Whether you live in Coquitlam or nearby Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster or Maple Ridge, our experienced technicians provide thorough cleaning and repair services for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro.

PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
Although this page focuses on Xbox Series X cleaning service Coquitlam, we also perform advanced PS5 services including liquid metal replacement on PS5 and PS5 Pro units. Liquid metal is used to dramatically improve thermal conductivity between the CPU/GPU and heatsink, but it must be applied correctly to avoid short circuits. Our certified technicians handle the entire replacement process: safe removal of the old TIM, precision application of liquid metal, verification of insulating clearances, and thermal testing under load. This service is particularly beneficial for owners experiencing thermal throttling or frequent overheating after extended use.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is the number one culprit behind loud fan noise, poor thermal performance, and random shutdowns. For Xbox Series X cleaning service Coquitlam we follow a methodical approach: external cleaning, safe disassembly, compressed-air dust removal using ESD-safe tools, targeted fan cleaning, heatsink and vent brushing, and reassembly with fresh thermal pads when needed. We also clean optical drives and internal ports to restore proper airflow and reduce electrical shorts caused by conductive dust.
Console Overheating Repair
Overheating issues often present as sudden shutdowns, freezing, degraded frame rates or persistent loud fan activity. Our overheating repair includes thermal profiling, stress testing, checking fan RPM consistency, inspecting solder joints, and thermal interface materials. For Xbox Series X customers in Coquitlam we replace failing fans, reapply thermal paste, and correct blocked airflow paths. If your PS5 or PS5 Slim is overheating we recommend an inspection that may lead to fan cleaning, dust removal, or liquid metal replacement depending on severity.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
- Loud or unusual fan noise while idle or under light load
- Elevated operating temperatures or hot case surfaces
- Random shutdowns during gameplay or while streaming
- Reduced performance and stuttering during intensive games
- Visible dust coming from vents or around ports
If you notice any of the above on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5, PS5 Slim or PS5 Pro, bring it to our Coquitlam shop for a full diagnostic. We serve nearby areas including Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Maple Ridge.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Thermal management determines the longevity and reliability of gaming consoles. Good thermal design reduces throttling, maintains consistent frame rates and minimizes hardware stress. Over time, thermal paste dries, dust accumulates, and fan bearings wear — all leading to higher operating temperatures. Our technicians at Moe Repair use thermal imaging and temperature logging to ensure your Xbox Series X or PS5 maintains proper thermal profiles. Proper cleaning and maintenance can extend the life of your console and prevent costly PCB or power supply damage.

Real Repair Example
Case: A PS5 from a customer in Port Moody arrived with severe overheating symptoms — frequent thermal throttle messages, loud high-pitched fan noise, and intermittent shutdowns during 30–60 minute gaming sessions. Diagnostic process: we ran a thermal log while reproducing the load, inspected the cooling assembly and fan bearings, and removed the dust-clogged intake filters and heatsink fins. Findings: heavy dust crust around the fan and heatsink, degraded thermal paste, and minor corrosion on one thermal pad surface. Repair steps: complete disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning of fan bearings, compressed-air dust removal of the heatsink, full removal of old thermal paste, and a controlled liquid metal inspection to determine whether a full liquid metal replacement was necessary. In this case the CPU/GPU TIM had not yet reached the level that mandated liquid metal; instead we applied a high-quality thermal paste and replaced the most degraded thermal pads. Outcome: after reassembly and a 90-minute stress test the PS5 temperatures dropped by 12–18°C under load, fan noise returned to normal thresholds, and there were no further shutdowns during extended gameplay. The customer from Port Moody reported improved sustained frame rates and quieter operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my Xbox Series X cleaned?
We recommend a professional cleaning every 12–18 months for typical home environments, or more frequently if you have pets, smoke indoors, or keep the console on the floor. If you notice loud fan noise or higher than normal temperatures, bring it in sooner.
Do you offer liquid metal replacement for PS5 in Coquitlam?
Yes. We offer PS5 liquid metal replacement and inspection services at our Coquitlam shop. Liquid metal improves heat transfer but must be applied by an experienced technician to avoid risks. We also perform thermal profiling before and after the replacement.
Can dust buildup cause permanent damage to consoles?
Yes. Long-term dust buildup can cause overheating that leads to thermal stress on chips and solder joints, and in extreme cases it can damage power delivery components. Regular cleaning reduces this risk and prolongs console life.
What’s the difference between fan cleaning and a fan replacement?
Fan cleaning removes dust and lubricates bearings if possible, which often restores normal operation. If the fan bearings are worn or the motor is failing, we recommend a fan replacement. We diagnose and recommend the appropriate action during the inspection.
