In this video I show you how to clean your dusty PS5. Cleaning your PS5 will extend the life cycle, and may even save you money in the long run. Unwanted dust build up can cause your console to overheat, and sometimes even cause more serious faults.

Thanks for watching! The PS5 used in this video was a donor console previously used by other technicians (which is why you might not see the antenna’s attached etc). 😊 If the video helped, please considering subscribing to the channel 😊

If anyone has smoked (Tobacco or weed) and played their PS5... everything will have a layer of sticky residue that won't allow you to simply vacuum or wipe the dust away. Get a big bottle of 99% Isopropyl alcohol and a lot of qtips.

@joshkelly4682 4 ай бұрын

You can use a cloth and alcohol and it removes all of the residue

Thanks for the video! I cleaned mine a while ago just by taking the front and back panels off. I was trying to figure out why it sounded like a jet engine when I initially turned it on, I figured it was clogged. It was a little dusty but nothing terrible so I did a quick clean. Turns out it was loud because of the vibration from the fan echoing in the entertainment center. 😂 This will help when I feel brave enough to do a deep cleaning.

Great video but I have a 1200 series, and I can't find a video on how to clean it. Can you link one if you know one or make one? Your guide is easy to follow and amazing, and I was disappointed when I found out I can't use this vid

@Introversitive 2 ай бұрын

I'm still kind of weary about taking my PS5 digital apart like that, but I have had it nearly 3 years and so I know I will need to do a deep clean instead of a normal clean like I have been doing every so often. I am getting the "Your PS5 is too hot" message every once in a while but it's not happening all the time and not with every game. So far it's only happened twice for me within a year. I am weary to take it to a game shop as I live in Thailand, but I might have to do that and pay for a deep clean as I watch. First I will try it myself with the help of your video.

@Mo.867 6 күн бұрын

Top man! PS was randomly switching off and power supply was getting hot so had to do a thorough clean. When I opened it, the power supply vents were all blocked and heatsinks caked in dust. Sometimes regularly cleaning the fan just isn't enough. I'll update on whether it solved my problem. Thanks for the video and subbed.

I use a Maketa Dust Blower and shoot air back through the exhaust. It is essentially a handheld leaf blower. I also run my consoles in a room with Air Purification, eliminates the need to deep clean my electronics.

I recommend a small set of needle nose pliers to pull the clips out. Pulling actual wires could result in a potentially bad connection due to the wire possibility coming out of the connector.

Hi. Nice thorough tutorial! I have a question though. I just had a sudden shutdown while playing due to dust buildup. I did some cleaning and vacuuming the heatsinks by only removing the fan. Do you think that should be enough or do I need to disassemble everything like you did? Obviously I wasn't able to remove all dust this way

It does when you actually temove warrenty sticker and go deep into the console i would say anything you start screwing off isa risk just take off the sideplates and clean it that way thebfirst year
