Venom PS5 Cleaning and Maintenance Screwdriver Tool Kit (PS5)

Product Information

If you decide to use anything similar to a tweezer to hold your fan in place, be extra careful not to drop it inside. Now, we’re going to clean the air intake from dust. This is where the air goes in and out of your console, so cleaning it is paramount. Once you have the fan secured, simply start using your compressed air on the fan. For a better result, you can ask a friend or anyone around your household to vacuum the dust that will come out of the fan as soon as it leaves your console. This’ll ensure that you won’t leave a dusty table or floor behind.

If there are some dust deposits that just won't shift, you can use isopropyl alcohol with either a lint-free cloth or a cotton bud to wipe it clean.For most of us, that's all you really need to do. But if you want to give your PS5 a deeper clean, here's how to do it. How to clean the inside of your PS5 PS5 cleaning instructions from Sony are the same for both the Standard and Digital Edition of the console. For cleaning the plastic covers of the PS5 and the DualSense Wireless Controller use a soft, dry cloth. For any ports on the console that have accumulated any dirt or dust, use a dry cloth to wipe away the buildup. Now, if your base is placed in the horizontal direction, you only need to remove it. Simply put the console on its face, with the charging port facing upwards. Then, lift the base up to remove it. Remove the PS5’s Plate

Lift the corner of the top faceplate, the one with a PlayStation logo. Lift it with your plastic pry or your nails until it “unclips” from the case. Sony's advice for fixing noisy PS5 fans is first of all, prevention: make sure there's at least 10cm of space around each side of the console, and don't place it on a carpet or rug with long fibres. And if you do have dusty vents, it recommends you use a low-powered vacuum cleaner to remove any dust that's accumulated in and around the air vents. Make sure your PS5 is disconnected from the power cable when you do this. Now it's time for some digital dusting. Look for any obvious dust deposits and remove them either with a very gentle vacuuming, or with a blast of canned air (if you don't have a can of air, it's a brilliant thing to have around: I use them for getting gunk out of keyboards, blasting dust out of my AV receiver and frightening my children). The key here is to use the minimum you need: don't go in gung-ho with your Dyson at maximum power or your can of air at very close range. Make sure you include the fins at the side and the ports on the front too.

Prevention goes a long way in keeping dust at bay. Using an air purifier can help combat any build-up, but it won’t do all the work and you’ll need to replace the filters regularly. Even if it’s just an external wipe, cleaning the PS5 faceplates frequently is sensible, as is placing your PS5 on top of a cabinet or table to avoid the floor. Of course, make sure those surfaces are cleaned regularly too. You can now remove the complete fan unit from its housing. Get a brush or vacuum cleaner, clean the fan unit Make sure you keep your PS5 on a hard stable surface, as soft tops like carpet or upholstery or carpets can lead to a buildup of heat and dust.
