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.
I was trying to pull it off, but when I read your comment I stopped. Let's hope it still works Update: it's working amazing. Just like it's new! Thank God I don't have the airplane sound anymore 😂
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
Mine is matted I’m dirt and grime. The rest of the cocnsole looks fine too me just the fan was absolutely filthy. I hope it’s all I have to clean. I have a Spider-Man ps4 pro and haven’t played it in a while do to noise and my console would overheat and crash
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've gone far in a different video named "PS4 PRO Deep Cleaning" but that's mostly if you also want to replace the thermal paste, in most cases a simple cleaning like this is enough
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.
Cleaned it (it does have some rust or corrosion but thankfully on nothing more than the metal and plastic and nothing vital), thanks to watching this. I wish the PS4 Pro was as open friendly as the PS3 slim or even the PS4 slim. :(
Good job explaining how the wires clipped to the board. I tried removing the power supply the way you demonstrated and the entire plug ripped off the board. Thanks, my ps4 is now useless you hack!
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.
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
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.
Same, because instructions were wrong, some models apparently have this part glued, so you can't disconnect it. The other end needs to be disconnected.
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
If a mini vacuum cleaner is the handheld type, that won’t do much and is not powerful enough if your PS4 Pro got some really amount of dust in there. If you check this video ruclips.net/video/82V_kWSkgHA/видео.html you can see the large amount of dust is stuck on the other side of radiator so unless you wanna fully disassembly it, you need a powerful vacuum cleaner. If you’re ready for a complete teardown, then you don’t need a vacuum at all
Thanks for this, just cleaned my ps4 pro for the first time. It was quite clean to be fair, but im hoping this will resolve slight glitches i started getting recently.
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...
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
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.
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
Bruh your not supposed to take it off. It's easily breakable and now you gotta buy yourself a soldiering kit which cost less than $20 and basically attached it back
CAREFUL!!! Power supply cable can be detached. As he pulls it, it looks easy. Mine snapped off. Don't fully pull the power supply out if you use this video. You can clean it without doing so.
It doesnt matter what i do my playstation is loud asf i cleaned it throughly and still it sounds like its about to take off it sounds like jett engines idleing
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
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.
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
I tried but ended up not having too. I thought it was supposed to come out because it was hard at first but I figured out that you just pull out the supply and that rubber screw will come out alone
I have the same issue. I accidentally pulled the connector completely off the motherboard and now it needs soldering to get it to attach and I don’t know how to solder. Did you find any solutions? 😢
It's ok to handle, but just don't put anything inside the casing. Capasitors could shock you even after dissabled, but it's actually virtually impossible to insert like your hands inside components.
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.
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.

Gon clean mine out right now too
Mine is the same I can't even play certain game, hopefully I can get it clean soon I can see the dust insofar already.
GG’S
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.
😂
Same
That's how badly clogged up your fan was.😂😂😂😂😂
😂 same
There are different ps4 models, the first video I searched was different tear down. Thankfully I found you.
After watching this video, I know that you are a man of focus, commitment and sheer rocking will
baba yaga
Gosh i cant take off the front cover
Try taking it out while wiggling the whole ps4. Worked for me. Just wiggle the WHOLE ps4 up and down very fast while pulling up the cover
It happens the first time you do it
It is very easy with a spoon.
@@That-individual thats really risky
Just use a lot of pressure, dont worry u wont break anything. Same thing happened to me the first time and it all worked out nicely
Followed this tutorial throughly! Works like a charm!! No more loud airport noise! Thank you!

Seems like a lot of people in the comments are having this issue. Maybe y’all just heavy handed?
Skill issue.
Same here😢
I couldn't access the fan in mine, so I clean it from the outisde. Thanks, my ps4 sounds better now.
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
the moment u took out the battery I was "like ok I wont need to go further then that" funny neither did you🤣🤣
😂😂😂 I've gone far in a different video named "PS4 PRO Deep Cleaning" but that's mostly if you also want to replace the thermal paste, in most cases a simple cleaning like this is enough
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
That just happened to me :(
Yeah man me too I’m sad asl now

@@DarthDragon007I think there’s starting to form rust on the metal panel u see when u first take the top off… is that bad or is that ok?
@@line7596 I'd probably take it off and use soap/water maybe alcohol to clean it as best you can then dry it off thoroughly before putting it back..
@@DarthDragon007 I’ll try that! Thank you😊
Skip the step where you pull the cord out, theres enough slack to clean whilst its still attached. Saves you risking damaging the pin
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.
No it won’t lol
It doesnt just run by itself. Lol
Just disconnected the power supply who'll clean a ps4 which is plugged in 😂
Good job explaining how the wires clipped to the board. I tried removing the power supply the way you demonstrated and the entire plug ripped off the board. Thanks, my ps4 is now useless you hack!
Such thing never happened to me
I can't do it it'd hard opening the top I'm afraid I will break it.
Use the back of a spoon
help i cant do this
I can’t take the bottom cover off it’s so hard got a solution??
Try with a flat screw
I wouldn't recommend a vacuum for cleaning a fan unless you keep the fan steady while doing it. Terribly bad on the bearings
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.
Because you pulled too hard maybe
I also made this mistake. About to teach myself to solder so I can fix it. 😅😭
I tried putting out the cable from the Board and i didnt work. Now my ps4 wohnt turn on again 😢
Same 😢
I followed the tutorial and it worked and there is no jet noise thnx bro❤
Thanks for these instructions! These were easy to follow and PS4 Pro is now nicely cleaned 👍
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
Nvm ima dumbass
Great video. I heard that the fan should not turn while cleaning. Thanks
Yes or no
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.
For the plastic parts you can simply use water
i pulled off the power supply from the circuit board, i was pulling where the guy in the video was pulling and the whole thing came off.
Same, because instructions were wrong, some models apparently have this part glued, so you can't disconnect it. The other end needs to be disconnected.
Bro, what? The thing won't budge, how do you open it so easily 😢
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
Tbh I had one over the warranty but broke it off
can I use a mini vacuum cleaner and clean it away so it pulls a little and not break it

How do you remove the bit under the silver plate. Is the middle screw fake?
I can't budge it
Did you try turning it the other way
The screw driver I use just jumps off it. So it's a real screw?
@@SpoodinOot Yea I was using a t8 and it wouldnt budge bc I was turning it the wrong way🤦♂️ then I was able to remove it
Mine has never been open and that screw is a circle. Literally no way to get that off unless i just snap it. Just bs..
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?
Great vid, just cleaned our ps4 pro, thanks to this video! Thanks!!!
I can’t take off the screw on the right, there’s something in the way that won’t let me take it off, it’s in the middle of the socket
Same, I had to scratch out some of that material that's obviousely there to prevent you from opening up the device.
I want to clean my ps4 but i dont want to do alll of that. How often should i clean it?
Once every 2-3 years would be fine

I feel like all you need to do is the first part. After that it’s clean.
I dont have this special screwdriver is there any other way how i do it or i need to by one?
I got the same tr8 screwdriver but those on the metal aren’t coming out it’s like slipping.. what else can I use?
Had same problem, I just used a tr9
Also, never use the air thing to spin the fan. It'll break the fan. Hold it in place with a q tip

That’s completely false
I thought mine wasn't that dirty but man it's so much more silent now
Got to ask,, Did you have it in a sawmill? That looks like wood sawdust, not normal dirt and dust.
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.
