I was curious to see this myself so… I went to my PlayStation 4 slim and I popped one corner off and then instantly popped it back on and started apologizing to my PS4 😂
I know this is like a 5 year old video, but this helped me SOOO much. Had a customer bring in a ps4 he dropped a weight on and smashed the top. Using your video I was able to tear it down and fix the issue.
hello there by any chance could you help me with my issue the issue im having is my controller not connecting at all it flickers when you try to connect but it wont connect i tried it on two controllers
Steve, I'm the one that called you asked how to repair the disk drive, finally figured it out thanks to you're advice and detailed video, thank you. Saved me from paying $100 to a store for what turned out to be an easy fix.
TronicsFix That white disc that is in the disc drive had popped out of place. So after watching your video I fixed it, however I was missing something that was still cause games to not play. It turns out that when I was putting it all back together I didn't put the disc drive underneath the "locating tabs" I think they're called, which you specifically mentioned in the video! It took me many hours to figure this all out, but thanks to your video I saved a chunk of cash, and learned how to assemble and disassemble my ps4 slim, thanks a bunch!
Thank you for the video. I can't believe it was your first time taking one of these apart because everything went so smoothly and popped right off for you. Almost every part of my machine was stubborn, stuck and wouldn't come off easily. Especially the plug on the power supply.
Your video helped me clean my ps4 and it helped its performance so much I just wanted to say thank you for the free wisdom. I am now more confident in fixing my friend's ps4's lol
This video rescued me from a pile of parts and screws. I was able to put my PS4 back together after putting new thermal paste on the APU. Actually wound up with no random screws or parts left over from the reassembly! Win!
For people that are confused yes there's three antennas one your blue tooth for the controllers and other blue tooth devises the other two antennas are you wifi so that's how Sony is boosting the wifi range by giving you two wifi antennas
Yeah i know it's very unlikely that you gonna see that but anyways....can you tell me which antenna is for the bluetooth controller connection? Because I have serios lags and bugs when I'm playing
My God the videos have really improved. LOL.....Im glad there's not videos of me from 7 years ago. I can go back and watch. Love these videos though. Sometimes I put these on to go to sleep too. Thats not saying the videos are boring or a jab. They are just really relaxing.
Thanks a lot! I used this, to replace the thermal paste and clean the heatsink.. you won't believe, how much of a difference this makes, my console sounded like a vacuum cleaner and turned completely silent... i had turn all of my media up to drown the console and now, i have to stop everything that makes noise to check, if the fan even works... 😁💪
@@sabagegelashvili916 Meantime i have to repeat this cycle again... But my console is being used about 3-5 hours a week, so that should be enough time for dust to clog the heat sink to at least 50%..
Here because i read on reddit that somebody took their ps4 apart and cleaned it up, in return it booted faster, loaded faster, ect., Here recently I've been dropping connection, knowing it's not my wifi, started to think it was my ps4. Followed this video and my wifi antenna was caked in dust lol. Haven't put it all back together yet, but wow man. Appreciate the time brother !
EVERYONE.... if your from UK and your ps4 blows or breaks down insurer your ps4 with domestic and general do not tell them it is broken. Pay the first month of insurance then call them if they can not fix it they will give you a new one the same for TV's and other household appliances. You're absolutely welcome 😁😁🙌🏽
My slim doesnt have the warranty sticker, nor any torx screw there. It's just plastic Edit: wow never mind the sticker is there but there's no warranty warning.
omg I tought you had 100,000 subs but you don't, you don't deserve 100,000, you deserve a 1,000,000!!😉 nice video man and did the ps4 still work afterwards?
Nice teardown video, imo i think they should kept with the previous design but used the smaller components to keep the console cooler and more reliable with less noise. Looking forward to your comparison vid.
I love the videos they help me alot when I'm disassembling my consoles or assembling them and I like just watching your videos for educational purposes to.
OMG, this helped me out, but . . . during the removal of the power supply i ran into a small problem that lead to hours of pain and sorrow. When removing the screw to the power supply on the bottom of the console the screw was extremely hard to get off. It was so difficult that the screw became stripped it one go. I sat there struggling trying to get the screw out, I even tried using things such as rubberbands or the glue technique, but they didnt help at all. I ended up just taking my chances and ripping the Old power supply out of it. Thankfully it all worked out in the end.
I just cleaned my ps4 and had no idea on how to do anything . But with the help of this vidio I wad able to do it . Thank you Steve for making this awsome vidio . Thank you :)
My husband and I tried to clean in the insides of the playstation 4 slim 1tb and the plate over the van and disc area won't come off, there is little black clips or bobbles that can't undo or remove. We did take out all screws and followed each step to your video but we can't get the plate loss or remove it and the game discs won't read either like morrowind and red dead redemption 2 help we need to understand on what we can do
After viewing this video, I just took a hard swallow. Time killer for sure. The Xbox One and One S are WAY easier to dismantle but when I search for broken consoles on eBay I see more Xbones.... Also, a huge point of failure for those Xboxes are the hard drives and it's 50-50 if it will take new install especially if there's an issue with the NAND flash drive. At least Sony got it right since PS3 with allowing end users the ability to easily upgrade their internal storage.
I just bought a used ps4 slim from gamestop. Its ran fine. No issues whatsoever. However im paranoid about buying used things so i wanted to see the inside. From what i can see its in great shape. However 4 of the screws on the metal fan cover are a small black screw that are all stripped. Idk if they did maintnance at game stop. Or the previous owner clesned it and just switched the screws. Do i call game stop, they give a 7 day warranty for anything that goes wrong, and i opted in for a 30 year warranty.
lol never buy electronics like this used always keep that in mind my friend worked for gamestop and he use to refurb those consoles he told me he would never buy one for himself
Jeeeeeezzz this is so much more work than my xbox one.. but guess ill have to start stripping my ps4 slim at some point to clean cause im starting to get disk reading errors too often now. Thanx for the great video
I've just fixed my first ps4 that I bought as a repair job. Man I'm getting more in and selling them on as a side little money making hobby . Thanks for the videos, subscribed ❤️👍 That's an x box one and a ps4 slim I've managed to do now, early days
Hope you used good paste and not AS5 something like say at least MX-4 is the lowest thermally conductive paste I would use but I like the high end thermal pastes like TG kryonaut, and kryonaut extreme, Kingpin KPX, Gelid CG, and then MX-4 just to have around for emergencies like I run out of TG and need to re-paste something and I use it for my dads laptops
Excellent video. Just watched it, and disassembled my son's PS4 slim as it went. Went just perfect. My son had put an under size disc in his, and it couldn't eject it.
Thank you, I wanted to start doing monthly clean up's to make sure there's not a lot of dust in there but I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to open the damn thing 😂
I've watched your other fixit videos and Knowingly this channel w the best place to go for a ps4 slim tare down. I've purchased the slim silver for cheap. Seller said it didn't read discs. So I've done my tare down like I normally do on the pro's. Seemed simple enough. It's completely filthy inside with a mix of dust and nicotine. Then the plastic is stained with nicotine. It's recommended to use baking soda and give the plastic a scrub but I use isopropanol alcohol or rubbing alcohol that I use to clean the chips etc. It removes the staines like wiping dust, so much more effective than baking soda. Will clean it throughout and see if the bluray drive can be cleaned, laser etc. Otherwise a replacement drive will be fitted. Only thing is that theres these 2 small parts that I don't recognise just kindsma fell out. Not sure where they go. So that's why I wanted to see this tare down. Nothing in this video shows these 2 loose parts? I'll work it out
Hey, ive been having problems with my playstation getting really hot at the bottom right and automatically shutting off after about 10 to 15 minutes. I really need help.
@@shorb2289 the sticker is not illegal and does not take away your right to repair. Sony does not have to offer a warranty, they do so as a selling point...You have every right to repair, a sticker should not stop you. However, Sony has the right to void the warranty if they know it was worked on. Say you sold me a product with a warranty, and I bring it back saying it doesnt work and the thing is in pieces with missing screws, or screws in the wrong spot, are you just gonna give me a new one?
Thank for video. I done cleaning today. When i flipped console there was two parts on my table. One black L shaped and one silver pointy. Also there was two screws I did not found place for them. Console working so I think there is no problem :D
I had a roach infestation in my rental house, moved in and the landlord hadn’t cleaned it out from the previous tenant. Some of the damn bugs got into my ps4, they got into everything. Thanks to this video I was able to clean it properly and keep more of my things safe from the dumpster!
Brave man, hope assembly goes well :) Although I'd use MX4 in future, as it's non conductive. AS5 can shot circuit stuff, as it's conductive. At least you squirted huge amount on the XBox One S and those likely spread close to the APU surface mount capacitors.
AS5 is NOT electrically conductive. Please don't make comments that aren't true. There is already enough misinformation on the web...lets not make this another place to spread more misinformation: www.arcticsilver.com/as5.htm
Well it's been 8 years since I last used it, seems I remembered wrong :) Anyways, they say it them selves "Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads."
Sony wants us to depend on specialized services, one of the most common failures on the ps4 slim is the noisy fan, and they bury the fan so deep that there is no way you can get to it yourself. Thats not user friendly
Awesome video, really appreciate this kind of stuff. This is the real deal when you got these consoles and not the marketing that they make. For me that is not to far from a raspberry PI, I mean there are a substantial differences, but with this is more easy to understand why ps4 pro is cheap and should be more cheap
I’ve always cleaned my ps4 slim and kept it clean. I decided to pop off my metal plate cover. Because I always kept it dust free, my heat sink was clean as can be and barely any dust.
Fixt my ps slim today thanks to you the little spring that pullsback the black arms in the cd drive was loose no idea how but put it back and the cd drive was working normally again and cleaned the whole thing
Thanks. Yes, I ended up buying a PS4 Slim too and after about 2-3 hours of gameplay, my hands are hotter from using the Dualshock more than the vents area of the device. So it's a thumbs up. I'd advice for a PS4 Slim than going for a PS4 Pro. But that's just a personal preference I guess. Guess just a couple Xbox fanboys spread the wrong news. I ended up contacting Best Buy's Geek Squad and even they advised it heats up less.
Mehak Chaudhary Yeah. I love it so far. I have a 720p lcd t.v. and I can still appreciate the beautiful graphics of uncharted 4. I have spent more time just watching the environments than shooting guns. :D
Same here. Right now games only scale upto a 4K or 8K since AAA games are coded to scale up to whatever resolution we play on. But no game or in-game CGI is made on a 1080P resolution as of yet. Maybe Final Fantasy XV will upgrade it's PS4 version for a 1080P. If you're into HD graphics and environments, do check out Final Fantasy XV (comes out November 29th) and Horizon in 2017.
@TronicsFix my ps4 slim just turns off by itself randomly. I opened it the other day and cleaned the fan but couldn't get to the heatsink. The heatsink area feels quite warm when it crashes, but, when it crashes it doesn't make any sound or give me any warning. No indication of overheating apart from touching and feeling that the ps4 is warm. Any thoughts on this?
PS4 got electronic thermal protection,, if temperature goes too high the the light bar (in slim it placed on button) with go red and will automatically turn off to prevent any damage (or else APU will burn faster which is rare :p). This won't prevent possible long term heat damages, like self unsolidifyng on tiring of solid material (kind of like issue that causing RROD in 360s and YLOD in PS3)
proper use is 3 hours on then let it cool down. the solder gets hot and in time it will crack causing no video or blue light of death. this is unleaded solder
Hey Steve I followed your video for tearing down my PS4 slim, it really helped me. Cheers for the tutorial. While I was tearing it down, a small clear silicone ring fell out. I'm not sure where it goes. Kindly advise
I have one that's out of warranty and overheats. It's not the first one I've encountered like that. At 12:18 I see a tiny dab of thermal compound on that plate and I'm wondering if that's likely my point of failure. Is it worth dismantling to apply some ceramic type like Noctua NT-H1?
Hey guy's, FYI...Removing the warranty sticker, no longer negates the warranty, as of 5/14/18, S.E.I realizes from time to time the stickers may get damaged or torn, possibly even removed simply by customers putting their consoles into a stereo cabinet or TV cabinets. So removable will no longer void, or otherwise negates the warranty. Sony update of warranty can be found and read and agreed to on their web-site.
15:35 yes, it is common. Everytime I insert a disc the BD drive just cant read until I give some gentle pat right on the top of the drive and it starts to read normally. lol. My PS4 Slim is 6 years old and this issue started now, so this issue isn't THAT common after all. lol
I was curious to see this myself so… I went to my PlayStation 4 slim and I popped one corner off and then instantly popped it back on and started apologizing to my PS4 😂

Oh so I couldn’t do this even if I wanted to 👌
Sony wants us to depend on specialized services, one of the most common failures on the ps4 slim is the noisy fan, and they bury the fan so deep that there is no way you can get to it yourself. Thats not user friendly
Thx for evrthing u really help me i was so close to bye a now one u make me save 239$ thx
Whats the name of the part you had your left index finger on when you where talking about the lazor would I be able to get that part ordered
What kind of power supply is this I need this one Ik bc I see the two Little plugs in the middle of the ps4 slim I need that one help me tell me plz
It's a power supply for a PS4 Slim. If you're looking for one just search for PS4 Slim power supply.
Really helpful. Thanks a lot, sir.
You're welcome! Glad this helped
Keep posting videos like this tronix man... Very useful. You are gonna get the PS4 Pro right?
YES! We'll be tearing down the PS4 Pro as soon as we can get our hands on one!
Awesome video, really appreciate this kind of stuff. This is the real deal when you got these consoles and not the marketing that they make. For me that is not to far from a raspberry PI, I mean there are a substantial differences, but with this is more easy to understand why ps4 pro is cheap and should be more cheap
yeah I know, I was only talking about the ps4 pro price announced
You're welcome!
I’ve always cleaned my ps4 slim and kept it clean. I decided to pop off my metal plate cover. Because I always kept it dust free, my heat sink was clean as can be and barely any dust.
You look nice with the new haircut! It suits you well pal :)
Hey Thanks!
Can you replace the buzzer for when it powers on with something else? I hate that noise tbh
is there a faster way to get the disc drive out? I want to replace my disc drive.
Fixt my ps slim today thanks to you the little spring that pullsback the black arms in the cd drive was loose no idea how but put it back and the cd drive was working normally again and cleaned the whole thing
Compare how hot it gets vs xbox one s
Yes, we'll be doing that!
:D
At Minute 6:03 is this the Wi-Fi cable that makes the Bluetooth conection betwen the ps4 and the wireless Controller ???
Can someone Tell me please?
So did you discover any overheating problems? Some hardware issue that create alot of heat? I'm considering buying a PS4 Slim. So guide me here.
Mehak Chaudhary I heard it's less heated than a regular PS4. I just bought mine. It's about as hot as a PS3 slim
Thanks. Yes, I ended up buying a PS4 Slim too and after about 2-3 hours of gameplay, my hands are hotter from using the Dualshock more than the vents area of the device. So it's a thumbs up. I'd advice for a PS4 Slim than going for a PS4 Pro. But that's just a personal preference I guess. Guess just a couple Xbox fanboys spread the wrong news. I ended up contacting Best Buy's Geek Squad and even they advised it heats up less.
Mehak Chaudhary Yeah. I love it so far. I have a 720p lcd t.v. and I can still appreciate the beautiful graphics of uncharted 4. I have spent more time just watching the environments than shooting guns. :D
Same here. Right now games only scale upto a 4K or 8K since AAA games are coded to scale up to whatever resolution we play on. But no game or in-game CGI is made on a 1080P resolution as of yet. Maybe Final Fantasy XV will upgrade it's PS4 version for a 1080P. If you're into HD graphics and environments, do check out Final Fantasy XV (comes out November 29th) and Horizon in 2017.

@TronicsFix my ps4 slim just turns off by itself randomly. I opened it the other day and cleaned the fan but couldn't get to the heatsink. The heatsink area feels quite warm when it crashes, but, when it crashes it doesn't make any sound or give me any warning. No indication of overheating apart from touching and feeling that the ps4 is warm. Any thoughts on this?
Im only 13 and i took apart my ps4 slim thats the easy part but putting it back together is the worst thing ive ever experinced
OMG yes I just experienced this as well.
Sorry for my question 😬😅 but can I make a PS4 at home buying this parts sepratelly can be possible
Only thing is there is no optical audio port 😔😔😔😔😔
Yes, no optical audio out.
Annoyingly, no, there isn't :(
Would have been nice to see how to plastic button for the power/ eject actually goes in and comes out.
can you check out if this model over heats?
PS4 got electronic thermal protection,, if temperature goes too high the the light bar (in slim it placed on button) with go red and will automatically turn off to prevent any damage (or else APU will burn faster which is rare :p). This won't prevent possible long term heat damages, like self unsolidifyng on tiring of solid material (kind of like issue that causing RROD in 360s and YLOD in PS3)
what do you mean by ''like self unsolidifyng on tiring of solid material''?
proper use is 3 hours on then let it cool down. the solder gets hot and in time it will crack causing no video or blue light of death. this is unleaded solder
V3NOM Thunder it does if you put it in a cramp spot, I keep it on top of my desk and it never overheats
4 years just flies by doesn't it?
this helps a lot, thanks!
You're welcome!
Hey Steve I followed your video for tearing down my PS4 slim, it really helped me. Cheers for the tutorial. While I was tearing it down, a small clear silicone ring fell out. I'm not sure where it goes. Kindly advise
why do the xbox one s and the ps4 s don't have a kenect and what ever it's called for ps4
The camera? They don't come with them but the AUX port on the back of the consoles is for the camera.
I have one that's out of warranty and overheats. It's not the first one I've encountered like that. At 12:18 I see a tiny dab of thermal compound on that plate and I'm wondering if that's likely my point of failure. Is it worth dismantling to apply some ceramic type like Noctua NT-H1?
Thermal paste alone is very, very rarely the cause of overheating.
Like one in a million? SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S A CHANCE! YEAH!
thanks for this vedio...!!!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
+TronicsFix did it still work? ( the ps4)
Hey guy's, FYI...Removing the warranty sticker, no longer negates the warranty, as of 5/14/18, S.E.I realizes from time to time the stickers may get damaged or torn, possibly even removed simply by customers putting their consoles into a stereo cabinet or TV cabinets. So removable will no longer void, or otherwise negates the warranty. Sony update of warranty can be found and read and agreed to on their web-site.
Honestly PSN is bit stupid What's Point on PS4S & PS4Pro there not really big different's I just keep ps4 original more better
there's still a lot of people who don't have any ps4
@Meem Ain he meant Sony
Because people might have a bit more money and are willing to spend more for a smoother experience
First of all,A Playstation 4 Pro is way better than a ps4......The slim is also better than the regular ps4...Dumb.

Me: 💀
15:35 yes, it is common. Everytime I insert a disc the BD drive just cant read until I give some gentle pat right on the top of the drive and it starts to read normally. lol. My PS4 Slim is 6 years old and this issue started now, so this issue isn't THAT common after all. lol
Hello, Do you know what the material of the heatsink is? I want to do a liquid metal upgrade
All power in this little motherboard? awesome!
