Just as a warning, don't use your hoover extension or anything, they can cause a lot of static and fry circuitboards. Same with the static in a duster. Also, don't you void your warranty by taking that part off the original PS4?

Turn it off at the mains, UK plugs ground the device so leave it plugged in. Hoover along the vents or use a hoover attachment with the plastic brush on the end. If you do open it up, can of compressed air or microfibre cloth. Best bet is just to keep the area around it clean by dusting the shelves or whatever every couple of days. If the area its in is clean, it won't draw as much dust in through the fans.

You do.....if you do it in the warranty period, my warranty expired so it was no biggy.

 

I used an anti-static brush and cloth to clean mine out, tipped any loose dust on the floor and hoovered up afterwards.

It's still really annoying that trophies don't sync unless you view them.

 

While at work, I fancied browsing through the HZD trophies I've gotten since Saturday, but the game doesn't even show up in the PS app, since I haven't opened the trophy screen on my PS4 yet. Couldn't it at least sync once when you turn the PS4 on?

 

Actually, maybe it does, I very rarely turn it off fully...

Do you not unlug and press/hold power for a bit(tbh can do it plugged in if turned off tho) to discharge any capacitors? I'd recommend to anyone opening up anything electrical just in case there's still some charge hiding in there! Unexpected shocks can be quite shocking!

Last night while watching Netflix I went to turn on my controller to pause the show for a minute...long story short neither of my PS4 controllers will connect to the console even while plugged in and charging.

 

No time to troubleshoot today though so maybe tomorrow :/

This has happened to me - only way to fix it was hard power off the PS4 by holding down the power button until the beep. Then they worked fine to start it up.

 

This seems to have happened after waking up from a system resume.
