Hey, my brothers ps4 is  kind of dead i guess.

 

First it started overheating when playing games and then my brother tried to initialize it and it didnt work because of the overheating. So now its stuck in a loop and the overheating may have caused damage. When i turn it on and wait for 5 minutes then the screen tears and it disconnects hdmi. But it is still on and the white bar is still there on the ps4 it self. and i can hear the fan running. 

 

What can this issue be? Im going to tear it apart tomorrow but it is always good to have some places to look at.

 

Thanks for your help!

I would advise either grounding yourself by touching a radiator for a few seconds or wearing non-static gloves if you will need to touch any of the components inside when using the compressed air or changing the paste etc. Q-tips are also good if you want to get really clean.
