PS4 Playstation 4 Slim Loud Fan Repair

What causes the PS4 Slim loud fan fault?

The fan in the console works off the temperature of the motherboard. If the motherboard is getting too hot, the fans will rev up to keep the PS4 Slim cool. Sometimes a build up of dust, or thermal paste drying up can contribute to higher temperatures in the Playstation 4 Slim.

This repair option includes us opening the console and fully servicing it. Removing all dust and applying new thermal paste. This can help the system to run cool. However, overheating can be an early sign of a PS4 Slim developing the BLOD (Blue Light Of Death) fault which is due to the solder connections breaking between the APU chip and the motherboard - normally due to overheating. If this is the case, servicing the console will not fix the fault. You would need the BLOD repair instead (click here to view). 

If you have loud fans, you should use this page to book you repair in with. We will service the console and if it doesn't work, we will let you know and ask for the price difference to be paid. We would not charge you for both repairs.
