it up and fix it, or is the brightness problem a sign that my chip is cooked? 🤔
Ok first of all thanks for the feed back. Second, if u did everything correct making sure that your not missing any black paste on the rams, plugged cables and etc. what u first should do is use the ps4 app and use remote play and by doing that u can check if the PlayStation is still putting out a bright screen. If that’s fine, it’s the tv or maybe the hdmi in/out. So trying other inputs of the tv, if it only has one then, try a different tv. And the last thing would be to check if everything is in its place 🤷♂️ so get back to me and re-read everything ☝️
@@FOURsCRUZ Oh yea one extra step I did that might have had an impact was I replaced the cmos battery. I was already in there so I swapped it out, but that shouldn’t impact the heat I feel on top after the repair. Pretty sure I went overboard with the thermal paste.
Hey man, you might get even more views if you put the model number in your video description. Like is it 1215A or 1215B, etc. Awesome video with the perfect amount of humor to keep a somewhat stressful first time thing lighter.
No funny shit I bought a PS4 on the marketplace paid only $100 for it when I turned it on it sounded really bad I opened it up got it cleaned but it still made the same noise , i watch this video and did step-by-step and and now I pretty much have a brand new PlayStation 4 thanks bro it even works faster
@@FOURsCRUZ Ty for feed back. I was able to bring ps4 back to life after following your steps. Unfortunately, a week later it is back in vegetative state. When some lose some. Had a good 7 year run.
Aye! I mean I bet it was a good one week right🤷🏿♂️? Before u watched my video. How long did it take u to finally make the move of fixing your ps4? Like, a day, week(s), or a month? U don’t gotta answer but like….daymmmm 7 years. It reminds me of a car, like daym 😭 it’s been a good 40 years 🤣. Anyways so it officially doesn’t work no mo?
@@FOURsCRUZ I already had the paste in the mail, but your video was the same make and model and easy to follow. So I was watching your video at the same time, pausing at crucial points. So I guess 1hr before paste arrived from amazon.
I clicked on this dude because he had the exact model as my mine and so I can see him take the ribbon pieces out in detail and he does a mucking edit and I don't see anything 4:35 great video though bro.
Sorry bro, I was trying to not waste anybody’s time watching like a 30 or 40 minute video, next time I’ll make sure. Just remember any feedback is cool with me, even if it’s negative🤣
Awesome video, information and super funny. You had me cracking up haha, the number of times i looked at my screen like, wait what? then you were like naw jk hahahaha
Followed your tutorial bro, good with details and everything I put a little less paste than what you did. My ps4 still sounds like a jet unfortunately, I have the first ps4 model that came out back in 2013, so its 9 3/4 years old. I'm going to try again with putting a little extra paste. Wish me luck 🤞🏼 if it is the model, then ima upgrade the parts.
Make sure everything that secures the thermal paste is good like the middle bracket, metal pressure bracket, the screws are flattened out meaning the screws can’t go any further because it stops like if you hit a wall. That’s pretty much the critical part that’s responsible for the jet engine.
Thx! This jokes are awesome🤣🤣🤣 And thx for great tips! Especially about scratch APU screws, to make stuff similar like in car engine timing belt system.
Thanks for the video bro!! My only mistake was that I forgot to put the 3 screws bellow the motherboard and I want able to do it after because I have already applied the thermal paste 😅 But I think is not a big deal isn’t it? My ps4 is running supper smooth now and without a single noise!! Thanks again!!
It’s probably a blue ribbon cable that u missed or it’s not all the way in or someone in your family probably jammed something in the disk that’s why it’s not taking the disk or something because I don’t really know what happened in your situation
@@FOURsCRUZ I sort it. All wires was ok. Just when I was unscrewing that screws from bottom I unscrew them from drive as well and it kind of slightly open itself and gear was misplaced. I put in right place and my ps is working so lovely now after cleaning.
thanks for the tutorial but my ps4 won't start, I have 21 screws left and I couldn't connect 3 ribbons, don't change, maybe one day I'll fix them - Jacob & Miłosz
My ps4 won’t turn on since December , but I have never bought a new thermal paste for it ima get one today , you think that’s going to help my ps4 come back ?
Well if you change the thermal paste before then u might get the same results but if you just used the same thermal paste when u cleaned it then that’s probably why it was over heating
is it normal that my ps4 is silent but make weird noises and the top of the console is hot ? this could be because i didn’t used enough paste? (btw ur a goat)🔥🔥
Idk about the noises but if it’s just the fan blowing air you should b fine. The heat should mainly b where the GPU/CPU is. (Look at my thumbnail for reference) From there the heat should drop a couple of degrees all around. All in all the ps4 b warm all throughout the console. If it was cold then u would need to take a car to outer space 🪐, visit the hospital 🏥, to take out a loan for a puppy 🐶, figure out y u even took the time to get a grasp of trying to make sense of any of this in a one cell brain 🧠, then get an oil change.
Great video, feel like personally i should just go to a repair shop tho lol, i feel like ill definitely mess something up, does anyone know much it would cost for someone to do this for you?
I've done 2 thermal paste jobs before on the older model ps4's i'm now working on a 1215b and I have that 1 wire with the blue tab that needs to be removed from the motherboard but your video doesn't show you removing it before you took out the mother board.. not 100% sure if i should be pulling upward on the short blue lil tab and don't want to break it. any suggestions?
@@wi1iqmm depends on how surrounded the PlayStation is. For the dust to be clean at least two years. As for the thermal paste, a good two more years approximately. Your console has to breathe just like you, so don’t drown it.
The two pins are propably bent. You need to bend them back so that they are straight. It happened to me. But when I bended them back straight they powerblock fitted right in and both of the screws could fit in again
My dad was helping me take apart my ps4 to put the thermal paste on and clean it, we used your video because you ps4 is the same as mine but after we put everything back together and plugged in the ps4 it won't turn on, any thoughts on what is wrong it obviously has something to do with the power source but I am not sure exactly what. The help would be appreciated.
First things first make sure your power button is clicking. Make sure all cables and especially the blue ribbon cables, and the power supply cord is plugged in. Finally make sure when you put the two metal shields that puts pressure on the thermal paste, that the 2 black screws are screwed in where it stops a.k.a. flattens out. Get back to me and try to do some research as well.
@@FOURsCRUZ me and and my dad just took it apart again and we realized that we didn't plug the power source into the motherboard all the way, and now it works better than ever
I scared myself at the 4:00 minute mark because I was trying to not break any of the prongs or the cord, tried getting the cord from the power supply part but the cord connected to the motherboard came off instead, I checked and it all seemed fine with no damage.
@@FOURsCRUZ Indeed, also good news everything works, I was tired and forgot how I even got to some parts so I went and watched your video twice, forward and backwards 😂
got a question, I just got all my things together new thermal paste and stuff, but ngl I lost like 2 thermal pads lol you think it’ll still run alright if so? and about the 2 screws you talked about to keep the same torx as the manufacturer, will that be a problem if its just screwed 13 times on both sides, because I forgot to mark them.?
Thermal pads I’m pretty sure you’re going to need them because they were there in the first place. Secondly, for the two black screws that keep the thermal paste held together, just keep screwing until it flattens out. Remember it won’t get tighter. It’ll just literally stop you from screwing any further and don’t try to force the two screws to go any further.
@@FOURsCRUZ Just got everything put back together and man this shi sounds like nothing is even on 💀💀 runs all smooth and quiet af, ppreciate the advice 💥
Put it this way: if the fan goes crazy then the thermal paste needs replacing. If the fan doesn’t go crazy then probably it’s a technical thing. The other thing that might help but may not be the solution is check if the ps4 is up to date and see how much memory you have left. Hope this helps.
@@FOURsCRUZ bro thanks for reply, but I recently found out it was just my monitor😭 love your videos broskie and my ps4’s fan is so quiet now bro much love.
The torque tightness for the screws on that S plate aren't really important. I've done several of these for some friends and always just made sure they were equally secure and not over tightened.
I never dared trying this, but as soon as I get a hold of the ps5 I will see if this works for the ps4. It still works but its blowing air like crazy in almost every game. I did try opening it up and removing some dust but I guess it is due to thermal paste gone bad. It will often result in high fan speeds am I right? The ps5 will mostly make my ps4 obsolete so I could take the loss. But if it works it will be a nice console to have as a spare :)
I want to do this but not sure it’s the problem during Downloads my controller shuts off and the only way for me to fix it is if I restart it I’m not sure if it means I have to put thermal paste or something else or even clean it
Have you tried resetting your controller? There’s a small button you have to press, once you do that, use the micro USB cable to connect the controller, and then press the PS button. Then test out the downloading game.
If anything, clean your PS4 and replace the old thermal paste with new thermal paste because I think the PS4 is overheating, causing the PS4 controller to disconnect when downloading games.
@@5DiFika that’s because it’s a “newer version” for the ps4 lineup Like the first one that came out was glossy with touch sensors for the power and eject “buttons” Then comes this ps4 version and it’s either the 2000 or the 3000 version (I think)
i have a question about the power supply cable. its not going out for me. i want to know if you pulled the plastic or did you wiggle the wire itself to remove it
@@ciastko2003 the ps4 only needs thermal paste for the silver shiny ✨ square and as for the 8 ram “Matt Black square’s” surrounding the silver shiny one, that only needs thermal pads. Only if u lost one or more thermal pads
Re-post: this has been an awesome video, definitely the best out here but unfortunately my ps4 keeps overheating. I assume its the metal piece (radiator thingy) thats making contact with the paste, thus I cannot use my console… Even cleaned the paste again and added a bit tad more (less than what you put) and it still overheats…
@@FOURsCRUZ appreciate it bro but its ok, I think it might be a part or maybe something I missed ill keep looking and let u know if I make a breakthrough xD One more question, skip ur vid to 5:12 the metal bar with the paste that would be the heat sink? Bc Im thinking its either that wich will need to be cleaned better or replaced or it might be that whole piece (I mean the power supply) that might be the problem Something is messing with the cooling…
@@FOURsCRUZ one last question, the fan is suppose to run at all times right? Even if the play station is at a cool temp? I left the top opened and the fan wasn’t running, it only ran when it overheated Think I found the problem
@@SnowJ-1001 What do you mean you left the top open? 🤔 Did you solve this problem? I think I might have the same exact problem as you. My PS4 was fine before the repair, everything looked good after the repair, but I think I put too much thermal paste, and I couldn’t hear the fan anymore at the end, possibly messed up the “closing 2 clicks” part because I only heard one click.. lol. Mad at myself for trying to be proactive with this repair. Bro did a good job with the video though.. thanks for any reply.
@@dondollaz1832 Well I was confused bc I didn’t know why my console kept overheating, so I desided to leave the top open so I could see if the fan was running or not The fan should always be running, it should not stop. Mine stopped and turned on alot wich wasn’t normal so I bought a new fan and replaced it and it worked, so try that if you want
You're the only person with a tutorial on the exact same PlayStation as me, thank you so much for the laughs as well man
Your welcome 😉
Went from being a Jet to dead silent used to over heat as soon as I started playing now can’t even hear it life saver I love you

First time ever doing something like this. Had some panics and a mental breakdown, but I did it 🎉 THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

I really like the use of a cardboard diagram for the screws. Very clever.
Too much paste, the excess is just squeezed out the sides

I’m not too sure you would have to do your own research
How long does it last clean before we have to clean it again
@@wi1iqmm depends on how surrounded the PlayStation is. For the dust to be clean at least two years. As for the thermal paste, a good two more years approximately. Your console has to breathe just like you, so don’t drown it.
I did exactly this and the two long screws for the power block are weird. One won’t stick the other is fine. It’s weird
The two pins are propably bent. You need to bend them back so that they are straight. It happened to me. But when I bended them back straight they powerblock fitted right in and both of the screws could fit in again
@ the ps blew up years ago. I think it’s done for screw wise.
Nice video!
Will this tutorial work for me if i have the launch model ps4 with the sensors instead of buttons?
That’s a good question I have no idea
Forgive me, bruh, but I can't trust you. But you funny asf!🤣
U have been forgiven🤣
Thank you bro❤❤
My dad was helping me take apart my ps4 to put the thermal paste on and clean it, we used your video because you ps4 is the same as mine but after we put everything back together and plugged in the ps4 it won't turn on, any thoughts on what is wrong it obviously has something to do with the power source but I am not sure exactly what. The help would be appreciated.
First things first make sure your power button is clicking.
Make sure all cables and especially the blue ribbon cables, and the power supply cord is plugged in.
Finally make sure when you put the two metal shields that puts pressure on the thermal paste, that the 2 black screws are screwed in where it stops a.k.a. flattens out.
Get back to me and try to do some research as well.
Ok thanks
@@FOURsCRUZ me and and my dad just took it apart again and we realized that we didn't plug the power source into the motherboard all the way, and now it works better than ever
I destroyed my hard drive before I realized you were joking bro. What the hell man
I scared myself at the 4:00 minute mark because I was trying to not break any of the prongs or the cord, tried getting the cord from the power supply part but the cord connected to the motherboard came off instead, I checked and it all seemed fine with no damage.
That moment when your heart drops 😅
@@FOURsCRUZ Indeed, also good news everything works, I was tired and forgot how I even got to some parts so I went and watched your video twice, forward and backwards 😂
got a question, I just got all my things together new thermal paste and stuff, but ngl I lost like 2 thermal pads lol you think it’ll still run alright if so? and about the 2 screws you talked about to keep the same torx as the manufacturer, will that be a problem if its just screwed 13 times on both sides, because I forgot to mark them.?
Thermal pads I’m pretty sure you’re going to need them because they were there in the first place. Secondly, for the two black screws that keep the thermal paste held together, just keep screwing until it flattens out. Remember it won’t get tighter. It’ll just literally stop you from screwing any further and don’t try to force the two screws to go any further.
@@FOURsCRUZ Thanks fr, W mans for replying fast af lol but yeah hoping for the best today
I’m fast af boi but yeah just let me know
@@FOURsCRUZ Just got everything put back together and man this shi sounds like nothing is even on 💀💀 runs all smooth and quiet af, ppreciate the advice 💥
💦
Which screwdrivers other than T9 do I need for disassembling my ps4 please? PS your videos are helpful ❤
It’s actually a TR9 and a Phillips
What should I do, or what does it mean if I have slight input delay? Am I cooked
Put it this way: if the fan goes crazy then the thermal paste needs replacing.
If the fan doesn’t go crazy then probably it’s a technical thing.
The other thing that might help but may not be the solution is check if the ps4 is up to date and see how much memory you have left. Hope this helps.
@@FOURsCRUZ bro thanks for reply, but I recently found out it was just my monitor😭 love your videos broskie and my ps4’s fan is so quiet now bro much love.
How long did you wait to play the system after pasting?
Right away! Enjoy!
The torque tightness for the screws on that S plate aren't really important. I've done several of these for some friends and always just made sure they were equally secure and not over tightened.
I never dared trying this, but as soon as I get a hold of the ps5 I will see if this works for the ps4. It still works but its blowing air like crazy in almost every game. I did try opening it up and removing some dust but I guess it is due to thermal paste gone bad. It will often result in high fan speeds am I right? The ps5 will mostly make my ps4 obsolete so I could take the loss. But if it works it will be a nice console to have as a spare :)
Appreciate you taking the time to make your comment
bro saaaaaame
🤣
hey mate can i use the artic max-4 paste too? also i wanted to ask that my ps4 is from 2015 fat model same as yours if itll work?
Yeah bro someone mentioned that brand in the comment somewhere👍
The reason I wanna change the thermal paste is to play apex without having to worry about my ps4 exploding any second 😂
Good luck
Top 1 teardown ps4 video
Low life 😍💯
Excellent video but GEEZ... This is a lot to remember.
@@KBXband don’t need to remember just follow the video as u work on it
I want to do this but not sure it’s the problem during Downloads my controller shuts off and the only way for me to fix it is if I restart it I’m not sure if it means I have to put thermal paste or something else or even clean it
Ok your gonna have to rephrase everything u said🤔?
@@FOURsCRUZ so everytime i download a game my controller just turns off and won’t re connect it only re connects if I restart the PS4
Have you tried resetting your controller? There’s a small button you have to press, once you do that, use the micro USB cable to connect the controller, and then press the PS button. Then test out the downloading game.
If anything, clean your PS4 and replace the old thermal paste with new thermal paste because I think the PS4 is overheating, causing the PS4 controller to disconnect when downloading games.
My ps4 does the same I'm pretty sure we have to do this
Omg it’s works thanks
I’m glad
Anything u want to know 4 the next video
Thanks bud.😉
wow, glad they didn't make it complicated...
If anybody is wondering yes this really does make your ps4 quiet just don’t put as much thermal paste as he did he put wayyyy to much
Agree. That’s my fault😅🤣. I found out later that u don’t have to put so much.🤣
I put about the same amount, what could happen to the ps4? Please lmk
Hello i just added new Thermal paste , and put my ps4 back togher should i turn on or wait 20 mims?
No-no I believe it’ll b 20 years before u can even think about it, yes☕️🧐
Jk, u can turn it on bro🤣
Ahaha Lol
hey your hdd side shell is not glossy, how come? where do i buy one of those non glossy plastics
@@5DiFika that’s because it’s a “newer version” for the ps4 lineup
Like the first one that came out was glossy with touch sensors for the power and eject “buttons”
Then comes this ps4 version and it’s either the 2000 or the 3000 version (I think)
@@5DiFika and I’m pretty sure you can buy it somewhere
I added thermal new and my ps4 is not loud and i cant even heard the fan but the ps4 is hot i think i added a bit too much thermal paste
Just look up pictures of thermo paste and then compare to the amount you have applied to your PS4 and you should be fine
Appreciated bro
goat✅
i have a question about the power supply cable. its not going out for me. i want to know if you pulled the plastic or did you wiggle the wire itself to remove it
Hold the female end, like if it’s stuck in place and then pull/wiggle the cable from left to right.
If u have discord add me FOURsCRUZ
@@FOURsCRUZi found another way, i saw a different video specifically for the power supply and it said to pull the cable from the motherboard
Glad it to hear the good news
@@FOURsCRUZthank you for this tutorial, my ps4 is now as quite as a tesla
its only one chip that needs new paste?
ps3 had 2 chips to take care of
@@ciastko2003 the ps4 only needs thermal paste for the silver shiny ✨ square
and as for the 8 ram “Matt Black square’s” surrounding the silver shiny one, that only needs thermal pads. Only if u lost one or more thermal pads
Thank you
Re-post: this has been an awesome video, definitely the best out here but unfortunately my ps4 keeps overheating. I assume its the metal piece (radiator thingy) thats making contact with the paste, thus I cannot use my console…
Even cleaned the paste again and added a bit tad more (less than what you put) and it still overheats…
I can probably help u in a zoom call as a last option
@@FOURsCRUZ appreciate it bro but its ok, I think it might be a part or maybe something I missed ill keep looking and let u know if I make a breakthrough xD
One more question, skip ur vid to 5:12 the metal bar with the paste that would be the heat sink? Bc Im thinking its either that wich will need to be cleaned better or replaced or it might be that whole piece (I mean the power supply) that might be the problem
Something is messing with the cooling…
@@FOURsCRUZ one last question, the fan is suppose to run at all times right? Even if the play station is at a cool temp?
I left the top opened and the fan wasn’t running, it only ran when it overheated
Think I found the problem
@@SnowJ-1001 What do you mean you left the top open? 🤔 Did you solve this problem? I think I might have the same exact problem as you. My PS4 was fine before the repair, everything looked good after the repair, but I think I put too much thermal paste, and I couldn’t hear the fan anymore at the end, possibly messed up the “closing 2 clicks” part because I only heard one click.. lol. Mad at myself for trying to be proactive with this repair. Bro did a good job with the video though.. thanks for any reply.
@@dondollaz1832 Well I was confused bc I didn’t know why my console kept overheating, so I desided to leave the top open so I could see if the fan was running or not
The fan should always be running, it should not stop. Mine stopped and turned on alot wich wasn’t normal so I bought a new fan and replaced it and it worked, so try that if you want
