How to take care of PS5 so that it is not easy to damage
As an electronic item, any sophisticated PlayStation 5 can be damaged if it is not cared for properly. Therefore, as wise gamers, you should start paying more attention to the PS5 you have. Not just good at playing it.
PS5 is designed in such a sophisticated way to minimize various types of damage that may come. That’s why Sony did RnD or Research and Development for years.
But in order to stay durable in use for a long period of time, a PS5 must be cared for so that it continues to run as smoothly as when you first bought it. Especially if you play games on the PlayStation 5 almost every day.
Although we can use a PS5 warranty claim to a Sony Indonesia repair center, it’s not always my friend who will continue to rely on the Service Center. Because one day the warranty may expire.
Therefore, set aside a little time to do some of the following PS5 care tips:
1. Maintain Temperature
Excessive heat or overheating is often the main problem for the majority of electronic goods such as TVs, Smartphones, Laptops, Computers, including the PS5.
Moreover, the advanced specifications of the PS5 have a CPU and GPU engine that are almost equivalent to a Gaming PC wrapped in a minimalist black and white color box, so it seems very natural if one time the temperature increases until it gets hot in the engine.
To avoid overheating, it is not recommended to store the PS5 in a glass case or closed wooden cabinet. When played, the machine will have difficulty dissipating hot air so it stays around and is not good for your PlayStation 5.
Use a special PS5 buffer or deck, basically, give space above, below and on the left/right side of your PS5 machine, its function is to make air circulation smoother.
Also, don’t place any items on top of the PlayStation 5 machine if you put it in a horizontal position. Also pay attention to the cables around, the neater the better, don’t pile up cables too.
2. Cleaning Dust
From the days of the PS1 to today’s PS5, dust has been a major enemy that must be overcome as quickly as possible. Because the dust that enters the machine, besides being difficult to remove, it can also be the cause of a number of PlayStation components not working properly.
Buddy, just gently clean the dust that sticks around the PS5 using a soft cloth & special cleaning fluid for electronic items such as cellphones.
Dust that is cleaned can help the PS5 air circulation better. Also pay attention to the air vents where you play & store the PS5, it’s a good idea to open the window when playing during the day.
3. Replace the Pasta If Needed
Like PS3 and PS4, as well as PC, my friend must be diligent in changing the PS5 paste. The machine will automatically produce heat which is fairly reasonable & normal every time your PlayStation 5 is used to play games.
4. Pay attention to the placement of the PS5
We all know that the PS5 can be placed in a vertical (standing) or horizontal (sleeping/sideways) position, it all depends on the user’s taste or according to the available space in each place.
Place your PS5 in any position as long as the place is slightly open, meaning a flat and wide surface, for example on a table. On the left and right there are no other items, it is not recommended to store the PS5 on a carpet, mattress, pillow or made of cloth / soft because it will hinder air circulation.
5. Minimize the Use of Physical Keys
Maybe some of you are used to turning on and off the PS5 by pressing the physical button on this PlayStation 5 machine.
