Our team diagnoses and services PS5 systems including the PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro, and we also support Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles. Whether you’re dealing with loud fan noise, random shutdowns, overheating, poor performance, or visible dust buildup, our technicians provide thorough, reliable service for gamers across Coquitlam and nearby communities like Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster and Maple Ridge.
PS5 Liquid Metal Replacement
One of the advanced services we offer is PS5 liquid metal replacement. Over time thermal paste and factory thermal interfaces can degrade, leading to higher temperatures and throttling. Liquid metal provides superior thermal conductivity for PS5 CPUs and GPUs compared to standard thermal paste when applied correctly. Our process includes full disassembly, safe cleaning of mounting surfaces, application of liquid metal under strict safety and insulation protocols, and thorough testing. We service PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro models, and advise when liquid metal is appropriate versus high-quality thermal paste based on age, symptoms, and usage patterns.
Console Cleaning and Dust Removal
Dust buildup is the most common cause of noise and overheating in gaming consoles. Our PS5 cleaning service Coquitlam covers internal dust removal, fan cleaning, and cleaning of heat sinks and vents. We use anti-static procedures and compressed air and vacuum systems designed for electronics to remove accumulated dust without pushing it further into the system. After cleaning, we inspect cooling paths and fans for damage and replace worn or noisy fans when necessary. Regular dust removal not only reduces loud fan noise but also prevents long-term performance issues and random shutdowns.
Console Overheating Repair
Overheating can show up as thermal throttling, FPS drops, graphical glitches, or sudden shutdowns. Our overheating repair workflow starts with temperature and performance diagnostics to identify whether the cause is dust, failing fans, degraded thermal interface material, or a deeper hardware fault. Common repairs include fan cleaning or replacement, reflowing or replacing thermal compounds, liquid metal replacement when appropriate, and addressing airflow blockages. We test consoles under load to verify temperatures and stability after repair so you can return to uninterrupted gaming in Coquitlam and neighboring cities.
Signs Your Console Needs Service
Watch for these clear signs your PS5 needs professional attention:
- Loud or unusual fan noise during light use
- System feels hot to the touch or vents are blowing very warm air
- Random shutdowns or reboots, especially under load
- Performance issues such as frame drops or stuttering
- Excessive dust visible in vents, ports, or on external surfaces
If you experience any of these symptoms in Coquitlam, Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster or Maple Ridge, bring your console in for a diagnostic. Our early intervention can prevent more expensive repairs down the line.
Why Thermal Management Matters
Thermal management is critical for maintaining optimal performance and lifespan of modern consoles. The PS5’s powerful CPU and GPU generate significant heat under sustained load. Proper thermal management includes clean airways, functioning fans, and effective thermal interface materials. Neglecting these can lead to thermal throttling — where the system deliberately reduces clock speeds to cool down — resulting in reduced performance and a degraded gaming experience. At Moe Repair we focus on effective thermal solutions: fan tuning, dust removal, and when necessary, careful liquid metal application to improve heat transfer and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my PS5 cleaned?
We recommend a basic external cleaning every 3 months if you game heavily, and an internal cleaning and inspection every 12 months. Homes with pets or smoking may require more frequent services due to faster dust and debris accumulation.
Is liquid metal safe for my PS5?
When applied by experienced technicians, liquid metal is safe and offers improved thermal performance. It requires careful masking and insulation to prevent short circuits. We only recommend liquid metal after a full diagnostic confirms it is appropriate for the unit.
Will cleaning fix random shutdowns?
Cleaning often resolves shutdowns caused by overheating due to dust and poor airflow. If shutdowns persist after cleaning, we perform further diagnostics to check for failing power components or board-level issues.
How long does a typical PS5 cleaning service take?
Basic cleaning and fan inspection can be completed the same day in many cases (usually 1-3 hours). More involved work, including liquid metal replacement or fan replacement, can take 1-3 business days depending on parts availability and workload.
Do you offer warranties on repairs?
Yes. We provide a warranty on parts and labor for repairs we complete. Warranty length varies by repair type—ask a technician for specific terms when you drop off your console.
Real Repair Example
Case: PS5 with persistent overheating and loud fan noise. A customer from Port Moody brought a PS5 that would heat up quickly and shut down during long sessions. Symptoms included loud, high-RPM fan noise, occasional random shutdowns, and reduced frame rates.
Diagnostic process: We began with external inspection and temperature logging during a controlled load test. Internal inspection revealed heavy dust buildup in the intake and heat sink fins, a slightly misaligned fan blade causing extra vibration, and dried thermal paste on the CPU/GPU contact surfaces.
Service performed: Full disassembly and anti-static cleaning removed dust from vents, fan assembly and heat sink. The damaged fan was replaced with a matched OEM-spec unit and the fan housing was realigned. We cleaned the CPU/GPU surfaces and, due to the age and symptoms of the unit, recommended a liquid metal replacement for improved thermal transfer. After careful masking and application of liquid metal, we reassembled the system, re-ran load tests, and verified stable temperatures, reduced fan RPM under the same load, and no further shutdowns.
Outcome: The PS5 returned to the customer from Port Moody with significantly quieter operation, stable performance under extended play, and a clear reduction in internal temperatures. The customer also received maintenance tips to prolong the console’s lifespan.
