What does your console need?
Find the problem and book it in. You pick your exact model on the next step.
Make room for it
Signs to look for
- "Not enough storage" on every download
- Deleting games to fit new ones in
Big open-world games need a lot of space, and a launch PS5 has around 667GB usable. An M.2 SSD in the expansion slot means installing GTA 6 without deleting everything else. Xbox Series X|S storage expands with a plug-in card you can fit yourself.
Keep it cool for long sessions
Signs to look for
- Fan roaring a few minutes in
- Shuts itself down mid-game
- Throttles once it warms up
Launch week means long sessions, and a console with clogged heatsinks or tired thermal compound gets loud, throttles or shuts down. A strip-down clean puts that right. On a PS5 we check the liquid metal and reapply it with the board masked — it conducts electricity, which is why it is not a kitchen-table job.
Check the picture
Signs to look for
- Picture drops when the cable is touched
- Sound but no picture
That is the HDMI port on its way out. We micro-solder a new one in-house, and it is far better fixed before launch than in the middle of it.
Fix the drift
Signs to look for
- Camera creeps with nobody touching it
- Stick misses or sticks
A drifting stick is a worn module, not a worn-out controller, and it is a quick repair compared with buying a new pad — especially an Edge or an Elite.
Dead or switching off?
Signs to look for
- Beeps and shuts off
- Stuck on a blue light
- Nothing at all
Get it diagnosed now. Power supply and board faults take longer than a clean, so these are the ones to book first.
