Why check for dust?
Dust can build up around ventilation openings. Keeping them clear gives the cooling system the room it needs. Maintenance costs $49; ask the store about the scope for your model and its condition.
More noise does not always mean a fault
PlayStation explains that the PS5 fan can run faster and sound louder during some games. A persistent change, temperature warnings or unexpected shutdowns need inspection. Cleaning is not a guaranteed fix for every power or temperature problem.
Maintenance for PlayStation and Xbox
Choose PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Series S or Xbox One in the quote tool. We can help if you do not know the model. Tell us whether you want dust maintenance or whether the console already has a fault; these are not necessarily the same service.
Ventilation between visits
Keep the console in a ventilated area and do not cover its vents. For PS5, Sony recommends at least 10 cm of space around each side and avoiding confined spaces. Check the manufacturer instructions for your model before cleaning, and turn off and unplug the console. That clearance is not a universal Xbox specification.
What the price covers and what needs a quote
Console maintenance costs $49, with an estimated turnaround of 24 hours and a one-year warranty. Fan replacement, board repair and thermal material replacement are not included by default. If there is another fault, diagnosis is free and its repair price is provided before work begins.
Frequently asked questions
Does maintenance cost $49?
Yes, that is the maintenance price. The store confirms the scope for your console. Additional faults are quoted separately.
Will cleaning fix a console that shuts down?
That cannot be confirmed without inspection. Shutdowns may require a diagnosis separate from maintenance.
Does it include thermal paste or liquid metal?
Thermal material replacement is not automatically included in the advertised price. Check the scope with the store before authorizing additional work.
