PS4 / PS3 mail-in service

Give your PS4 or PS3 a new lease of life.

A decade or more of dust is why older PlayStations roar, overheat and shut down mid-game. Heat is also what eventually kills them — a full strip-down, deep clean and fresh thermal paste keeps the temperature down and the console alive.

Common questions

My PS3 is really loud — will this fix it?

Almost always, yes. Loud PS3s are nearly always choked with dust with paste that dried out years ago. After a deep clean and repaste the fan no longer has to run flat out. If the fan itself is worn, we'll tell you before doing anything extra.

Is it worth servicing a console this old?

If you still play it, absolutely. Heat-related failure is what ends these consoles, and a service costs a fraction of tracking down a good second-hand replacement — especially for backwards-compatible PS3s.

What if you find something else wrong inside?

We stop and email you with photos and a price before doing any work beyond the service you booked. Nothing happens without your go-ahead.
