✅Today's tip✅
Tracking of screws, cable/ribbon/flex cable positions!
This PS4 Slim Model: CUH 2215B was brought in for maintenance as its fans were starting to sound very loud, indicating thermal stress.
There are approximately fifty(50)+ screws to be removed from this unit. Furthermore the screws are of varying sizes. Invest in a magnetic screw mat or you can make a Grid to keep track of screws.
You're human, don't expect to remember the position and order of removal/replacement of these screws.
Take pictures at each stage of your teardown. Place the screws next to their corresponding holes so you can easily see the screw type. Place flex cables, ribbons in their expected positions and take pictures. These pictures would help you now and in the future if the process ever has to be repeated.
Divide each stage of the teardown into layers, for example, Power Supply removal, Board Retention Plate removal etc. This way when you are about reassemble the device you can follow the stages in reverse order.
This system was taken apart and deep cleaned, dust removed from the intake and exhaust vents and thermal paste changed to Arctic MX 5.
