What We Diagnose and Repair

Different failures can look alike from the outside. Here is what we check when investigating this specific type of problem.

PS5 Internal Cleaning — $120 + GST

Dust removal, cooling-path and fan inspection, and model-appropriate thermal maintenance. The PlayStation 5 APU uses liquid metal; ordinary CPU paste is not substituted where liquid metal is required.

Xbox Series X Cleaning — $140 + GST

Internal dust and airflow cleaning, fan check and appropriate thermal-paste service with operating verification after reassembly.

Fan Noise and Overheating Diagnosis

We assess blocked vents, overheating messages, noisy fans and unexpected power-offs. Other electrical faults can mimic a cooling problem.

Clear Test and Repair Scope

We test console operation after approved work. Faulty fans, damaged boards, physical damage and unusual thermal repairs are quoted separately.

Signs This Service May Be Needed

  • Console fan is unusually loud under routine gaming load
  • PS5 or Xbox displays an overheating warning
  • Console shuts off or slows down after gaming for a while
  • Air vents and grille are visibly clogged with dust
  • A console was previously opened and cooling performance worsened

Before bringing the device in

Keep the console in a well-ventilated location and avoid blocking its vents. Turn it off if overheating warnings or unexpected power-offs occur. Do not attempt to replace PS5 liquid metal with ordinary thermal paste.
