This is how a tutorial is done; short but detailed and to the point.

I haven’t cleaned my ps4 since I bought it in 2013, but Red dead redemption 2 is making it sound like it’s about to blow up

[loki.]

Short and to the point. Just what I needed. PS4 no longer sounds like an aircraft taking off. Thank you

[RebelGamingFTW]

For the people who’s PS4s randomly turn off or says the PS4 is too hot. This video works.

For everyone trying this, on some models it seems the power supply cable is glued or melted together and won't disconnect at all by "wiggling it out". I don't advise removing it at all. I gently lifted out my power supply with the cable still attached instead! Cleaned and back up and running fine. Thanks for the video though, but please be careful everyone.

Thank you. Ps4 sounded like a hair dryer on some newer games. Figured I'd clean it before RDR2 next week. Worked like a charm.

After many years and most people owning a ps5 by now 😂 but it really helpt me today to clean a secondhand ps4. It's way cooler and more quitely. Thx!

Great tutorial!

Despite it's age, I just had my first go at a PS4 clean, and this was well walked through, made it super easy and took me less than 10 mins in total!

Just a few tips and tricks from my experience:

1; When removing the 4-legged multicore from the powersupply, wiggle it sideways and with patience! These types of wires and plugs should always be one of the main concerns when handling electronic components, as they're fragile.

2; When disconnecting the powersupply itself from the socket, consider to use a flatheaded screwdriver or similar tool, to gently slide underneath edges of the powersupply element on the left side, as an assist for an even and level upwards pull. Also, in reverse order, make sure to allign the powersupply element and position it carefully, before pushing the left side back in place. A slight offset, and you'll be dealing with straightening out the forks again.

3; As a full-time service engineer, handling and cleaning very complex and expensive electronic components for professional stage lighting equipment, I prefer to use nothing but compressed air. BUT! - you HAVE to make sure that ALL dirt gets blown out! No matter if you're using brushes, cotton sticks, cloths, or compressed air. Chances are that the dirt relocates to other, and possibly, more sensitive parts of the electronics, and worst case, it will cause a fire or short a circuit and the PS4 is done.

4; IF you're using compressed air, make sure it's all dry, and without any sort of condensed water. If it's air-spray, then as mentioned in the video, beware of icing. Should it happen that you get icings or the nozzle condenses, then keep an eye on the affected area, and do not assemble or connect the power to the device, until fully defrosted and dried up completely!
Make sure to hold the fan itself in a locked position when cleaning, to avoid the risk of generating any false power in reverse to the system or burn out the fan itself.

I'd say it'll take you less than 10 minutes, if you have any basic experience and confidence in handling electronic components. If not, don't be stupid and rush yourself through it, take your time! As mentioned above, inside electronic devices there's plenty of sensitive and fragile bits n' pieces that will definitely break if you're not careful, and might break even if you are.
Just keep your eyes open and literally, do not touch anything that is not required for this maneuver to work, and you'll be fine!

Common sense people! - Also, make sure to backup all game progress or personalized data of the console. When rebooting, it MAY want to do a safe system reboot from a previous state of it's lifetime, just to be on the safe side!

Have fun, and thanks for the video GTRBytes, great work!

Cleaned my PS4 internally for the first time since owning it and this was by far the easiest video to follow :) thanks 4 years later

[sswulf]

I saw both your ps4 tutorials. I like how you just jump into it but still detailed. thank you!

[justsomeguy]

In my opinion this guy has the perfect tutorial style. Love how he explains things and showing step-by-step. Nothing feels hurried or omitted. Well done

[Daniel-dkrp]

It's worth mentioning that for best results, use the physical method such as a brush or q tip then the air or vacuum to get everything you loosened. Thanks the three disassembly tutorial

[Garageguy]

Jokes aside, the tutorial was really good and was easy for me, a beginner, to understand. Thanks for the help!!!

First time I've removed power supply etc. A test of nerves removing the little connector. Found it easier to lift the power supply first.
Cannot believe the difference it has made. Great vid.
