PS4 Slim Cleaning, Maintenance and Dusting

PS4 slim cleaning is not as difficult as it is in the earlier versions of the PS4. One of the main differences is that with the slim you can actually get to the fan and the heat sink without even removing the warranty sticker. The top cover has to come off, then the power supply needs to be loosened and a metal plate needs to be removed. After that you have easy access to the fan as well as the heat sink for cleaning.
Dusting the PS4 is easily done using a dusting brush and some canned air or a vacuum. You can also use the dusting brush inside the PS4 slim on the fan and the heat sink.
Overall PS4 slim maintenance is pretty easy, especially when you compare it to the older consoles.

Straight to the point, no unnecessary long intro, no autobiography, just the info I came here for. I love this guy, great video I’ll sub!

[vulcan-raven]

Your videos are the best dude.
No crappy loud background music. No other distracting stuff.
Just right to it with clear and precise instructions.
Thank you.

Hello sir, thank you so much for this video!! I am a mom of 3 with a heavily used ps4 slim that is over 10 years old.. my husband and I have been using it since before we had children. I thought it finally died today but as a last stitch attempt I decided to take it apart to clean it. Your informative video saved me a great deal of trouble. Thank you so much!!!

While other people are opening presents I'm opening my ps4 slim of 6 years this Christmas morning and man was it dirty; no wonder it was overheating! Been having recent issues of it automatically shutting off randomly and finally decided to do something about it. So grateful to finding your video; never knew I could just pop the panel off without any tools!

[HangingWithDan]

after a 2-3 years of use, this video helped me the most. even though I knew how to do it myself, I had to double check to make sure I didn't miss anything. of course one of my screws were pre-stripped, so I just replaced it with my screw kits. Everything is now running cool. Thank You!

For anyone who Dosent have canned air I used a hair dryer with a slim dryer head and taped off all of the opening except a little so the pressure there it works pretty good 👍🏻
Ps I never opened or cleaned a console before this helped

[josephgibbons]

I litteraly didnt know u could straight up pop the top off mine looks brand new inside thanks fir this video!!!

[Furygasm]

I’ve been using a vacuum with the brush attachment on electronics for decades without any issues. Great videos, great advice, and great info!

Got a pre owned ps4 from the shop last month. Noticed it was noisy as hell, stumbled upon this gem. Decided to try it. Yep, true enough the heat sink and the fan was dusty. Got some compressed air and the specialised screwdrivers. You can actually hear the difference afterwards. This vid is really helpful. Kudos mate! 👍🏽

[coconut]

Even tho this was uploaded 5 years ago it still helped me a LOT, so thanks 😊🤝

[Mmtk]

Super helpful and straight to the point. This dude gets it

[anggasatya]

As a new owner of PS4 slim that put his beloved console in heavy dusty area of home. This is beyond helpful. Thank you so much for making this video

[bobbyewrightjr]

i appreciate it, my system wasn't that dirty I was scared as hell when I took it off. Thank you!

[michaelmileham]

could have shown putting it back together, and close ups before you unscrewed anything, but as a whole very clear video this guy knows what he's doing. Thanks.

[angrygamez]

Omg, I didn't have tools and completely obliterated the metal plate thing around where it meets the screws. Im in disbelief in how quiet it is now, I can actually hear my breathing. I'm speechless and at the same time hysterically laughing from how amazing it is. Thank you

[Timbofett]

This guy is more concerned about where I live than how I treat my ps4.

[TheDiscipleofSlash]

Your videos are a huge must for PS4 owners. Thank you so much for this I feel so much better after cleaning my PlayStation!
