A gamer calls for help because his unsuspecting brother cleaned his PS4 and forgot an important part

A gamer lets his brother clean his PS4. But things go pretty wrong because the brother has no idea what he’s doing. In the end, a part remains that should normally be installed in the PS4.

Anyone who has owned and played a PS4 knows that the PS4 can be as loud as an airplane. Therefore, it can be a good idea to clean your PS4 console thoroughly on a regular basis. Dust and dirt weaken the PS4’s cooling system and make the PS4 very loud.

Someone wanted to make his brother “happy” and cleaned his PS4. But in the end, the PS4 is neither properly clean nor did he think about all the parts.

Brother forgets to put the mainboard cover back into the PS4

What exactly happened? A gamer posted an emotional post on reddit. His brother wanted to clean his PS4 Slim, but he didn’t have the right tools or do any research on how to properly clean the console. In another post, he explains that his brother is 13 years old.

In his post he writes:

I need help. My brother cleaned my old Ps4 Slim. He didn’t do any research and opened it up. Cleaned it (not really because he has no tools) and put it back together. The problem: he didn’t screw it back in (it doesn’t seem to go in), so my question: does it matter? I think so, but he won’t listen and I don’t want the PS4 to get damaged.

What is this missing part? The metal plate is usually installed as a cover for the mainboard in the PS4. The part ensures that less dirt gets into the PS4 and that sensitive components on the mainboard are protected. The part also serves as a heat shield inside the console.

Under the post, many players recommend that he definitely reinstall the part. Otherwise, the PS4 will get dirty even faster than it already does.
