My launch day PS4 on life support brehs :mjcry:

[DaSk8D00D]

It’s mostly just a Netflix box these days since I got an X1 & Switch but it does have a ton of mileage on it from over the years. Last night It hit us with the PS4 is overheating message while watching tv so I let it sit unplugged for a while and used compressed air to blow out the vents. Turn it on again and it’s running but dead silent .

Doesn’t last past the homescreen and crashes again. Spent about an hour this afternoon taking it apart and cleaning out the fukkton of dust on the inside. I clear out a ton of dust so I think it should be all good again. Plug it in, turn on the Witcher 3 and this shyt is dead silent with this repeated clicking sound like the fan doesn’t work

Not about to fukk with this thing anymore today but has anyone else on here had luck replacing the fan?

My console life on the line here

I'm worried my og ps4 is on life support too. shyt is loud af even when I'm just watching Netflix. I even opened it up and cleaned it. I was going to cop the spiderman black Friday bundle for 200 but it was all sold out

Bought mine when it came out and gave it to my nephew when I switched to the pro. The OG still working

Day one Xbox and Kinect running as flawlessly as the dashboard beta program will allow...

Spoiler

 

[jshani]

Gamestop giving $175 plus $25 trade credit on the OG PS4, trade that in and cop a slim for $99 unless you gone try and ride it out until next gen...

i still have my OG ps4 day 1. Cleaned it for the first time a week ago , it wasnt as dusty as i thought it would be but i mostly did it because it sounded like a jet taking off .

Trade that shyt in for a new one before the fan blows out. Mine was doing the same shyt and now I probably couldn’t even trade it in as the fan noticeably wont kick in and just makes an occasional clicking sound. It crashes in minutes just by idling in the main menu

I might fukk around and try to DIY it one last time if I can find a video on it but I think it’s a wrap now:cowhand:

I put in work following this vid but I think the damage was already done, as my fan blew out & stopped running before I did the cleaning anyway. That 4-5 years of built up dust tho:kbyuck:
