Lol was extremely helpful Tip 4 anyone doing this, when putting it back together, dont skip any part of the vid, I skipped, and ended up with 2 extra screws at the end🤦♂️
Thank you so much, this tutorial gave me the confidence to finally attempt the surgery on my old friend and it was a great success. The power source cable on the board was the hardest part for me but it went very smoothly from there. Good camera work and step by step. For anyone attempting it take your time, and two mistakes I found in other comments: around 8:00 there's a black screw on the mother board near the wifi antenna connector, take it off before flipping it. And the blue strip connector on your disk reader, push the metal connector DOWN gently to unplug it. Other than that perfect video.
Decided to finally clean the inside of my PS4 because it continually sounded like a jet engine on most games xD Your video really made the process easy and I couldn't be happier with the results. It sounds brand new now! Thank you so much.
Just completed dust removal and thermal paste Replace using this video and the results are amazing. Went from jet engine taking off too I can bearly hear it. If you are having heat issues and a loud ps4 fan highly suggest using this video
A new fan, thermal cement, and thermal pads cost me $35.00 U.S. Thanks for the fantastic and easy to follow instructions, man. PS4 sounds and runs like new again. Thanks a lot!
My fan blades had dust caked on. First time opening the PS4 since we got it (had to be over 5 years). I couldn't get the stuff off, so I tried removing the fan and soaking it in 91% isopropyl alcohol. The stuff practically melted off! I still had to take a reusable straw cleaning brush and clean between the blades, but I didn't think it would work as well as it did. Thank you for this tutorial! It saved another PS4 from getting thrown out.
@GoCellPhoneRepair I tried taking pictures of most of the teardown, but forgot to get a Pic of the screws that he'll in the fan. Were they Phillips or the Torx?
My ps4 is almost 10 years old and I have long since upgraded to the ps5. However, my son (5) uses the ps4 to play NASCAR and Monster Jam. Over the years the ps4 has gotten progressively louder and warmer. Yesterday we noticed it would turn on, but we couldn't go past the sign-in screen. I used this video to tear apart the console and clean out all of the dust and grime. I put it back together and it is so quite and works great, Thanks a ton! This is an older video, but it was still so useful for me.
Great video! I was able to completely clean tons of dust out of my PS4, change the thermal paste, & put it back together with no problems, thanks to this video. My PS4 is now virtually silent, as if it was new again. Thank you!!
Best video and by far the best actual tutorial on how to clean or just fix your ps4 you literally saved me 436 bucks, and let me say my ps4 was loud af before but now it’s silent af no matter what game I play
oh my God you truly saved me I bought a PS4 off of OfferUp for my son for Christmas and here recently after him playing it for a few hours it shuts off on them and I looked at some videos and a lot of them were saying and it was overheating and to the touch it was so I found your video and was able to take it all the way apart to get to the fan to clean it and you would not believe how bad it was on the inside now it's running perfect thank you so much. also you now have a new subscriber
Also the "screws" at 16:30 area.. are those Phillips head or torx? I have now disassembled 4x and am reassembling the 4th time, I always have one torx or one Phillips left because only one guide on UA-cam has the "screw" description and even then they skip a spot or two other videos show.
thanks for the video! Workd flawlessy! PS4 was dirty dirty! Opened after 13 years. PS4 White Edition CU116A, works so good now and silent! Apreciate to watch
Thank you, used your tutorial to clean out, re-paste and re-thermal pad the alternate variant of the one you did. Sadly I was left over with one t9 screw. I'll save it, never know when It will be needed.
Thanks! I am a fan of iFixit and have to say that their videos kind of inspired me to make my own in a different way that I thought might be more helpful for some. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
@@GoCellPhoneRepair I am a fan of them as well! It was just frustrating that their PS4 tear down video was mostly a slideshow. They did do another tear down video on Adam Savage's Tested channel but that was less informal and not much of a guide.
I snapped the power supply wire connector off the motherboard, thanks alot. Should of pulled wire out of power supply before pulling power supply out. Thanks alot. Great video 10/10 now I can't use my ps4
Just did this.It took me a couple hours but I did it step by step.However,what I didn't do the end where you get to the fan.I didn't have the adhesive pads but I figured since I cleaned the fan descent enough from where I could get to it,it will be fine. Thank you and it was rather simple.
What is that protection at 19:55 on the grey metal plate that looks like white paper/tissue ? Should there be a contact between the thermal paste on the CPU and a thermal pad on the other side ? Thanks in advance.
very helpful, thank you! i wasn’t able to detach the little black cable to the power supply but i only needed to clean the fan so it worked out in the end
@@trillaa.jayyyjay7120 I used a metal mechanics parts holder. Looks almost like a little stainless steel dog food bowl and it has a magnet on the bottom. They are inexpensive and can be found in different sizes of round or rectangular. Wally world and car parts houses carry them. Other large parts were stored starting with the bottom of the PS4 on bottom and stacking them carefully.
I just needed to see the removal of the shell casing part because years ago my ps4 casing was damaged while Shipping it in for an HDMI socket replacement. The Repair went fine but some careless UPS delivery guy was tossing my PS4 around like a foot ball apparently and had somehow knocked a quarter size chunk out of the bottom part of the casing.
My ps4 was already a few years old when this video was made, and I'd never done a full tear down and thermal paste change until today, out of fear of breaking the old thing. Needless to say, I can now game without worrying I'm gonna wake up 87 year old Mrs Mrnka next door cause I'm firing a Falcon Heavy off in my bedroom at night 😅 Thanks man, great tutorial 👍
I cant screw the final long screw on the power supply unit for some reason ... its just the left screw ... i kept taking out and putting back in power supply but still wont screw
Took the whole Console apart and now having more issues. The console starts to load up and beeps three times and is off. I seen that the thermal paste was super dried up and was chalky and falling off. I am gonna buy more paste today and try again. Hope that it fixes that issue that I assume is just overheating.
Thank you kindly, I was having issues with the disc drive not taking any discs. I followed your video closely to disassemble the console and found an odd sticker inside of the disc drive, I took it out and the console takes discs no problem again.
Idk if this will get a response, but I didnt have those pads on my fan, I ordered a new fan to replace it with(apparently compatibility doesn't mean correct). Anyways the pads, what are they, I can't find any explanation of how to replace them, or what to use.
Took it apart up to the power supply, didnt remove any of the power supply plugs. Cleaned and brushed some of the dust. Cleaned what i could from the fan. Put it back together and turned it on and heard a loud pop. now the ps4 wont turn on. no there were no roaches in the power supply. how can this happen?
I've replaced my motherboard that was a 5pin connector with one that is now a 4pin I've also swapped out the PSU for the 4pin is there anything else I need to change am I right in saying I need a diffrent logic board to match these two new components?
for me every thing was going well untill when i was disconnenting cable for fan instead of lifting it up i pulled it and it broke but still i managed to wire it the copper head ends of wire and firmly place it on board where it gets connected 😞
Sounds like you are attempting to use a regular Torx screwdriver. The PS4 has Torx security screws and there is a driver that has a hole in the center for that reason. I have product links in the video description but you can also usually find one at a hardware or auto parts supply store.
@@GoCellPhoneRepair Yeah, I realized this, dumb mistake on my part. Thank you for the quick response, though. And I subbed for the amazing tutorial. Hopefully, you have one on the ps5 also.
Thank you for the guide, and I'm replacing the fan in my console. However the fan I received didn't have the gray "fuzzy" tap along the bottom edge of the fan (shown @ 15:33), is that something I should be worried about to replace? If so what should I be looking at?
Once i was complete with assembling it back together and cleaning the dust out , i turned it on and it gave me 3 flashing red lights and shut back down. I did everything I was supposed to do.
I need a new power supply my ps4 just got struck by lighting and it smells burnt in the back what kind of model power supply do i need to replace for the ps4 model 1115A?
Go Cell Phone Repair yeah thats why I want to see how it's done for when I hopefully get the God of war version next month. I'm thinking on applying liquid metal for the first time.
Can i take the mother board out to replace the rhermal paste without opening the other side like the power supply and the other stuff? Because i have one of the power supply screw stuck i couldn’t open it
Not without creating more problems. If you take a look at 5:25, you'll see that there are several cables and an antenna wire that need to be detached from the motherboard. They are located under the power supply. You might try a larger bit, cutting a straight slot into the screw head and using a flat blade to remove it, or in the worst case you may need to drill out the top of the screw. It's never fun but there are ways to get past a stripped screw.
@@GoCellPhoneRepair thank you and sorry for bothering you but i have just one more question..if I was able to take out the power supply screw is it ok not to put it back and just put one screw?
Great video about time someone did one without stupid music and the video on fast forward. So thank you I like you said "once you take off this the gel will need to be replaced" ok not exact quote but you know what I mean. Only thing I note different that I have seen is when adding the new gel I've seen people cover the chip with a plastic tool,card what not that's the only thing I've seen any different but I just did my PS4 from this video thanks again
every ps4 instruct i see has 3 screws holding lower cover. my ps4 does not. it has 1 screw in the middle none on the sides. ive checked for stickers there are none. on the sides there are louvers where the screws are shown.
They can be a real pain. A set of hobby sized needle nosed pliers can help but you have to be extremely careful not to damage the connector in the process.
The three beeps indicates that you have a problem. Kind of like the "Check Engine" light in a car. See if anything shows up on the TV screen that it's connected to and watch the light on your console. Is it white, blue, etc. You should be able to get more info by googling the symptoms.
Do you have anything on the PS3, not just disassembly but what typically fails in them and if they are repairable? I've had 4 of them here that don't work for several months, but haven't gotten around to looking at them just because I don't really know where to start. Looking at them from the outside, the vents appear to be totally plugged up with dust. I've heard stories about the BGA processor chip developing solder fractures due to overheating and people baking the board in an over to re-flow the solder but not sure if that's a good idea. (And I've heard it can stink up the house too.) Any advice or insight on these would be greatly appreciated. Once they overheat, are they repairable, or pretty much junk when that happens? Thanks much.
Not yet. I only recently started working with game consoles. When I come across one I'll definitely make at least a tear down video. There is a video of a guy re-balling the processor of either the PS3 or PS4 but he had some specialized equipment that probably is not worth getting if only for the PS3. Not too many people at least around here that will put much money into that model due to it's age and resale value.
Glass? That's interesting. When you get to the step where the panel is removed just see if it feels like there are still screws holding it in place. If so then I'd say yes there must be screws underneath. Is yours a CUH-1115A or something different?
I'm not sure exactly how thick those are. At the time of this video, there were some for sale online but since that time they are no longer available because it has been determined, so I am told, that you should use the originals or get some from a donor console. Otherwise, you will probably do more harm than good using something that isn't precisely to spec; you're better off missing a pad or two than substituting something other than an original.

There is a video of a guy re-balling the processor of either the PS3 or PS4 but he had some specialized equipment that probably is not worth getting if only for the PS3. Not too many people at least around here that will put much money into that model due to it's age and resale value.
What does the screw look like? I NEED HELP😿
Mine is the same model but for some reason the bottom cover of the PS4 is so snug that I feel like I am going to break it. Please help.
How do I not mix ups screws
So I've gotten to the fan and the heatsink and cleaned it but it's still over heating, is it possible that I might have to replace them
Did you replace the thermal paste?
Smokejaguars67114 have you found a solution??
It helped and i got everything clean but the top of my ps4 still get really hot why?
How much pin was the power supply??
Is there a difference between 1116a and 1115a?
@GoCellPhoneRepair mine has glass on the 2 ends instead of stickers? Is there still a screw underneath or do I have to get just the middle one?
Glass? That's interesting. When you get to the step where the panel is removed just see if it feels like there are still screws holding it in place. If so then I'd say yes there must be screws underneath. Is yours a CUH-1115A or something different?
Go Cell Phone Repair it's a 1115a
What thickness did u use on thermal pads?
I'm not sure exactly how thick those are. At the time of this video, there were some for sale online but since that time they are no longer available because it has been determined, so I am told, that you should use the originals or get some from a donor console. Otherwise, you will probably do more harm than good using something that isn't precisely to spec; you're better off missing a pad or two than substituting something other than an original.
@@GoCellPhoneRepair I got it! Thanks!
All the covers come off after removing screws on the back. None of the power supply ones go into the covers.
