What's actually going on

The cause

Displaced liquid metal or a heatsink choked with dust. The PS5 ships with liquid metal, not paste.

How we fix it

Full cleaning and liquid-metal reapplication. It's conductive, so this is a job for someone who's done it before.

How much it costs

It depends on the model and on what we find inside, so we quote each repair individually. The diagnosis fee depends on the device, and you approve the exact repair price before any repair starts. If it can't be fixed, you only pay the diagnosis.
