Playstation 5 overheating fixed – Other repair shop failed to resolve

A customer brought me a PlayStation 5 that was still overheating even after being serviced by another repair shop. If your PS5 suddenly shuts down, displays overheating warnings, or becomes too hot to use, you know how frustrating that can be. After paying for a repair, the last thing you want is to have the same problem continue.

During my inspection, I found that the power supply was packed with dust and debris that was restricting airflow. The heatsink also needed additional cleaning. Liquid metal, an important thermal compound for cooling in PS5’s, also checked and corrected. Once everything was properly cleaned and serviced, the overheating issue was resolved, and the console was running normally again.

If your PlayStation 5 is overheating, shutting down unexpectedly, or running hotter than it should, I can help get it back to operating the way it should.

Microsoft Extends Windows 10 Security Updates One More Year

Good news for Windows 10 users: Microsoft has officially extended free security updates until October 12, 2027. The previous cutoff was October 2026 — only a few months away — so this extra year gives everyone more breathing room. It’s a welcome change for households, small businesses, and anyone still running older hardware that isn’t ready for Windows 11.

This extension also buys time for organizations planning their migration strategy. But it raises a familiar question: will users actually upgrade, or will they keep their Windows 10 machines as long as possible? Many PCs still run perfectly fine, and plenty of people aren’t eager to replace hardware just to meet Windows 11’s requirements. Next fall will be interesting.

Are You Still Receiving Security Updates?

Not sure if your PC is enrolled in Extended Security Updates (ESU)? It’s easy to check.

  1. Open Settings

  2. Go to Windows Update

If you see a message saying “your device is no longer receiving security updates” along with an Enroll now link, that means your PC is not signed up for ESU. In that case, your computer is missing important monthly security patches.

Staying updated is critical — especially as Windows 10 enters its final years. If you rely on your PC daily, make sure it’s protected.
