Hi everyone, you are on HowFixit.
If your PS4 Pro fan is not working, in this video guide I'll show you how to replace the
fan in the game console.
What you need for the disassembly of the PlayStation 4 Pro:
Torx T8 screwdriver with a hole inside Phillips 1 screwdriver
Plastic Pry tools Tweezers
Thermal paste Antistatic brush
The PlayStation 4 Pro has a lot of screws of different sizes, and it is very important
to screw them in the right places.
I recommend using a magnetic mat and keeping track of each screw step-by-step - this will
help to reassemble your game console successfully.
And don't worry about losing any of the screws, all of them will definitely remain on the
magnetic mat.
In the description, I left links where to buy all the necessary tools.
Also in the description, I left a link to the video where I test the effectiveness of
liquid metal in PS4 Pro and thermal paste.
This video will be of interest to owners of the first generation PS4 Pro.
This is the first generation of PS4 Pro model: CUH-7015b, CUH-7016b, CUH-7115b, CUH-7116b.
If your PS4 Pro second generation CUH-7215b, CUH-7216b - to this video guide I left link
in the description.
Let's start disassembling the PS4 Pro.
Remove the plastic cover over the hard drive.
Use a Phillips 1 screwdriver to remove one screw, then remove the hard drive.
Remove the warranty seal, then using a Torx T8 screwdriver remove the three screws.
PS4 Pro CUH-7115b and CUH-7116b has only one warranty seal and one screw.
Now nothing prevents you from removing the bottom cover.
On the back of the device, you need to grab the two corners with your fingertips and pull
up until you hear a loud click.
Now slide the cover back and remove it.
Remove the two screws that hold the power supply in place.
Remove the top cover in the same way as the bottom cover.
Grip the cover on the corner and pull it up until it clicks.
Then, when you are sure the cover is off, slide the cover back.
Use a Torx T8 screwdriver to remove five screws from the power supply.
Remove the power supply by pulling it up.
But be careful not to pull too far, the power supply is still connected with one cable.
Grip the connector on the power supply and pull it out.
Disconnect all ribbon cables and antenna cables from
the mainboard.
Remove all screws on the metal plate.
The back of the metal plate also accumulates dust.
On the back side of the metal plate there are thermal pads from VRAM chips, do not lose
them.
Please note: it is necessary to remove the screws evenly on each side, with a few turns
of each screw.
Grip the edge of the motherboard and slowly lift it upwards from the game console housing.
Now you can replace the fan.
Use manufacturer part number G95C12MS1AJ-56J14 to find a replacement fan for your PS4 Pro
revision.
Also in the description, I left a link to a fan for the PlayStation 4 Pro.
Installing the motherboard, make sure that the power supply cable goes into this hole.
Please note: do not over-tighten the screws to avoid damaging the APU chip.
Tighten the screws evenly on each side, with a few turns of each screw.
I really appreciate you watching my video guides, you can ask all additional questions
regarding the repair in the comments.
Thanks for watching and see you next time on HowFixit.
