Dusk Kills: Why You Should Get Your Console Maintained Annually

Your gaming console is your gateway to immersive worlds and competitive battles, but like any electronic device, it requires regular maintenance to keep running at peak performance. Dust buildup, overheating, and general wear and tear can drastically reduce your console’s lifespan. At Gateway Games, we recommend getting your console serviced at least once a year to prevent these common issues.

The Dangers of Dust and Neglect

  • Overheating Issues: Dust clogs up your console’s cooling system, causing overheating and potential hardware failure.
  • Performance Drops: A dirty console may run slower, causing lag, crashes, and even permanent damage to internal components.
  • What Our Console Maintenance Service Includes:
  • Deep Internal Cleaning: We fully disassemble your console down to the last layers, removing built-up dust and debris that can lead to overheating.
  • Thermal Paste Replacement: Ensures your console stays cool and functions efficiently.
  • Thermal Pad Replacement (if needed): Helps maintain proper heat dissipation and prevents overheating.
  • Fan and Vent Inspection: Making sure your system is getting proper airflow.

Signs Your Console Needs Maintenance
