Gamers worldwide delight in playing with the PlayStation 5, a console that boasts state-of-the-art graphics. Before its release, there were concerns regarding the machine’s cooling system, which is of utmost importance to ensure that the console does not overheat and cause long-term issues. Despite initial skepticism, the PS5 has proven its mettle, but it’s only a matter of time before dust accumulates both inside and outside the console. This is why in this article we will talk about how to clean PS5.

Dust is the bane of electronic devices, and it’s up to the user to keep it in check. It’s inevitable that sooner or later, you’ll have to crack open your PS5 and give it a deep clean. In the early years, a surface cleaning is sufficient for maintenance purposes.

However, when the warranty period is over, it’s necessary to remove the PS5 plates to gain access to the interior. You’ll know it’s time when you notice the console running slower than usual, which is often caused by dust buildup on components like the fan.

How To Clean Dust From Unopened PS5?

Let’s begin by exploring the process of superficial cleaning before we dive into disassembling the console. It’s the simplest part of the tutorial and you won’t have to take any risks by attempting to open the console on your own.

First, disconnect the console from the power source and remove any connected cables. The PS5 design consists of two side plates that must be removed in order to clean every nook and cranny of the console and access the fan, without disassembling any other components. You can use a microfiber cloth, isopropyl alcohol, a small vacuum cleaner or a compressed air spray to achieve this.

Here’s how you can proceed with the superficial cleaning:

  1. Place the PS5 on a clean surface to start the process.
  2. Moisten the microfiber cloth with a mixture of alcohol and water.
  3. Carefully remove the PS5 side plates and plastic pieces, giving them a good scrubbing to remove any dirt or dust.
  4. Use the compressed air spray or vacuum cleaner to remove any debris from the exposed holes, including the fan.
  5. Once you’re done, use the cloth to remove any remaining traces of dirt or grime from the surface.

While the design of the PS5 makes the superficial cleaning process fairly straightforward, it may not always be enough. In cases where dirt has accumulated in hard-to-reach areas, you may need to be persistent and use a swab dipped in alcohol to clean the machine’s corners thoroughly. Once you’ve used the compressed air spray to clear out any remaining dirt or debris from the ports and other areas, you can snap the cases back on with confidence.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your PS5 looking and running as good as new. So go ahead and give your console a clean, and enjoy your gaming experience to the fullest with a clean PS5!

How To Open the PS5 and Clean the Dust?

If the above method helped you to clean your PS5 that’s perfect, but sometimes things are much worse. If you notice some symptoms like excessive heat or unusual noise, it may be time to give your console a deeper cleaning. This requires opening the console carefully, which should only be done when it’s out of warranty.

To start the cleaning process, you’ll need some basic materials like a cloth, isopropyl alcohol, compressed air spray, and a brush. In addition, you’ll also need a screwdriver and a pair of pliers to open the ventilation system. The key to success is to follow these steps carefully and take your time. Remember, you’re dealing with sensitive electronics that require delicate handling.

Here are the steps you need to follow to clean your PS5 console:

  1. Remove the two covers from the PS5 console.
  2. Pry off the black piece and unhook the fan connector with pliers.
  3. Remove the screws from the fan and use a brush to clean it.
  4. Use compressed air or a vacuum to remove all dust from the console.
  5. Use the brush to clean the inner grill of the fan hole.

After completing these simple steps, you’ll be able to remove the screws surrounding the large black piece. There are a couple of connectors and screws that you need to remove to open the console fully, but be sure to handle the motherboard with care.

You don’t want to damage any of the sensitive components by accidentally dropping any cleaning products on them. Instead, use a brush together with compressed air to remove all the dust. Once you’re done cleaning, you can reassemble the console by performing the steps in reverse. Don’t forget to clean your PS5 DualSense controller as well.

Maintaining Your PS5

Regular maintenance is essential if you want to make the most of your PS5 and make sure it will last for years to come. You can maintain your console in good shape and keep problems like overheating and dust accumulation at bay by following a few easy steps.

Keep your PS5 in a well-ventilated area

Make sure your PS5 is stored in a space that has good ventilation. This is one of the most crucial things to remember when keeping your PS5. Avoid putting your console in an enclosed area like a cabinet or shelf since overheating can seriously harm it. Instead, make an effort to keep it outside where air can easily circulate around it.

Keep your PS5 clean

Dusting is a crucial component of PS5 maintenance. On your console, dust and dirt can accumulate over time, which can cause damage or poor performance. Dusting your PS5 with a microfiber cloth on a regular basis will help you prevent this. This will keep it functioning properly and looking nice.

Do not smoke near your PS5

Finally, it’s crucial to refrain from smoking near your PS5. Smoking can accumulate tar and other particles, which over time can ruin your console. Make doubly sure to smoke in a different location and keep your PS5 away from cigarette smoke to maintain it in good condition.

Conclusion: How to Clean PS5?

You can guarantee that your PS5 stays in outstanding condition and gives you many years of excellent gaming by paying attention to these easy steps. So spend a few minutes each week caring for your console, and you’ll be able to take advantage of all the PS5’s advantages for many years to come and play many games, including stunning Unreal Engine 5 games on it for the long future.

Disclaimer The information provided in this article is for general informational purposes only. While it is important to keep your PS5 console clean, please exercise caution when doing so. Disassembling the console can be a complex and potentially dangerous process, and should only be attempted by experienced individuals with proper knowledge and tools. Any damage caused to your console as a result of improper cleaning or disassembly is your responsibility and the author and publisher of this article will not be held liable for such damages. It is recommended that you refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines for cleaning your PS5 console, and seek professional assistance if needed.
