PS4 sounds like jet engine

[xDanielxOossiex]

My PS4 sounds like a jet engine whenever it's on. Even in the main menu it's very loud. What can I do to fix it? I already tried blowing dust out with compressed air can.

Also, it's very hot.

maybe it needs to crack open and use paint brush to brush off the dust, as well as replacing the thermal paste?

some dust bunnies might've clogged up the vents, compressed air will only make it worse (i had a dust bunny stuck inside my laptop's fan by blowing it deeper into the laptop when it was stuck on the heatsink)

My brother uses it a lot. He plays a lot on the ps4 and does not want to lose if even if it's for one week.

Either you send it in, void your warranty or let the console die an early death due to heat

 

Tell your brother that

I disassembled the ps4. With an airpump, I blew out a lot of dust. It's quiet again.

I did void the warranty, but there was only 6 months left. And I told my brother he has to pay me if he breaks the ps4. We bought the ps4 together 1.5 years ago and we both paid €200 each.

Send it anyway, your brother doesn't have a say in the matter, he should buy he's own console

I already fixed it myself and I've void the warranty. It still works fine and it is very quiet now.
