Service Includes

Cleaning and thermal maintenance scope

Internal dust removal

Dust and debris are removed from accessible internal areas.

Fan cleaning and inspection

Fan area is cleaned and visually inspected where accessible.

Heatsink and vents

Heatsink, cooling path, and vent cleaning are performed as accessible.

Restricted airflow review

Cooling paths are inspected for dust buildup and restricted airflow.

TIM service

Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is inspected and serviced where required. Exact material differs by device.

Verification

Reassembly plus temperature or operational verification where practical.

TIM Variants

Thermal Interface Material differs by console

PS5 systems use a liquid-metal thermal interface that may receive inspection, redistribution, or replenishment where required. Liquid metal is not automatically replaced every time.

Other consoles use generalized factory TIM wording. Do not promise replacement of every thermal pad or compound unless technically required and included.

Service Boundaries

Cleaning does not fix every hardware fault

Broken fans, damaged heatsinks, liquid damage, board-level faults, power faults, severe corrosion, damaged connectors, and unrelated hardware failures may require separate repair work and an updated quote.
