PS4 Slim Detailed Assembly - Thermal Paste Replacement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2024
- We show in detail how to assemble a PS4 Slim consols.
In a previous video we did a teardown of the PS4 Slim. In this video we take that same console and show how to assemble each part of it.
We start with the disc drive (blu ray drive) and fan already installed then apply thermal paste onto the APU and install the motherboard into the console frame. We then put the bottom metal plate in and plug in the disc drive ribbon cables. After those are connected we put the APU spacer and clamp on then screw the top metal plate down.
After that's done we show how to install the power supply and wifi cables. Once that's done it's time for the outer plastic shell pieces.
Once those are done we are finished with the assembly.

I love watching this guy. He is so patient and shows you every step. In my book thats how a professional does their job. Always gets a thumbs up from me.
Absolutely. This man has taught me everything I know and I am beyond thankful
I'm going to be honest. This has shown me how to assemble it and made me learn drastically, thank you. As a young teen it's been really helpful and saved Soo much money. Thank you!😀
Just finished taking my PS4 apart and putting it back together to clean. I love how you went through this video, I couldn’t have done it on my own. Thank you so much!
These two videos were so incredibly helpful. Not only did I get to clean years of dust from my ps4, but it fixed the disc reading issue I was experiencing. Thank you so much!
I put it back together with less screws than I took it apart with. That means I’m better than Sony’s engineers….right?
@user-my2is5mm5j I can't take apart any electronic and have 0 screws left at the end. I intentionally left a few out of an old hp laptop cause they're were maybe 100 screws holding in the mother board
I'ma be honest with you, your console has less screws than mine, I have around 4 extra. I took my console apart using your disassembly video, I used a pocket knife for the Philipps screws, and needle nose pliers to grip the "special" screws and tediously unscrewed them, didn't strip one screw. I'm no professional, but I'm a smoker and live in a basement, eventually I got tired of my console sounding like it was getting ready for a Nascar race. I bought it used, and turns out they never took it apart as the sticker and everything was intact. Putting it back together I did manage to end up with 2 extra screws a black and silver, even with placing them exactly in the order I took them out, however honestly I have never heard this thing so silent, and it doesn't get hot anymore. I've been having these problems since I got it, but they only got worse, so thank you for the help with this video, man. I greatly appreciate it.
I thought my ps4 was done for😭
I can't thank you enough my man, I now know how to take it apart and put it together again, cleaned it out, works perfectly.
I followed your both assembly and disassembly video including thermal paste...turns out that you made me do it really fine...thanks really great video...you saved my money...love from India..god bless
Glad this helped!
Share this video with your family and friends. He deserves our loyalty as he is loyal to us.
Dude thanks so much that helped me a lot! I can barely hear anything coming out of my PS4 anymore :)
So glad this helped.
@@Tronicsfix you don't know how happy I was to finally clean my PS4, since I've had it for over 2 years now and never cleaned it once :)
@@Tronicsfix yo I need help with my ps4 I was cleaning it and when I turned it on afterwards it made a jet like sound with increasing pitch and suddenly turned off and I feel like if i turn it on again it’s gonna explode, what should I do?
@@dr.dominator9578 is there a cord in the fan or sumn
@@Tronicsfix dvgvrubfrg q , no b q b ok
Thanks for your videos. My son and I took apart his PS4 and cleaned all the dust and reapplied heatsink compound as we noticed the fans spinning up a lot. Great experience we both learned lots and the satisfaction when put back together, the PS4 started up fine. Appreciate the videos. Good stuff!
Damn, without your help I wouldn't have figured out how to disassemble, change the thermal paste and reassemble my PS4 slim. Thank you for your beautiful guide!1
A little difficulty that occurred to me was that sometimes I don't know where to screw up some screws, specifically those of the plate up to the motherboard (the silver screws), because there are two types woth different lengths.
Except for this little detail, this video and the previous (the teardown) are literally a life saver.
They allowed me to save more or less 90 euros!
So, thank you sincerely! 💪🏼😊
Replaced the thermal paste and thermal pads with this video. huge help, my ps4 kept shutting down for overheating, thanks again!
You're welcome...glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this video and your teardown video. After watching your teardown video I got curious and went a little too far than what I was comfortable with. I wasn't sure if I could put it back together but with your help, I was able to and it still works I'm so glad.
Thanks so much for your detailed videos. I used your PS4 Slim teardown, HDMI port replacement and re-assembly videos to fix a friends PS4 Slim. It was my first time trying to do surface mount,and I did a pretty nasty job of it, but it works and the PS4 slim is back in service.
This video is gold. i love the amount of detail you show to completely fix our PS4's
great video, that should help others get their thermal paste replace much easier. =)
Thanks!
Is it ok. It to clean some areas in the apu, I notice those cpctors or resistora has paste
Very helpful, took the PS4 apart to clean & inspect the optical drive. I finally got to it, did the C/I thing & wanted to cry when I looked at my PS4 everywhere.
. . . What"s the next video ? . . HOW TO REBUILD YOUR PS4 ! I love these guys, I"m watching a movie right now.
5:19 I came here cause I accidentally mixed up my screws. Got excited when he mentioned them.....turns out he puts them in off camera...
Did you figure it out??
i wish he showed us which screws went where exactly cause im lost on where the longer and smaller ones go
By chance did you ever find a video to show you what screws went where?
@@kennytaylor2837 have you found one ?
@@SwayNotZay no.. just luckily I figured it out on my own. thanks though..I appreciate it..
Nova's Personal Channel This is why you chart where the screws came from
I made sure to take pics of where all the unique ones go, like the shorter ones
Should mention that Black screws are going in to the motherboard, white screws are in to the body (plastic) and the very small white screws connect between the metal plates.
Thank you. Just spent 45 minutes trying to find a video that shows which wire goes to G and which one to B
Very good vid! Just put my brother's 4 year old PS4 back together, hope it works. Tested for power, it got it, so good enough for me haha
Me ha servido Amigo, muchas gracias.
Saludos desde Tierra de Lagos y Volcanes... Nicaragua.
can't wait till the next vid because that's exactly what I was going to ask if you could do haha. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
I am LOVING the fact that my metal plates have a completely different screw layout from yours, makes it really fun to reassemble it
Thank god almighty for this lmao love this vid
Wow it's pretty well built. Sony always finds away to cram everything into a smaller box.
It seems to be built pretty well.
Eh, when my warranty expires I might do this. I've done a good number of laptop teardowns just for the fun of it, this looks about the same difficulty, maybe a little easier.
I bought the slim a few days ago , love it 👌
Nice...I've barely used this one.
Did you ever replaced the thermal paste? Mine has 1.5 years, and I am starting wondering if I need to replace it...
@@artyom_1553 pls if it works fine dont touch it. Mine never turned back on.
Thanx dude it was a nightmare now my ps is working just fine.
Remember to turn the screw opposite way of screwing in until you feel the screw slot in the threads then you can screw it in without stripping the threads
Please help with this: Does anyone here know what brand is recommended and what size in millimeters for the thermal pads of the ps4 slim ???? Thanks in advance
1mm, doesn't matter the brand
Great Contin great explanation messages well received. I have a PS4 they had over three years and it look like my TV was having a seizure or something and then my PS4 wouldn’t start the next day; I hope I just need to clean it thoroughly so I’m gonna take it apart now cleaning with the cold air spray hopefully that does it but if it does not really going to try to take it apart and do what you’re doing or send it into Sony or yourself!?! Ty.
The perfect amount of thermal paste ;)
Perfect amount of thermal paste
Nice video. Slightly useful. All except for the parts that don’t match up to my slim lol.
Thank you bud you’re awesome and your channel i just replaced my fan and thermal paste wish me luck I’m hoping I get to play my ps4 slim cub-2215b today
did it work?
Hi was wondering if this thermal pad would work with the PS4/slim/pro great videos
Thanks bro you helped me so much whit desasembling and assembling
Thank you very much for the fantastic tutorial.
For the tape that holds down the cable my dad broke the tape that was supposed to be there can we use any tape?
Going to attempt a thermal past replacement end of the month hope it goes smoothly 🤞🏻
You got this! Just go slow and be careful. Good luck!
@@Tronicsfix Just did it took me 4 hours was super stressed there a 3 extra screws don't remember where they go an a small bracket clip under the power supply but other than that she's super quiet
Is it okay u didn't clean the remaining thermal paste on those cpctors? I know it's not conductive but can those produce more heat?
I wanted to ask the same…
Great video bro! I hope it starts on jajaja
great work
can i ask for the warranty sticker
it can be replaced or not because im gonna buy a used ps4 slim
please answer me
I got a ps4 slim that's overheating so I'm going to attempt this feat. Going to buy an external hard drive first to save all my games and progress juuussssstttt in case I F up 😌😂
Ever tear down an electronic object and say "Damn, Humans made this!?".
Ha, ha...yep
No robots did
What toolkit do you use to open up the ps4 slim(screws)?
Thank you for this video
Nice video bro.
Thanks bro!
Hello, Is kryonaut good also? I'm planning to replace mine too.
I left the old paste but cleaned the fan, motherboard and heat sink it blows out cold air even when I play a game so it’s cooler to be more specific half of the heat sink was caked with dust I just used a brush to clean it. I did the same with my old Xbox 360 because it was getting soo hot especially when I was playing gta V.
You put the WiFi antenna on wrong mate the metal clip also attaches to the mid frame there’s a little slit it connects the power supply to the mid frame that’s the only reason you even have to take the screw out for it cuz otherwise you be able to leave it on when you took power supply out
SO NICE BRO
Good video!
Steve great video, could you please give me a link to amazon where I can buy that blue bottle for the Isopropyl alcohol. Looks awesome.
I would just use regular rubbing alcohol.
Steve’s busy right now he’s currently working on bender bending Rodriguez from Futurama and working on his car he needs new blinker fluid and his trunk airbag went off so if you call back during business hours I’m sure the dog will start barking at you and the pizzas ready so if you move the furniture we can get started thank you have a good day. Lol
Would b spot on if the screws were explained more there is different size silver screws
Can you do a Teardown Alienware Aurora R5 and review plaese. thank you
If enough people want to see it!
TronicsFix 2 people only lmao
Also did you make the video?
Guess I’ll repast mine with some MX-4 it’s way better than arctic silver *( gotta be careful with it, it conducts electricity )* that stuff was great in the 90’s and early 2000’s but now days it’s sub par in my eyes got some Kinpin Kpx otw for my 5900X and 3080 Ti closest paste I’ve found to liquid metal without being liquid metal
Hey I did everything right only to find 3 small thermal pads from the under of motherboard . Should I be concerned what are the long term affects ??
Hey I watch your videos a lot to help me clean my systems and apply new pastes , after I replaced my paste my slims fan is like going nuts and my system sounds like it's gunna blow up .
Do u have any videos that can help me fix this issue :( ?
thankyou , incredibly helpful.
If im doing this on a 2013 model 1000 series PS4 should I also replace the thermal pads since they are 8 years old or should they be fine?
I was almost finished with my ps4 slim and a screw fell below motherboard now i have ti take everytthing back out : * )
Thanks my wyfy wire snapped and I couldn't figure out where it went
How long before i should do that to a brand new console? (2 hr / day of avg gameplay)
Does the thermal paste help with the sound? Mines loud even after I cleaned it
Man... The heatsink on your ps4 slim is at least double the size of mine.
I've been concerned that my PS4 gets too hot, as the rear end of the console gets very warm. Wasnt sure if it was a fan/heatsink issue or if its something else. Im gonna watch on this in the meantime to see if maybe thermal paste will help
like 9 yrs ago I loss one of those pads on my ps3 console...but still runs :') fine
& wonder if ps4 will last that long without one of those small pads
fat ver.
Some of them are probably essential...some of them probably don't matter as much.
PS4 VS PS4 SLIM... can u make a video on that?
Maybe...anything specific about them you want to see?
gameplay, FPS, graphics quality... these things.
if u find some diffrence then let us know
there arent any
Will my ps4 slim work with a power pack from another ps4 slim also do I need to use antena from old one?
Anyone else get a little nerviness when he tightened on APU screw all the way then the other? Maybe it's not the same as PC's CPU but I personally would do it evenly.
Edit: the reason to do it evenly is to distribute the thermal paste more evenly. But I do imagine as it is still a sensitive part that the technique of making a few turns at a time with a hand tool would be more ideal. Regardless of skill/experience. Just my own two cents, take it or leave it.
Yeah normally I screw it in evenly so none of the thermal paste would leak on to the components
Does it matter which APU clamp screws go into which hole
Is one less conductive than the other?
Can you do a video of blue light of death i am going through that
You should show how to put on the bottom part because saying slide it in doesnt help
Thank you so much
I can't even get the harddrive back in the PS4 and I've been trying everything
Can you use vodka to clean the plate off?
Did you get an improvement after this? less noise maybe? It's sad that you can't compare the temperature before and after :/
Platinum tbh the system is pretty much dead quiet when running
Please suggest how I can fix louder fan noise. I am using gelid thermal pads 1.5 mm with conductivity w/mk 12 but it’s still have louder fan.
Thermal paste I am using arctic mx4.
Thanks
Thank you!!
Hi 7w/mk thermal pads and arctic cooling mx2 paste will be all right for ps4 slim ?
A part came out during reassemble and I’m not sure where it goes. It looks like a small bracket and it says “b5” on it.
Hi, i have a question, i just changed the paste to MX 4, and when i turned on the console went ok, it took a little more to boot, but it went on.
The thing is, i initiate a game and then it shuted down, i don't know if a i put a lot of paste or little paste, but i tried to imitate the size of your paste, but what i see while watching your video again, is that the pad that is in the right side of the second processor (The SIE that is near the EXT and HDMI port) doesn't have a Tpad, does that can make the PS4 go off?, right now if i let cool the console it can boot, my second question is, what thermal pad do you recommend?, and other question, can i put a little paste in those pad's? or that can create a bad transfer of heat?.
Hay techtronic's I just followed your guide to strip down my ps4 slim and replaced my disc drive as it was coming up unrecognized disc error and put it back together with brand new disc drive installed and still coming up with unrecognized disc message any advice what could be causing this issue??
Thanks in advance
I took my PS4 slim apart and took the antenna out. My antenna was plug in on the green square. My green square doesn’t have a good brick/square on it. Is that bad?
I went through the steps and apparently I cant put the ps4 in safe mode after assembling it. Any thoughts?
Is the plate, which touches the chip, aluminum or nickel plated copper. id like to use liquid metal for this procedure.
I'm pretty sure aluminium
Thank you!
my ps4 acting like i put a disc on it "unrecognized dis" each time i turn it on, after i clean it and changed thermal paste.
I did all if this to fix my disc ejector, its working but slowly ejects the disk, and when yiu out a disk in its kinda loud
Help i put a non branded thermal paste in my ps4 because its dried up then suddenly i play nba2k20 and my fan turns out so loud i clean both heatsink and the fan properly. Should i replace a good thermal paste? Thanks
Thanks but I don't have the thing on the power supply and I Do have the big metal plate
I have 2 small metal parts help please they seem to be grounding plates, one is black and screws with 2 screws and one is small shiny tin whit one screw they just came fo an d fell when I was disassembling for cleaning. Thank you
Same a black then fell out when I took only the top off to clean mine
@@mrramrod8562 I found the video in wich someone shows they go unde the fan cover the black one is not so important but the silver one might be grounding and it connects the fan cover to the CD reader
I bet it goes to the wifi antenna connector
It has an attachment below the CD reader
@@matthewthomas7339I found a detailed video that showed where the 2 metal parts went. Thank you!
Where does the wing nut looking thing go? I didn't see the stupid thing until I heard it hit the floor.
@TronicsFix do i need to remove the power supply to grt to the thermal paste? I need to clean my ps4 and i seen your video for that but i cannot find a video for getting to the thermal paste. Can you help please?
When i replace thermal paste on PS4 how much time i must wait before turn it on for playing?
None...just turn it on and play!
@@Tronicsfix Thanks for the fast answer mate. You are great.
Question, my PS4 slim is 7 years old and becomes very laggy . Can this be caused by the thermale paste ?
A few pads fell off of the ram chips. Can I reattach the little pads on the rams with a drop of thermal paste ?
Anyone know why my disk drive now doesn't work? All cables in none damaged and I did not take it apart to the point that I needed to put thermal paste in (only cleaned heatsink/power/1 side of motherboard)
