Thermal paste service for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch in Lerum — technician applying paste on heatsink
Cleaning and thermal paste for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 — from SEK 999 in Lerum.

Why console overheating matters

Modern consoles pack powerful chips into tight cases. Dust and dried paste cause thermal throttling — lower resolution, lag spikes, loud fans and sudden shutdowns.

Long-term heat wears solder joints and shortens console life. Many people wait until games crash daily — by then the issue has often been building for months.

Switch and PlayStation need different teardown methods. Wrong tools or paste can damage the chassis or screen. We use the right process for each model.

Professional cleaning and thermal paste replacement

We identify the model, open safely, clean the fan and heatsink, and apply quality thermal paste suited to the console.

Then we load-test (games or stress) and check fan noise, temperature and stability. If a fan or other part is needed, you get a quote first.

The goal is a cooler, quieter, more reliable console — starting at SEK 999 for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2.
