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.
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 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
@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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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! 💪🏼😊
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.
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.
@@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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?.
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
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
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?
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
@@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
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
@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?
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
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.
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 :( ?
Im buying artic sliver mx4 for my ps4 original model i had a repair guy replace my thermal paste last month on the 23rd and it was quiet up until now basic games like fallout 4 ramps up my fan i think he used some cheap brand thermal paste so im wondering if artic mx4 is good as artic sliver 5
I was playing on my ps4 slim then the next day I wanted to play and it wouldn't turn on. Can you tell me what happened I know the power supply can be 1 reason but anything els?
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.
Good sir I have made an error and not sure what to do. I do not have the confidence to open the PS4 down into the black powersuppply and heatsync area with that grey antena cable. I have an injury that I know will interfere with that strength and coordination to get it back together like that.. My issue is I got the silver plate that goes over the fan, out but can't get it back in as it's not flat. Also mine had this gummy stuff I am wondering if was thermal paste too.. If so do I need to replace that? I have no experience with it... And finally...I am rural, there is no one to take it to and if there were...I'd never see it again, guaranteed.

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)

Hi Steve, do you know if the ps4 slim ( I have a CUH 2016b model) heat sink is made out of aluminium? I'm about to do a repaste and was wondering if it can take liquid metal.

Is it ok. It to clean some areas in the apu, I notice those cpctors or resistora has paste
Share this video with your family and friends. He deserves our loyalty as he is loyal to us.
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…
I am LOVING the fact that my metal plates have a completely different screw layout from yours, makes it really fun to reassemble it
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..

I made sure to take pics of where all the unique ones go, like the shorter ones

1mm, doesn't matter the brand
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
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 ??
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.
Hi was wondering if this thermal pad would work with the PS4/slim/pro great videos
What toolkit do you use to open up the ps4 slim(screws)?
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??
Does it matter which APU clamp screws go into which hole
Is one less conductive than the other?
Hello, Is kryonaut good also? I'm planning to replace mine too.
Does the thermal paste help with the sound? Mines loud even after I cleaned it
Thank you. Just spent 45 minutes trying to find a video that shows which wire goes to G and which one to B
How long before i should do that to a brand new console? (2 hr / day of avg gameplay)
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?
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!
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
Nice video. Slightly useful. All except for the parts that don’t match up to my slim lol.
Will my ps4 slim work with a power pack from another ps4 slim also do I need to use antena from old one?
Thanks bro you helped me so much whit desasembling and assembling
I went through the steps and apparently I cant put the ps4 in safe mode after assembling it. Any thoughts?

Wow it's pretty well built. Sony always finds away to cram everything into a smaller box.
It seems to be built pretty well.

What is the power rating written on the Power supply unit on the ps4?
Hi Steve, do you know if the ps4 slim ( I have a CUH 2016b model) heat sink is made out of aluminium? I'm about to do a repaste and was wondering if it can take liquid metal.
No I don't.
Thx for the reply. Shame, but i let you know if I find something out.
were you able to find out whether is aluminum or copper? I want to use LM on my regular PS4 as well.
My hard drive won’t fit facing that way mine only fits flipped the other way is that normal
But what about the thermal pads for the bottom plate?
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 done bought 2 new power supply and the plug that disconnects the power supply from the ps4 was different both times I don't understand smh
Can you do a video of blue light of death i am going through that
Does this need thermal paste if it overheats and turns off on its own?
Yes you need to replace it
Thanks but I don't have the thing on the power supply and I Do have the big metal plate
Great video bro! I hope it starts on jajaja
is it okay to use HY 410 thermal grease on my ps4 ?
Where can I buy new thermal pads?
