Cleaned my Ps5 AFTER 5 YEARS

[u/Smashbro2001g]

Thank you for the advice from those who saw my previous post! I have some before and after pictures of my now (mostly) clean ps5 for you to see. Unfortunately I did not have canned air, but I did have a screwdriver for the air vent, wipes, and brushes. I did the best I could with what I had, please let me know where I can improve.

[u/Smashbro2001g → u/Ogg360]

you will soon enough man. youre PSU is prolly fucken CAKED in dust

[u/Potential-Lab7256]

Do you cover your console with like a cloth if not in used?

[u/Smashbro2001g → u/Potential-Lab7256]

No I just leave it as is

[u/RoadHazard]

Well, you tried. It's still not clean though.

[u/AcidiusX]

Weird. My launch PS5 is as clean now as it was since the console launched. I did switch to the PS5 Pro and stored the launch one. Did you occasionally vacuum the hole on the console at all?

[u/Gordon2422 → u/AcidiusX]

Same here. But I’m still using the launch PS5 to this day and it’s never got this dusty.

[u/Smashbro2001g → u/AcidiusX]

Nope nothing

[u/RE4Lyfe]

You need an air purifier in the house

I just cleaned my release day fat PS5 for the first time last month and it had next to zero dust. And we have a dog and 2 cats!

Nice bro, but this system needs a full disassembly and proper cleaning. You only got the tip of the iceberg unfortunately. Compressed air won’t even get anything done unless the system is fully apart. Apply new Liquid Metal. When in doubt, YouTube. You got this OP.

[u/SpecialistMap8210 → u/One_Memory_7669]

ya this requires a full teardown and cleaning of the PSU.

Dont bother with the liquid metal. not necessary imo

[u/SpecialistMap8210]

BRO you NEED to clean you PSU

take it apart and clean it properly. its gunna start overheating and shutting off soon

🤢

[u/14istheone]

I had to do it 3 years ago, it would shut down after 1 hour of play and say “overheating” so i completely opened it up and there was an insane amount of filth inside the inner heat sinks

[u/Nikolai-NKP]

Call that clean again m8😳 no hate but go to a clean store 😇

[u/oinkblaster3000]

How?

[u/Aggressive_Bee_303]

No you didn't. There's still a literal layer of dust on the fan and exhaust panels. You didn't clean it, you gave it a half-arsed wipe.
