PlayStation 4 Lüfteraustausch

I have a CUH-1102A version of this PS4.

Would this teardown work for it?

Can these take an SSD?

same, here. there are only the middle screws, no covers or screws on the sides. and it sits pretty tight

turns out 12XX models are different. Look at this for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpr0z0ve...

This part looks dangerous. There should be a flag/warning not to destroy that cable yes?

I second Shawn's comment. That cable seems to be very fragile, and one of the wires snapped on mine while removing the cable. It wouldn't have bothered me so much, if it wasn't a pain to find a replacement for it.

The tweezers used here, do not cut it. Not enough grip.

I had to use a set of needle nose pliers to remove this.

Power supply connection stuck. I don't want to damage it

How do you remove the battery wires? I’ve personally been wiggling it to no effect, is there a certain way i have to pull it out, and should i pull it out of the power supply or the console?

This does not work on the newer 12 series

Please note that the younger generations of PS4 have a different setup of connectors to the driver, its sometimes 3 of these as presented but with different sizes and no pad to press down. However, dont be alarmed, just use the pair of tweezers and gently pull them off the connectors of the motherboard. Grab on tight on the blue area of the ribbon cable and pull gently! They tend to sit tight so take some time and patience on this.

“Significant force” is a bit of an understatement. It’s like it’s superglued together..

There is a piece of plastic underneath the casing here. The PS4 I worked on got so hot on the inside that part of the plastic started to melt and warped some inside the metal plate underneath. This made it tricky to open the case, but by using spacers I managed to get it off.

why does my PS4 have some metal thing attaching the plate to the metal beneath it?

My PS4 also has 2 metal rings around each screw hole and 4 metal pieces 2 on each side closing in the same shape as the pressure plate as you take the pressure plate off?

This is the 2nd PS4 I have disassembled and on both units I have found there is a black Phillips screw securing the upper EMI shield. This should be mentioned in the teardown as the EMI shield cannot be removed completely without first removing this screw and you risk damaging the EMI shield in the process . To locate the screw turn the unit over and you will see a small black Phillips screw located near the power supply prongs. There will be a set of arrows pointing to the screw. Once you remove this screw then you can fully release the upper EMI shield.

Ditto. This is my first time disassembling a PS4. EMI shield didn’t lift off easily on one corner. Noticed the black Phillips screw holding it in place. I scrolled up in the tutorial to see if I missed it. Easy enough.

The screw located to the far left in the picture above is in a different place in my PS4. In mine it is located in the hole at the very top right hand corner of the fan right next the the black plastic post that secures it in place. The other screw is located in the same position as shown above.

Same comment about the location of the screw that shows up on the bottom left. You can see it's in the wrong place because it isn't there when lifting the EMI shield in the second picture of step 33, and the EMI shield has an arrow on it pointing to the actual screw location (barely visible in the photos, but visible).

Model is CUH-1004A

When installing the new fan, the holes may be slightly out-of-spec. If the fan is not completely seated, I suggest making a minor adjustment to the hole that is off with a Dremel bit. (the ball-like one worked for me). Tried to use a regular drill bit and power drill but couldn’t cut it. Dremel bit had it expanded perfectly in seconds. In my case, the errant hole was the one that fits into a plastic post, closest to the corner and at the bottom of the picture above.

what happen if i don’t get all of them on there correctly?

what happen if i don’t get all of them on there right?

The padding strip was too degraded to remove intact. Instead, I purchased a rectangular felt strip from the hardware store. I inked the existing pad and used it as a “stamp” on the peel-away part of the felt pad and cut with scissors. Placed new curved strip onto new fan and trimmed height with X-acto blade.

My original fan did not have any pads to transfer. Used foam weather stripping instead.
