I can order one on amazon but I kinda just wanna go to the store today and buy one without buying a whole set. Anyone know where I can buy one? Im taking apart my PS4 so I can make it stop sounding like a fucking airplane.

I googled what that is and Walmart came up but it might be their dumb online marketplace links.

Microcenter I think is your best bet for that kind of thing but they aren't super common. And you probably can't buy just one but idk how much it matters, sets are still pretty cheap

I stripped a screw really bad so I had to cut the little tab that held it out of the plastic with pliers

I figured the power supply would be fine with just four screws instead of five


the one with the arrow pointing to it lol

the one thing most everyone neglects to open and clean is, if they have one, the power brick

there's actually a fan inside that, and usually it's sitting where it can collect the most gross shit

it's also rather dangerous to open it up, mind you, given that it's got unshielded capacitors and shit

the console itself has been really noisy lately and I dont even use it to play games ever, just streaming services

shit that stores power in things that have power going through them

basically, they still store power even after being unplugged, and if you were to touch one, it would discharge into you very violently.

if you've ever taken something apart and seen something that looks like wire coiled around something near where the power cord is, that.

How the hell did you strip one of those? You could have tried a properly sized eyeglass screwdriver to catch the opposing tabs. I don't think these have the dots in the middle.

Yeah that's terrible. Ever since consoles started using fans for cooling this is what happens when you neglect it. Every time one overheated, got loud, this is why. So many consoles were probably thrown away when it could have been prevented with a little effort. I still have working launch day PS2/PS3.

Anyway if you're careful with the wires definitely get the fan out and clean it. The heatsink nearby is probably also caked. Get a vac or compressed air since you won't be able to get the middle of the fins. And as was mentioned use air to clean the power supply. There's stuff in there you don't want to touch directly. All that's left is the vents in the shell.

I just cleaned my PS4 out recently and also had to buy a new tool to open it. But for some reason, the T8 wasn't doing the trick, I needed a T9 to get it open. I also cracked the case trying to pry it off...but now the console runs better so I guess it was a worthy sacrifice
