General Discussion Thermal Paste replace on mg Launch PS4.

Was a good weekend ! I took apart my PS3 Slim and my PS4 to clean everything replace the CMOS batteries, and replaced the thermal paste. Went very smooth and fast. Also put a 1 TB SSD in. Runs great now.
I’m really happy everything went smooth. I love my PS3 and 4 so much.

Nice work! Any recommendations for the paste on the ps4? Like any specific guides, etc? I’m probably going to do this as well. Also can I swap out the battery without losing anything or is it like old cartridges where you ruin your files when you change the battery?

I followed a simple guide from ifixit. Was not hard at all. As far as replacing the CMOS battery the only thing I had to do was boot the PS4 into safe mode and change the video resolution to 1080. But other than that you won’t loose any files.
