He then instructed PS5 owners to use a handheld vacuum to suck up dust and not use a spray duster can.
Spray duster cans should not be used because they push the dirt further into the console while the vacuum prevents that.
Next, you want to take off the covers to get inside the console and clean it.
It is also important to remember where each screw goes when removing them.
This is because each screw is a different size and it is easy to mix them up.
He also recommends using a pair of needle nose pliers when removing the PS5 cooling fan as it is not a good idea to use your hands.
