PlayStation 5 Slim: Is there a Bluetooth antenna?

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 21:34:15 -0700

Hello! Looking to upgrade the antenna for the Bluetooth (better controller range when ps5 is stored inside a rack).

Wondering if the blue and white cable shown in the teardown video is the Bluetooth antenna

Thank you

PlayStation 5 Slim: Fan Whine has made a return.

Sat, 06 Jul 2024 02:05:49 -0700

Hey all!

I purchased a PS5 slim as a second console for my office. Unfortunately, there is a very high pitched whine resonating from the fan when starting up a game, which progressively gets louder after playing. (The console is in open space, with no vents covered).

I have taken the panel off and can see that the fan is the NMB variant. I was wondering if anybody knows of the best place to source a replacement fan? Seeing as Sony doesn't want to know.

All the best,
Liam

PlayStation 5 Slim: PS5 Slim won't turn on after electrical surge/lightning strike

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 05:17:12 -0700

My PlayStation 5 Slim was connected to a wall outlet when a power surge occurred (lightning/electrical strike). Now the console shows no signs of life—no lights, no beeps, and it won't power on even with a different cable and outlet.

Is this likely a blown fuse in the internal power supply, or is it common for the motherboard to be damaged in these scenarios? Are there any specific test points on the PS5 Slim power supply to check for voltage?

PlayStation 5 Slim: Slim shows no lights, but the fan turns on?

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 10:47:46 -0700

I bought a broken ps5 slim recently that had a solid blue light for about 2 seconds before turning off. The fan ran for a second but no picture or anything. I took it apart, cleaned it, and tested the power supply which runs just fine. I figured it likely had something to do with the motherboard and just put it back together since I don’t have the tools for anything involved with that. Now I plugged it in and it shows no lights or beeps or anything, but the fan still turns on for a second. Not only that, but it only gets some power from the power cord once. I have to unplug the cord and plug it back each time I try to turn it on. I’m not sure what’s wrong or if I made the issue worse? Should I just take it to a shop at this point or can I still do something?

My ps5 won't detect any wifi connections, instead ethernet is required but wifi is more convenient and reliable for me due to when using ethernet the connection will randomly disconnect and reconnect

PlayStation 5 Slim: Where can I find a replacement fan for the PS5 slim?

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 11:22:57 -0700

Hi,

My PS5 slim fan started making a very annoying rattling noise (kind of like telegraph boops). I've had it for a few years now and it's definitely out of warranty.

I thought I'd check out iFixit and there's a great tutorial on how to replace the fan. I have all the tools necessary to do the work, but I need a new fan. And that's where the troubles begin.

The US iFixit has the part available to order, but not the canadian one (there's very little on the canadian one in general... why? Maybe that should be a separate post). The canadian sony store also doesn't offer any replacement parts. I'd rather not order from sketchy amazon or ali express merchants or unreliable quality.

Is there a trustworthy place I can order a new fan from in Canada?

Thanks.
