    As a complete amateur, without much experience and almost zero confidence I followed your tutorial and I was able to make it, so I if I could do it, then I honestly believe that anyone can. Really great tutorial and easy to follow, big, big thumbs up! Thank you for making it!

    Easily followed and completed, no issues after about a month. I did the fan cleaning initially and it was ok for about a week and then started shutting off randomly even with non hardware intensive games. Fully disassembled and cleaned took about 1 1/2 hours with following the guide step by step.

      Awesome too hear. I am about to do the same. Last time I only cleaned the fan but also learned the power supply needs to be cleaned as well. I'm not having any issues with the console but know it is time to do preventative maintenance just like on a car.

    Been having issues with my system shutting down during games. I spent an eternity bouncing between videos to take apart my ps5 just to get stuck putting it back together because I couldn't find a video that clearly showed where the screws went. You are my hero.

    On the "warranty seal"
    "Most consumers don’t know that these stickers are actually illegal-and that’s because manufacturers don’t want you to. Under the 1975 Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Feds mandated that you can open your electronics without voiding the warranty, regardless of what the language of your warranty says. That makes all of that inconsistent (albeit crafty) language used by the 50 manufacturers surveyed by the U.S. PIRG illegal." - from iFixit

    Thank you so much for this video. I was having problems with my ps5 randomly shutting off and I was getting little nervous that it might eventually die. Then I came across this video and I was afraid to disassemble the whole console by myself but I went with my girlfriend to the store and bought the necessary tools. It was really simple all you need to do is carefully follow video and instructions and it will be easy. I haven’t cleaned my ps5 in 3 years and the amount of dust was crazy. My ps5 works beautifully now and I am so happy and proud at the same time. People, if you are afraid don’t be. Just follow the video and you’ll be fine. Thx again for this video dude! You rock 😊

    Aside from my son's controller I just fixed because of you ( commented on the appropriate video) , yesterday I was able to clean and restore my ps5 because of this tutorial !
    Since it was still warranty I didn't remove the warranty tag but I went inside from the ventilation hole with my hand and a little vacuum cleaner + baby wipes and brush, took me 1 hour to get the dust that had accumulated but in the end, after restarting, I got no freezing of the screen (happened 4 times in 2 hours, everytime only after 10 min of gameplay) and my kids play on it since this morning with no incident whatsoever,its even more silent that it was before.
    Couldn't be more grateful of the precious info you offer us the stranger on the net - stay safe!

But as of now everything seems to be working good and it definitely needed to be done. So if you’re scared to do this, don’t be.

      @@erwinwayne3129 For sure you're going to need the T8 Torx and a #1 (small) Phillips screwdriver. For the prying tools, don't use anything metal. You could use a small piece of hardwood (don't use wood that might break off) or other hard plastic piece you can make at home. The magnetic thing, meh, I'd use some blue painter's tape and write on it where they came out of, or draw a diagram on a piece of paper. The tweezers are handy but don't have to be anything special; the ones he used do make it a bit easier but you're in no hurry if you're DIYing it. Just take care as the ribbons are delicate. The brush can be any small, natural rustle brush (not a plastic bristle or nylon - which is also plastic). I would also get a can of dry compressed air to make the job a lot easier and faster getting dust out of places the brush can't go.
      So yeah, there are easier ways but the T8 and the small Phillips are two things you can't do this job without.
      Also note about how tight the screws are when taking them out. There's nothing in here that needs to be "muscled" back together. Snug is fine.

      @@erwinwayne3129 man the furthest I went was taking the fan out and cleaning it. Even then I didn't completely disconnect the fan , I cleaned a bit of the heatsink too but not all of it obviously. I had mine for over an year now and it keeps overheating on me when I play graphically demanding games like horizon forbidden west. I can play a maximum of 1 hour on that game before the warning pops up. It doesn't shut down or anything it just gives the heating warning after like an hour of playing and ever since I cleaned the fan it has been a bit better but again last night it happened. I wanna deep clean it but I have 0 experience with electronics. And the fact that I once tried to fix a ps4 controller by taking it apart , ended up completely breaking it does not help at all 😭. I can't give it to a repair shop to clean it cuz I'm from the Maldives and we don't have any advanced repair shops and stuff

    Great video I’ve had a PS5 that couldn’t play PS5 games (random shut down) for a very long time. Oddly enough it would play ps4 games and stream apps all day long with no issue. In the past I’ve always just cleaned up to the point where I took out the fan hoping it might make it work correctly. Even sent it to Sony twice with no real fix. Honestly this issue didn’t resolve until I got to the power supply which was caked with dust and causing the system to overheat. It might be scary but follow this video ALL the way and hopefully you’ll get your PS5 back and not some glorified PS4.

    Had an issue when my ps5 kept overheating and turns off by itself recklessly. Tries the dust off products and everything and still did the same thing. Finally while the plates of the ps5 were off, I took my electric leaf blower and blew into the ps5 on low setting. This fixed it perfectly and haven't had a problem since. This is coming from a a home that had dust and sanding renovations going on.

    So basically just remove the fan, disconnect the cables out in the front and then take out the radiator from behind? I have searched everywhere and nobody seems to be looking at this angle. if you could do that it would become very easy to clean out the radiator.

    For those of you who feel at ease with disassembling hardware, I recommend redistributing and adding more liquid metal to your PS5 if you keep it in a vertical position. This will prevent the liquid metal from gathering on one side and leaving a dry spot on the APU, which can lead to overheating issues.

      Yea best to use 99% or 70% alcohol on anything plastic as glass cleaners have other things in them to help clean glass that can be bad for plastic or degrade plastic so look at the bottle of the windex see what it says about plastic cleaning as just looked up windex on plastic surface online as says no as can cause irreparable damage to plastic. So be carful on what you use it wont brake the plastic fast but will make it brittle over time and easy to snap.
