How to Clean Your PS5 Safely - 3 Stages

How to Clean Your PS5 Safely - 3 Stages - From easiest to hardest. While you're PS5 shouldn't be needing a deep clean yet, I wanted to have a video ready when you need. Stage 1 is basically cleaning both intake areas and the covers. Stage 2 is basically removing and cleaning the fan and the heat sinks accessible through the fan hole. And Stage 3 is basically taking everything apart and cleaning it.

Already have a spray can, now i just need to buy a PS5 to clean.

[MarStarr]

Who else is here Bc their PS5 is shockingly quiet and they wanna keep it that way

[razorruke]

I've never, ever taken apart anything electronic before (I did Step 3) and I was terrified too. Your video helped me in so many ways, not only did I fix my PS5's overheating issues but now I'm not so afraid to take apart something that needs to be fixed. Thank you, so very much 🙏

[Justin-zszc]

Yeah, no way in hell will I ever have the balls to enter stage 3 and beyond.

[nermanus]

Shoutout to all the 2022 people using this video to clean their dirty PS5s.

[muzgaming]

If anyone is wondering about doing the step 3, it’s not so bad, just have to be careful and keep track of which screw goes where. It took me about 2 hours to do a deep cleaning.

[fluxl]

Honestly, removing that fan via the plug was the most stressful thing I’ve ever done. Felt like Operation but with consequences

Anyone intimidated by stage three; I just finished doing it to mine that I hadn't cleaned since bought in 2021, really not as bad as you might think. Here are some tips n small issues I ran into along the way:
1.) Make sure you go out and buy a t8 screwdriver bc odds are you don't already have one in your tool box, and pliers are a must for some of the cables.
2.) Have a way to separate the screws and organize them so that you know where they go back. I did like four Tupperware dishes and ust assigned each stage to one dish, then as I took them out I placed them in a circle trying to mirror the general shape of their orientation within the console.
3.) He puts back some of the screws in the wrong places in this video, try and mark holes where there was no screw to begin with as you unscrew the protective metal plate.
4.) After you unscrew all 41 screws, the cover will still take some coaxing to get off of the motherboard as there is adhesive holding it there, don't brute force it. I went gently around the edge with a flat screwdriver and then pulled up using the top left and bottom right corners.

You're a life saver. Did the stage 3 cleaning. Boy did it need it. Heat sinks were so filthy the power source would over heat and turn off. Not a speck of dust left in there. Just booted it up and returnal is working as expected. Thanks for the detailed walk through. Subbed!

[tipogameplay]

You make it look so easy when you slide the covers back on. Mine are like "We refuse to go back in there!"

[ewmrbhn]

When you take your PS5 apart and when reassembling you end up with 2 extra screws 😂

[tudorsitaru]

I think Stage 1 should be “find a way to get a PS5”

[WholsPluto]

Anyone here in 2024 because your PlayStation gets so hot it randomly turns off

[Random.Human]

Anyone else here because their ps5 is randomly turning off during gameplay, without a overheat warning?

[loztpm]

Just gave my PS5 a level 2 clean for its first birthday. Went very smoothly. Honestly the hardest part was getting my top plate on and off. Thank you for a very clear guide!

[VCTMIZED]

I like how you still did the "cleaning" on a pristine clean console lol

[mr.Gang]

Who's here because they're ps5 randomly shuts off mid game then the only way to restart is by unplugging the power cord I'll start me

[takorulez]

10:01 Just a heads up to anyone looking at this part to remember where the screws go.. there are two misplaced screws one where the Disc drive connects and the one by the fan. otherwise amazing video thank you for what you do!

[DomoSensei]

Went through 2 PS4s (still got the second) and I swear to god I ll do everything it takes to not have my PS5 take off like a harrier in the years to come like my PS4. Im gonna do this religiously lol

[EJD]

If you don’t take a part electronics often, I’d recommend to just clean the the first two stages because you’re taking a risk albeit a smaller one. If you have animals, I was told to put the console up at a higher location even if it looks tacky, it still may be worth it.
