Venom PS5 Cleaning and Maintenance Screwdriver Tool Kit (PS5)

Product Information

The first part is taking out the stand, but you only need to follow it if you put the PS5’s stand vertically. You can skip it if you’re not using one or if the stand is put horizontally. 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 If you decide to use anything similar to a tweezer to hold your fan in place, be extra careful not to drop it inside. 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. 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.

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. I've made a video on how to get the cover off if you feel like it's gonna break - watch it here - https://www.cd24-7.co.uk/ps5-how-to-open-your-console The good news, though, is that you don't need to clean it very often, and when you do you don't need a lot of time or tools. In fact, some basic cleaning doesn't even need you to open up the console. How to clean your PS5: what Sony saysNow, 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. You can now remove the complete fan unit from its housing. Get a brush or vacuum cleaner, clean the fan unit

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. The first thing you'll need to do is remove the faceplate from the console. You should be able to do that by pulling it away from the top of the console –you don't need to use a lot of strength here, it should just pop off nice and easily. Once you've done that, remove the stand and the faceplate from the bottom. Put them somewhere safe. Now, for the most important bit. you need to get your vacuum or brush INSIDE the console housing, into the hole vacated by the fan unit. 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. While it is relatively easy to remove any dust from your PS5, preventing it from building up in the first place is a good idea. To this end Sony recommends keeping the console in a well-ventilated location, and not to operate in a closed cabinet or in a tightly enclosed space.
