Deep cleaning & preventive care

Clear dust, grime and residue from consoles, handhelds and controllers, with careful cleaning around vents, contacts and moving parts.

Cleaning can include disassembly, shell and button cleaning, dust removal from fans and heatsinks, and inspection of accessible contacts and battery compartments. The approach depends on the materials and condition of the hardware. Tell us about sticky controls, visible residue, corrosion or unusual noise. If inspection reveals damaged parts or a fault needing repair, we discuss that work separately. Cleaning alone is not a diagnosis for shutdowns or overheating.

What happens next

  1. Tell Texas Board Works your hardware model, its condition and the result you want. For homebrew or modding, include the firmware version and any existing modifications.
  2. Confirm the proposed work, price and shipping instructions before sending your hardware.
  3. Create a Texas Board Works account when submitting your repair to track your device and communicate with the repair team.

This listing describes a service for hardware you own. Ready-to-play consoles are available separately in the shop.
