If your PS4 is running hard and constantly overheating and has led you to replacing the fan, follow the steps below. Be aware that any replacement or teardown beyond the hard drive voids the Sony warranty.
Removing the motherboard separates the original thermal paste between the processor and the heat sink. Before you reassemble your device, reapply a new layer of thermal paste. Follow this guide to learn how.

Lift the upper case up and back to remove it from the PS4.
“Significant force” is a bit of an understatement. It’s like it’s superglued together..
You absolutely should not need a lot of force for this. In the picture above, press upward using the left thumb from under the outer lip of the cover. You may need to pull it slightly toward you as well. Once that half is lifted, the right-hand side is still firmly attached. Keeping the left-hand side of the top separated, flip the unit over. Along the right-hand side, press the outside lip with your thumb about 2 thumb-widths down from the corner. There is a tab here and once released, the cover comes off easily and off in the back. Otherwise, you’ll be placing stress vertically (and rotationally) on the first tab on the side.
I appreciate this feedback – thank you. This sounds like a safer method. I’ll test it on our guide unit and update the procedure.
THIS SET OF INSTRUCTIONS FROM YOU, IS ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL.
I got this cover off quite easily. Still some resistance, but I didn't need this significant force at all.
THANK YOU!!

I found an easier method for myself is to have the console upright and pointed away from myself. From this position, wrap your fingers over the top of the cover, hooking it in its front with the last digits of each finger. This allows you to press with your palm into the top of the console and pry in an upward/outward motion. This feels safer as it took much less force to disengage the problematic clip.

Remove the twelve 9.7 mm Torx screws securing the upper EMI shield.
In my PS4, there is a small black Philips screw behind where the power lead connects to the motherboard. That screw connects the EMI shield to the inner metal where the power supply sits.
I had exactly the same thing, and mine is a fairly old model of PS4. Confused me for a moment until I spotted it.

Can confirm this.
This screw was on mine. To anyone reading this, flip the PS4 over and look where the pain in the ass power supply connector is.
Black screw right there.
If you have that screw of course. :)

Remove the two 15.6 mm Phillips screws.
-
Gradually unscrew the pressure plate by turning each screw one half turn at a time.
-
Alternate between the two screws to maintain even pressure on the pressure plate.
My PS4 also has 2 metal rings around each screw hole and 4 metal pieces 2 on each side closing in the same shape as the pressure plate as you take the pressure plate off?

How strong do you tighten the screws when re-applying the plate?
To the max, or stop one to two turns before?
I've tightened mine until the screws became taut and I've not had any stability issues.

Remove the upper EMI shield.
This is the 2nd PS4 I have disassembled and on both units I have found there is a black Phillips screw securing the upper EMI shield. This should be mentioned in the teardown as the EMI shield cannot be removed completely without first removing this screw and you risk damaging the EMI shield in the process . To locate the screw turn the unit over and you will see a small black Phillips screw located near the power supply prongs. There will be a set of arrows pointing to the screw. Once you remove this screw then you can fully release the upper EMI shield.

Ditto. This is my first time disassembling a PS4. EMI shield didn’t lift off easily on one corner. Noticed the black Phillips screw holding it in place. I scrolled up in the tutorial to see if I missed it. Easy enough.
throw it way, electromagnetic fields dont exist

Insert the flat end of a spudger in between the fan cable and the motherboard.
-
Twist the spudger to lift the connector straight up and disconnect it from the motherboard.

Lift the motherboard out from the PS4.
That shiny metal cover box on the opposite side of the hdi port shown in picture 30 at the very front is showing over heating signs I guess very brown around the edges I think is causing my PS4 not to show up on tv any ideas how to fix that hdi port looks fairly good to me but the black plastic port shows burnt signs as well that's on the same side of the HDMI port but the shiny metal cover is on the opposite side

Great guide, but where to buy a fan for the ps4?!
Look one ebay, that's where my store gets the majority of out parts from. considering we fix computers.
Will this guide work with the CUH-1200 model?
My PS4 has been overheating so I decided to take it apart and clean it. I cleaned it well but it still over heats the fan will try to start up but cuts back off plz help
Replace the fan ... Yours works intermittently that probably means ut has a bad bearing.
Well, after replacing the fan, triple checking every thing and plugging it back in…. I got nothing. No power at all.
took it all apart three times to make sure all cables, connections and touch sensors were making contact. Still nothing.
With the bad fan in it at least still powered on befor this.
Many help appreciated !
Did you find a solution
Did you find a solution? I’m currently having the same issue!
My power button doesn’t work, but the eject works and the console seems to be running fine when I turn it on with my controller. Any ideas on what I did wrong?
This worked: https://youtu.be/L5Sp39M0O6Q

I followed the guide with no issues, but when I hooked my ps4 up again and pressed the power button, the console beeped, I got the blue light, but then it turned off. No fan, no screen, nothing.
The power button works, and there is power - otherwise I wouldn’t get a beep.
So I took it apart and reinstalled the old noisy fan. When I put it back together, same result.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?
Nice man. Very very so good your guide.
Did this repair, fan is better but now my PS4 cuh-1116a won’t read any game discs?! It did beforehand but I did notice there is a bracket on the top of my optical drive? Is it in the wrong way? Could a wire being loose cause this and if so which one? Any help is appreciated thanks.
After I replaced the fan and thermal paste and reassembled my ps4, I have NO POWER at all. I have disassembled and reassembled countless times to make sure I didn’t miss something. All wires are correctly placed. Someone please help!

There is also a risk of frying components with static electricity if your were touching all over the motherboard.
Cleaned out the dust and when I put it back together everything worked perfectly, and the stock fan is now silent.

my playstation is now booting in Safe Mode… please help!
My fan circuit was damaged so i try to power the fan by an external 12V 1.5 amp power supply (your typical adapter 230v-12v)
However when i connect brown wire with +12v and the black one with Minus- , it spins for a couple seconds then stops.
Repeatedly does the same .
So my question is, where is the grey wire for and where do i connect it? Is it a speed regulator? Can i add the grey wire with the plus or the minus?
Great guide. Used it to replace the fan on my PS4 launch edition.
My PS4 layout does not look like this in step 1? My model is CUH-1215A
Ps4 turns on but when I load a game the red line appears and it shuts off.
Sam rules!!!

I replaced the thermal paste and now it's working great. No more overheating red light. Silent as a fish running full throttle. Thank you so much for making this for us!
Thank you! Worked like a charm. The worst part was that it died right before the weekend so I had to wait longer to get the new fan. It was actually a pretty fun repair.
why so much things just to get to the fan?
It is because the EMI shield has to be removed to access the fan screws, unfortunately.
Thank you. Great guide. I used it to disassemble my PS4 to clean it. Works great!
İnanılmaz güzel bir rehber. PS4’ün sesinden eser kalmadı. Teşekkürler…
An amazing guide. Fan noise completely gone. Thanks…
