I have had my Ps4 for 4 years now.
A month ago there was always a message that it was overheating and the Ps4 was really hot when I put my hand on it. It even got very loud when I played big games e.g. Warzone and suddenly it went out. I checked the internet and it became clear that my Ps4 was dusty. Then I opened my Ps4 and there was really a lot of dust inside (cleaned it for the first time). In any case, I cleaned it and suddenly my Ps4 was quiet and didn't get hot anymore and I was able to play Warzone for 1 month without any problems. But now my Ps4 is getting a little loud again and this message appears again and after a while my Ps4 turns off again. Do you think it got dusty again or can it be that my Ps4 has problems?
I dust my ps4 from the outside every day
I believe that there are either dusty spots that you haven't dusted off (maybe not as easily possible), or because of their age, they are simply already. Let's say fragile and weak.
With the vacuum cleaner?
Just dust it off again and find out.
No with n rags
Yes, I thought of that too. There were really places where I should try harder because the dust was really hard in some places. So the most important part of the fan was the most affected by the dust. I took a toothpick and scraped some of the dust off.
So it depends on where you screwed it on and dusted it off.
In a PC where the PS4 belongs, there are always chips that get hot. For the PS4, I think that's the CPU, which has an integrated graphics unit.
That means there's a cooler on it, that should be a construct with metal fins and a cooler. It is very important that it is dusted. You can do that well with compressed air. If you don't have a compressor, there's also a can in the hardware store.
So that you can blow the dust out of all Finns and also clean the fan, it should get better afterwards.
