Is it safe to trim the black stuff inside the playstation?

bless you man because of you i fixed my ps4 , last week it dropped from my bag and didn't accept discs and making noise , today i realise that the fan cover was bend thank you again!
Hello people!I did what i saw on this video and my PS4 slim working like new!No loud anymore and some games runs better and the system failures gones.Thank you very much again!👌Greetings From Greece 🇬🇷
Φίλε αυτά τα πλαστικά τα έκοψες?
@@trogitious268 yes
What happened when it had system failures? Does it just go off???
I don't have a cutter like that. Can I use a knife to cut those black nails?
Thanks for the easy step by step video, followed it and now my PS4 slim isn't overheating anymore
This video is actually refreshing. It’s like what UA-cam was supposed to be all about, Teaching others useful things step by step, or learning things from others step by step.
Straight and to the point without unnecessary bs .
Btw, I’ve seen people grab an air compressor and blow the thing you used a small hand vacuum for, but I think using the air compressor blows the dust into the back of the system right?
Air compressors are useful in many situations but I'd personally avoid it in such situations. With no offense, the air compressor in this situation is the "lazy way" of partially solving the problem. Yes, it blows the dust all around including in other parts of your console. Thank you!
Not necessarily, If you use an air compressor with a vacuum nearby it will minimize the amount of dust flying back into the console
Bro que dice ahí?
My ps4 don’t sound like a fucking jet anymore , thanks bro 😂
@MistyMeAdo lol
Did you really cut the little black things
@@cameronnicholson2563 yeah.
I used to have a friend whose ps4 literally sounded like his fan lmao
☠️☠️
It's very cool to clean ps4 fan without need to open the entire console and breaking the guarantee cover at the back. It shows sony's brilliant engineering.
I think your Garantie ist still voided cause you Cut Theese Black thingies
I've had my PS4 since 2017 and never had a maintenance check until today, when all of my games would just take too long to load games or load things ingame. This might not fix the main issue I have with my PS4 at the moment, but I think it'll make things much more bearable, and for that I thank you so much.
I have a separate video that might help, How to Boost PS4 Performance. That should improve loading times
I'll be sure to check it out, thanks!
I would just like to add... in order to remove the metal plate more easily, it is better to unscrew the power supply and lift it slightly...
It won't go back in 😭
@@Ava-en2cxu ever get it back in? struggling rn
To those who struggles on removing the black rivet, try using a nail cutter/clipper, just trim it after to make the cut more clean looking. 😉
Thank youuu
This is my fault but - PLEASE BE CAREFUL DOING THIS! I just tried this and my finger got cut when my hands slipped 🙃
I may have used a drill 😅
Why do you have to cut it, won’t it not stay on afterwards?
@@HoboJoe11 the only way to remove the cover is to cut the black plastic rivets unlike the past models where they used screws. I guess sony doesnt want us to clean our own systems. 🥲
I’ve owned my ps4 for 5 years now and never once opened it to clean it since I’ve always been too scared of breaking something, but your cleaning tutorial really helped out, thanks a lot bro 👌❤️
Same
after the cleaning did it make noise again?
nope its as silent as new now
@@goshostudio3268
Is it safe to fully remove the black dots?
Because I think its too loose
ive not had any issues it all went back together perfectly fine@@gib3372
I’ve never heard a quiet ps4 in soo long thanks a lot really helped out🔥
Is cutting the black ribbons a bad thing?
@@nsanity7599yeah I think the ps4 is too loose at the end of the video but idk
One of the most important things about cleaning your PlayStation make sure to put the screws in a important place so you can find them also if you have a hard time remembering take pictures of your progression
Bro you are the biggest life saver ever! My ps4 recently started crashing rather each time I turned it on or off and I figured it was the fan not being able to well…fan, I opened it up I uncovered a whole mine down there. Cleaned it up and no more crashing amazing video!
Glad to hear that

@@ramrodbldm9876 you good bro?
We finally broke the plastic welds today after years of wondering why Sony ruined my ps4! When we opened it we pulled out some fibers and seriously questioned if the fan has a filter! We thought we broke it and had to replace it, the dirt was THAT THICK!
Dang this really did a miracle for my ps4. Wasn’t even able to talk on the mic to friends because of how loud ts was… video helped a lot appreciate it!!!
This is absolutely just a joke, but everytime I watch or listen to your videos I feel like I’m being held hostage overseas and if I don’t watch the entire video it’s curtains for me and my entire family! CURTAINS! ☠️
Your voice is exactly what I would want in a James Bond movie if you played the villain, it’s that cool 😎 Thanks for another great video, take care!
:)) Arrr
CURTAINS GOD DAMMIT!!

A friend of mine complained that my ps4 was very loud.
So, I cleaned my ps4 for the second time using this video.
And I gotta say it was as shocking as the first time to hear it so quiet.
Thanks man for showing how to clean up my double turbo jet console fans. It means a lot to me
Incredible video 💯
Easy to understand & very helpful
My PS4 Slim is super quiet 🐁
does ur fps get better?
@@rigjuice734 bro it's cleaning not upgrading the graphics card
@@konstantinospentespitis9691 lol
@@lunaastro6226 lmfao it just sounds less like a jet
Did you fully remove the black plastic dots?
Came back to comment Thank You so much. My son’s PS4 (used to be mine before I upgraded to PS5) was extremely loud and I was considering just giving up and buying him a PS5 but saw your video and for the last two days there is absolutely NO sound and it’s running amazingly. I couldn’t believe how much dirt was caked up on the heatsink. You’ve bought us some time between consoles, I appreciate you bro.
Glad to hear that!
Ngl if I was your son and I saw this comment, I would be sad cus I was so close in getting a brand new ps5 😂
For the fan cleaning,you have to put the earbud between the fan and if you have compressed air just spray it out!
Good thing I never let my PS4 get too dusty to be affected badly with the fan. I also bought a AC Infinity 80mm Fan to place behind my PS4 to keep it cool while gaming long term. The internal fan never kicks in high gear either. Definitely recommend getting one.
Did you put it near the exhaust?
@@FRMC_SALMON Yes, I did. My PS4 to this day is still going strong without kicking its fan in high gear.
@@Sorianobhs you might be blowing hot air back into it...
@@FRMC_SALMON No, it's blowing out the hot air. I'm not blowing air in the vents.
@@Sorianobhs oh nice
For those who feel cutting the little black things will affect the ps4
I tell you it won't
I cleaned mine 10 min ago and it runs like the old days ❤
Wanted to ask you how it's running now? Anything feel loose or rattling around? I'm trying to do as much research as I can before I attempt this
Great video, very easy to follow and repeat. Successfully cleaned mine in about fifteen minutes
My son inserted a coin into the disc sloth. Got the coin out thanks to you! 🤙🏽
Is it safe to cut all of those plastic screwdriver?
Just trim them back a little
Best video out here for cleaning. Close up and simple. Amazing!
Ye
Great easy video. I will say watch out for the little spring that attaches in the back that allows for your disks to be inserted. I’m not sure what’s it’s technically called but mine came off and I had to figure that out lol.
Sam send I can’t get the plate back on now
I really pray this works for me. I can’t even play RDO anymore because it keeps saying too hot and goes off.
Thank you very very much man! Thank you so much!!!
I’m glad you can play Red Dead Online again
Any issues with the black pieces, carefully use a utility or thin blade knife. If you scratch the aluminum a tiny bit, don’t worry. And make sure to cut away from yourself!
I still cant get it there like so hard to scratch for me what do i do
Thanks for the tutorial. Found out the reason my playstation isn't turning on is because it fried itself. Still very helpful 👍
How did it Fry itself? Power surge, blocked ventilation, or something else?
@@chisangamumba2961 it was pretty hot out had it on left for a bit and forgot to turn it off came back wouldn't turn on check all the cords opened it up and the back shiny part looked burned
@@brendynweltzer4366 I see. Did cleaning the ventilation fix the problem?
@@chisangamumba2961 did not.
Thank you. I was uncertain about cutting off pieces with a Razor blade, but it was completely worth it.
I’m also scared to cut off the black pieces. What did u do after u cut them did you just put screws back and are the black pieces extremely necessary
Wow made this look so easy. I’ll be giving it a go myself now
Did it work?
Thanks for this, my PS4 turned itself off this evening but I took it apart and it’s fixed now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Was the problem Fan-Related?
January 3 2024 justed did this to my ps4 this is a 100% real video New Follower also Subscribed!
With the star shaped screws how do I take those out
Thank you so much bro I'm kinda scared to destroy the parts of the ps4 but I managed to clean cuz of ur guide!
Wow man it really does a significant change! First time that I deep clean it in years and trust me guys it stopped sounding like a jet right after the clean!!😊
Is there a different tool that'll work for the star shaped screws?
Men never comment,but you saved a lot ppl money time.THANK YOU.
Awesome! Did it, hardest part was cutting the plastic rivets. Everything else was a breeze! Ty!
Is it okay if I cut the rubbers with a knife and now I have allot big metal scratches I can see a shiny mental
@@unknown_tzx7213 yeah das gine
Fine
@@unknown_tzx7213 SAME I REMOVED ONE AND I GOT SCRATCHES AND THEN I STOPPED I PUT BACK THE SCREWS AND I TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH A COMPRESSOR AIR 😑i am not trying this another time
Apparently, the plastic rivets don't need to be cut out. I found that out in another video. Cutting them seemed off to me too.
Had my ps4 slim for 4 years and never once opened it until now as i was scared to damage it. The sound was so loud that i had to up yhe TV volume but after following this vid and cleaning up my ps4 I'm glad it's as silent as ever. Thank you so much ❤️
It feels wrong cutting the little black things 😭
Fr
does it matter?
@@Ahmad_.399If you remove the black balls, the price will decrease and it will become a device that collects dust quickly
@@Ahmad_.399 not much
@@2RareNinja yo bro could u help me on how to put the metal plate back on the left side im getting stuck there 😢
This is the best video on PS4 cleaning because its super beginner friendly and easy to follow. Others i watched tear the console down in 50 separated pieces which is very risky to do if u are noob. Also cleaning the fan and that metal part is the most imporant part anyways, i did it for 3 different PS4 and they all went from loud and hot to silent and cool.
Thanks dude ! When my brother is playing GTA5 Its soo LOUD! And im like “uhhhmmm can u stop playing for a bit because it sounds like a turbine engine!!!” I did it though! With some cuts on my hand because im actually 12 and we don’t have a good, small knife like urs so i had to use our big Chinese big kitchen knife 🔪 to pry out the thing but eventually I GOT IT! Now im testing it and it sounds wayy better TY!
Even tho it took 1 hr 45 mins its clean now and great thanks
Omg thank you my ps4 doesn’t sound like it’s gonna explode anymore 😃👍
Like mine🤣 "nuke activating"
After doing this my console doesn't sound like a rocket about to take off anymore, thank you brother
Thank you so much. My PlayStation would constantly make a loud noise and recently kept crashing over and over. I have now fixed it. 10/10 very helpful.
I'm glad to hear that
We’re you having an issue where everytime you turned on your ps4 it crashed?
@@agentsharp5881 No, my PlayStation crashed while trying to load games. It turned on fine
@@JAM_YT_FURRY mine also crashed loading bigger games but everything looks fine after cleaning
@@agentsharp5881 mine is loading fine now as well, it kept crashing loading among us
such a good design super simple to tear off that top plate and only a couple of screws this console is nice especially with the low power wattage of 85
My son put a GameCube disc in my ps4 this morning. Thanks for this video, but I am having such a hard time removing the black rivets.
Thankyou very much. I used this video, plus many others and read all the comments to see the best way to handle the black plastic welds. So many conflicting views. I did cut them, but I did so carefully using carpet knife to remove the lip as much as possible while trying to leave some for the plate to pop and grip onto. Had a small issue pulling the plate out. Guess it was cozy. Proceeded to clean, had a mini rug in there. Looks much better now. It turns on fine, didn't break it (so far so good)
I am running it now to test it and will do so for a period. I will give an update for those who are looking for them over a period of time if there are any issues or not. Of course if you have a question you like to ask about my thoughts let me know here in reply.
Def do research and watch multiple vids to see how you wanna proceed.
Also I did a dumb and forgot to do my screw placement diagram so I had to watch this again to put them back ... So thanks again. Oops
Thanks for the video, close up and to the point.
thank you so much man the most straightforward guy I have seen on UA-cam. 🤝
Omg thank you so much!! I cleaned my ps4. I haven't touched the insides ever and I got it back in 2016. I gave my baby a good clean!! 💖
i never knew a simple video will save your ps4 slim
Thanks for the video!! Only video showing how to remove the plastic rivets. Life saver!!
I have never cleaned my ps4 slim since I got and now I did. Thanks so much for the help.
Getting that metal plate off is a pain in the ass, lol. But I just finished about 15 minutes ago. Had to go to the store, get the screwdriver and stuff but I think its good now? The reason I had to do this was because it was giving me a "too hot" screen every 10 minutes suddenly and shutting off. Had to do something. Was a little worried I'd break it, lol but you helped a lot and I'm gonna start cleaning my ps4 like once a month. Haven't cleaned it since I got it and that's when it first came out.. 😂 Thanks again, bro! Cheers.
I’m glad you solved it ❤️ I don’t think it’s needed once every month, once a year would be enough but of course that also depends of the environment where you keep it. Have fun!
@@YesterdaysTech Maybe Quarterly, haha. Dogs and such, ones that shed a hell of a lot.
😂 Well, at least it's worth it. I love dogs.
Nah cuz straight to the point showes what needs to be used 10/10
Definitely one of the best cleaning videos I’ve seen, thanks heaps!!
my ps4 was filled with dust and was making fan noise..but now its wayy clean and running great..Thank u so much Sir!
Thanks a lot, now my ps4 is super silent and I can watch films till morning❤️
He edits out the major PITA part of getting the metal panel's lip back into place behind the optical drive.....nice.
Those black things that you cut with the cutter do we have to replace them or they are useless
They don't have a use other than to stop people messing with the ps so they can make a bit more money from repairs
How did you take off the aluminum cover?
Awesome video helped a lot ps4 was crazy loud now can’t even hear it
I did it according to your video !!! And it's working like a new one !!! Thank you bro !!!!!
Is it dangerous to remove the little black things with a cutter?
8:30 HOW TF DO YOU PUT IT BACK IN SO CASUALLY
Thank you so much, my partner and I just cleaned my ps4 after 6 years of usage. Thing was FILTHY, and the fan was crazy loud. I just cleaned it and playing my games, I hear NOTHING. Usually my friends think I have a fan on, haha! Again, thank you so much.
I'm glad to hear that
This guide is simply amazing and straight forward. Thank you so much Sir! This was very helpful 🙏👊😊
🎉🎉🎉 FOR YEARS IVE BEEN CURSED WITH NO MONEY AND A LOUD SYSTEM AND TODAY I SAID ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND I DID IT WITH 3 TOOLS AND YOUR VIDEO THANK YOU
What did you use to get the screws out of the metal bit at the back please
Thanks for the video dude. Now i know what to do when my ps4 start to sound like a plane taking off.
Been struggling for over a year with my loud ass fan, thank you bro
素人の私でも分かり易く、とても助かりました！
ありがとうございました☺
Habe sie eben sauber gemacht und es ist unglaublich wie leise sie wieder ist. Sehr gutes Tutorial und vor allem leicht nach zu machen 👍👍
Thanks man, watched a video before this that didn’t help. I cleaned out the heatsink and the fan. Putting it back together now. Hopefully it can be quiet again
Did it get quiet again?
@@gelothegogang Yes, it’s quiet again
If man has Eastern European voice you know he gonna be 🔥 at whatever he doing on the video.thanks dude
My ps4 was running slow and I couldn't even go into safe mode to rebuild the database, after cleaning it it sped up, did less noise and I could go into safe mode! Thank you
Thank you bro.Cleaned my ps yesterday and now it's so quiet while gaming
Thanks a lot I cleaned and it worked no more blowing loud thank Q so much
Thank you! Now my ps4 doesn't sound like a jet engine. Actually...after doing this, its so quiet, I couldn't even tell it was on.
😂
When it comes to the metal plating do you just shove it back in or is there a way to set it in place?
So far this video has been helpful (surprisingly, I didn't have to cut the plastic rivets, the plating just popped out.
I'll say this, the same way you got it off is the same way you put it back on
Are those the lil black things?
if you are struggling get the plate on, then get the power supply out (its not hard) search it up
thanks, great video! I followed it exactly. Should never have to give up on old tech just because of fan!
People like u make UA-cam a good place. Thanks
A small paintbrush is a great tool for cleaning dust from awkward places.
Thanks for the helpful tips on cleaning the fan.. great tutorial
Thank you bro my ps4 haven’t sounded this good in 7 years
OMG Thank you so much! your video was the only video I could find that had those little black plastic rivets that you have to cut off. I started to think mine was the only one with them lol
😂
@@YesterdaysTech i can't cut them they are strong
Watching this In 2024 it still helps me to clean my PS 4! It took an hour, Well I am a beginner.
Great work! Very Informative
I was playing destiny 2 and I I heard the PS4 buzzing more than the game itself and this really helped me cuz it's been annoying me for quite some time so thx man.
The hardest part is putting back the plate in💀
Literally
It's not hard this man didn't know what he's doing so he should remove this video. The plate slides in sideways not pushed in.
@@HMZ-wk4yz yeah, I realized that after putting it back together
@@HMZ-wk4yzur a life saver holyy, ive been struggling for so long thanks man
3 years later and still helping me put on the metal cover w vid 🎉❤
Thanks so much. I didn’t use actual cleaner or anything so I just went in dry but thanks 🙏
Thank you my PS4 sounds so good now
For anyone still needing to clean your system, you actually don't have to cut the plastic rivets you can lift the plate up over them.
Your console most probably was opened before and was not sealed, otherwise you have to cut those rivets.
@@YesterdaysTech I didn't buy my system second hand, I got it straight from Best Buy brand new.
Can you please tell me the CUH series of your console? Was it a specific bundle? I really wonder
@@YesterdaysTech I'll check when I get home I'm not sure if it was the Spider Man bundle or the newest slim version they released. I have two slims so I'll check them both and come back with an update. I'm pretty curious as to why this is too. Just how the PS5 has 3 different fans.
