How did you remove the screws that are in the back of the ps4? Because I was able to remove the ones near the hard drive but the 3 screws in the back I can't remove them
Im trying to take the screws off the back of my ps4 to clean the fan but have no tool or similar pens to do it with, but this is a very creative and cool way you have found
THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH. (2nd owner of a PS4 that's never been cleaned. Had to take it apart for a NECESSARY cleaning that proved to be a lovely adventure for my OCD lol. This pen trick did the the job for 3 (Very) specific screws that I didn't have the tool for! This method works when your in a pinch!)
@@alias136 Yup! Hahahaha. I recommend that you get a knife to hollow out the necessary width of the screw in the pens body. It takes a moment but you will Literally be doing what he's doing in the end lol. Just remember to press down firmly while unscrewing!
@@JustD1zz I was just asking because I was able to remove the screws near the hard drive but can't remove the ones that are in the back of the ps4 Now I know that its possible I well try to remove them thanks
it's worth a shot! you may need a thinner piece of plastic to melt, you can even try a little bit of oil in the hole so that the melted plastic doesn't cool and stick to the other plastic
@@something_about_tools thanks for the tip. because i need to open up the clipper case so i can fix the cable. and the manufacturer put a damn security torx there xd
someone else here said they tried it and it worked. I don’t have a ps4 but if they are these kind of screws should be fine. i have used this to open gameboy and sega genesis cartridges before as well.
*Pretty cool trick! Nobody has a video on how to take the teeny tiny ones off pocket knives. Can’t remove the belt clip without taking off those torque screws.*
umm i am trying it, ik i have found this vid so late but i am trying it and i cant get into the screws on the back of my ps4, im so stuck, i used the exact same pen the video said aswell
I will try this today because I brought 4 sets of cheap tools yesterday and 2 of the sets had a piece that fit my ps4, but I rounded them before pulling my console apart so decided to stop... I really wanna clean my fan and am hopeful for this trick
not necessarily, just needs to be a stiff plastic, cant be a pen that bends, needs to be the kind of plastic that will snap if you try to bend it. i have used glitter pens and things, just needs to be thin
A couple years ago, I opened up a microwave by using the ends of 2 paperclips and a pair of pliers... Slowly but surely. Today, my laptop had a size t5 torx screw, and I didn't have any paperclips small enough for the microscope-sized screw. If I had a crystal pen I might have tried your method. Ended up ordering a small electronics screwdriver kit... Will need to fix other small electronics lol.
you king you savior you god among men. ive been frustrated for the past 2 weeks trying to clean my ps4, thank you!!! you are my hero!
Did u use a pen or pen Cap
@@seifahmed2735 pen, the harder the plastic the better. I had to try a few around the house.

You’re the smartest person on the planet, thank you

Hi, did you open your ps4 with the pen?

@@alias136 What kind of PS4 do you have? I have a slim and I believe they are built Different..
@@JustD1zz I have the original one
I well see some vids or pics to see if they are different
Necessity is the mother of invention they said and you proved it.
Your video deserves wayyy more views and likes
Xbox 360 has these can't get them cleaned but I stumbled across this just thanks man
Carefully a legend
You are a Godsend! Thank you! It works!
is there a chance that this method works if the screw is in deep hole with plastic sides?
it's worth a shot! you may need a thinner piece of plastic to melt, you can even try a little bit of oil in the hole so that the melted plastic doesn't cool and stick to the other plastic

Also a flathead screwdriver could work aswell if you have a mighty grip strength to keep pushing into the screw while turning
90% of the audio of this video: you know
the other 10% is "but" or "and uhh"
@@molten_software lmao😂
Omg man that’s so creative 👏🏽👏🏽
You my friend...are a F-Ing GENIUS
I want to unscrew my ps4 screws to clean my fan will this work?
someone else here said they tried it and it worked. I don’t have a ps4 but if they are these kind of screws should be fine. i have used this to open gameboy and sega genesis cartridges before as well.
Ladies and Gentlemen my ps4 is on fire
*Pretty cool trick! Nobody has a video on how to take the teeny tiny ones off pocket knives. Can’t remove the belt clip without taking off those torque screws.*
You might get away with using a very small flat screwdriver, in the torx screw. I have had to use that method as well.
I have a super small screw driver and I have broken all the little middle circles in the middle of the screws now they won’t turn
That's really creative!
umm i am trying it, ik i have found this vid so late but i am trying it and i cant get into the screws on the back of my ps4, im so stuck, i used the exact same pen the video said aswell
That is a pretty cool trick! ; )
Where can I buy these screws
This is a god-send! Also, what do you do if its tight?
I had Pokemon Blue 🔵 I forgot how I opened the Super Nintendo Cartridges to replace the battery. I think my uncle had the tool to remove the screws.
That is so smart holy shit
holy shit thats really smart thanks bro

Do you think this would work with an Xbox controller? I'm trying to clean mine and can't find anything small enough to twist the t-9 screws
Omg....thank you!!
Would glue that you melt work?
you might be able to get away with hot glue if the screws aren't super tight
@@something_about_tools what could i use if they're super tight ?
Goat 💯
my screws are too small for this method lol
you can try a really small flathead screwdriver and jam it next to the security pin, i have had to do that before as well
Wow, thats cool man. Thank you 😅
Thank you so much😍
Does it have to be that specific pen
not necessarily, just needs to be a stiff plastic, cant be a pen that bends, needs to be the kind of plastic that will snap if you try to bend it. i have used glitter pens and things, just needs to be thin
just wow now i can fix my ps4 disc reader
You’re the goat
will it work with torx t5
A couple years ago, I opened up a microwave by using the ends of 2 paperclips and a pair of pliers... Slowly but surely.
Today, my laptop had a size t5 torx screw, and I didn't have any paperclips small enough for the microscope-sized screw. If I had a crystal pen I might have tried your method. Ended up ordering a small electronics screwdriver kit... Will need to fix other small electronics lol.
Thanks it worked for my PS4
I love you man
I'm just trying to fix my psp lcd screen
thank you so much u are awesome
I´ve got even smaller screws on my butterfly knife and im not sure, if such a small screwdriver can even exists lol
Precision screwdriver set exist
Dude thanks so much

Man doesnt work for me it just breaks cause the screws are really tightly screwed in
This is so ducking geniud
Genius
Very nice. Def not a bad idea
Haha I love the name of the video
Very smart!
Il give this a go on my ps4 slim and il update my comment if it works or not. if it does work then thank yu so f-ing much.i neeeeddda clean it out
you are a fucki8n genius thxxxxxxxxxxx
Doesn’t work for ps4 👎
Great help thanks🇮🇪☘️.
Trying to this it just spins
Do*
Over complicated. Take a small screwdriver and snap the security post off. Use a regular T10.
im too young so i cant own a lighter
A solid plastic would work better
Nie polecam zakleiłem se plastikiem wejście
Tried this for my old PS3, didn't work. Took my drill, that did the job.
