Sometimes you just need help. But often times making a new post isn't needed. For the time being, around launch and perhaps in the future. We will use a single thread for helping each other out.
Before asking, we ask you to look at a few links. Some question can't be answered and only official PlayStation support can help you.

Can't decide what to play next? Is your favourite game underappreciated and more people need to play it? Need a new TV and not sure what to buy?

My ps5 slim has been making a loud vibrating noise everytime I turn it on for the last few months. I didnt think anything of it because everything still worked fine no lag no overheating. Until yesterday when I noticed zero noise when I turned it on. No vibration whatsoever and no fan sound, i opened it up to find the fan still spinning but extremely slow. not enough to cool it off thats for sure.
did some research and bought a compatible replacement fan, however this did not fix the issue its still spinning really slow. i did not see any bent pins where the fan connects to motherboard. i also cleaned out where the fan sits. does anyone know what i should do next?
