    I kept mine on window ledge with window open, until neighbours complained, and local airport took me to court as the pilots couldn't concentrate when testing the jet engines. so I took it apart and now run my 12 room central heating radiotors off it. It's that loud, I'm colour-blind from it

    Hey Steve, just want to say thanks for your videos. My ps4 Pro was over heating and from watching your videos I got the confidence to do the full teardown, replace thermal pads and paste and clean the heat sink.... The ps4 Pro looked clean right up until the heat sink came out... Then, wow... Like a curtain of dust across the fan side... Now it runs like its not even on. So thanks! And to everyone not sure they can do this job you can! , just follow it step by step and have right tools... Mainly torx 8 security screwdriver

And it’s god damn silent!!!
    How satisfying!!

  • @Lights480
    @Lights480 3 года назад +7

    There is another possibility that we all should take note.
    APU of the PS4 can be bulging and not flat as it should be. This reduced further the thermal transfer rate to the heatsink and potentially overheat below its official ambient temperature max. tolerance.
    Look out that bulging Apu when you have the chance to disassemble it for replacing the thermal paste, the bios battery and general cleaning.

    Now it works perfectly fine.
    Thanks Again.
    It first used to just blink the blue light than goes off without turning fan on. But after i changed the Power Supply adapter. It kept blinking the blue light than finally red than off it goes with the fan turning on this time..
    Than i released the problem was the power adapter and the heat sink too.

My PS4 wasn't shutting off and telling me it was over heating until I tore it apart to clean it, so hopefully it is just due to the thermal paste, but I will also be paying attention to the other points you made this time. Plus it doesn't help my machine living in Arizona. Again, thank you...

    I know this video is old, but I might as well toss the question anyway. Right now my PS4 has an issue wherein it just turns off/crashes. What I mean is it'll happen without warning where the picture on screen will just start flickering black, lose signal, then the console will beep and finally turn off. Is it overheating? is it just dirty (haven't opened it up at all), or is it a goner at this point?

    2 PS4's I've had, were fixed by completely opening them following ifixit's guide (Fan replacement guide), and when i saw the thermal paste, it was thick, dry and gloopy and didn't seem very conductive. Replaced it with NT-H1 paste and got it back together, I never even heard the fans again. I don't understand why Sony skimped out on such a cheap thermal paste.

    I'm just now starting to get these overheating warnings...after watching this video, I'm sure it's due to a bunch of dust on the inside. I'll turn on my PS4 & it won't even be an hour yet when I start getting the warnings so the PS4 is never really hot to the touch. However, I don't wanna open this up myself as I fear I'll just mess up the internals

    • @ss4goku9695
      @ss4goku9695 8 лет назад +20

      gameplay is much more demanding on the console than simply watching Netflix. fix it by taking of the bottom cover, by removing screws in the back, and clean the fan. if you want to go the extra mile replace the thermal paste, use a good quality one like AS5.

      This is a common issue with older ps4 models. Take your playstation outside. Go start your car and pop the hood. Get your jumper cables and attach the red cable to the positive terminal (the side with the "+" on it). Then connect the black cable to the negative terminal (this side will be marked with a "-" sign). Now attach each cable to the corresponding ear. Have a friend hit the gas a few times while you hold the ps4 with both hands.
      Should run like it's fresh outta the factory! Good luck and be sure you record a video to post on youtube to assist anyone else who may encounter a similar issue! Hope this helps!!

    my ps4 stopped transmitting video while I was playing with a loud humming sound. had the constant blue light of death for a few days until I opened and tightened the apu down. everything cut back on for about 10-15 min before no video and humming again.
    checked the thermal paste, old and crusty; opened and cleaned all that was in this video and reapplied new paste.
