The PlayStation 4 Slim can be cleaning from dust in three different ways.
Of course, each of the methods have their own, let's say,
pros and cons.
1st How to clean ps4 slim without opening
This method is the fastest and easiest.
To do this, open the top cover of the console.
This method was conceived for cleaning without disassembling the ps4 slim
so that the user can clean it himself
with a vacuum cleaner
and these actions do not violate the warranty
because we do not touch the warranty seal in this case.
The disadvantage of this method is that it
is not efficient enough; it will be useful only if you regularly
do this and small dust particles can be removed
with a vacuum cleaner, but if there is dust gathered there
then we proceed to the next method number 2
2nd way to cleaning dust PS4 Slim
Remove all the screws on the metal panel and unscrew the two screws on the console power supply.
Owning a PS4 Slim model CUH-2008 and CUH-2106, this method
is very easy to apply, because in these revisions
the metal panel is attached to the screws and removes it
no more special problems.
By the way, to find out what your PS4 Slim model is, turn the console over
and at the end where the HDMI output is located
your revision of the console will be indicated a little higher in the recess
In the PS4 Slim console of CUH 2108 and CUH 2116 revisions, you will have to cut off the plastic solders
and you should understand that in this case, you definitely lose the guarantee
because in any case there will be traces of the cut of this plastic
These unpleasant upgrades were made
on new revisions of PS4 Slim
- why? Unclear…
After that, we lift the metal panel
and gain access to the radiator, which as a rule accumulates all the dust
and interferes with normal cooling
as well as the fan
which should also be cleaned if it is all dusty
This method of cleaning the console is quite adequate if you have a PS4 Slim revision CUH-2008 or CUH-2106
Now you probably ask - what should the owners
of revisions CUH 2108 and CUH 2116 do during reassembly
if all the fastening plastic elements were cut to a clean one.
There are two options.
First, we select small screws with such
a thread that could be screwed into plastic, it is quite real
I did it.
The second option is to use a glue gun
glue all the places where the plastic was cut
3rd way is full clean PS4 Slim
The third way is the longest in disassembling, but for owners of revisions
CUH 2108 and CUH 2116 it fits perfectly,
because you won't have to cut anything
and owners of earlier models will be useful in that you can still change the thermal paste.
For the third method, I singled out a separate video
because I have to do many stages for disassembly
I left a link to this video in the description
and there is also an additional video
for reassembling the PS4 Slim for complete disassembly.
