Experience the ultimate in rejuvenation with our Xbox One S Recondition Repair Service!
Say goodbye to overheating issues as we thoroughly clean and refresh your console. Our expert technicians will remove all dust and grime, clean the fan, and renew thermal paste for the ultimate gaming experience.
This is the internal service
Heat is an inside problem, so this is an inside job. Your Xbox One S is opened up and stripped down to the cooling assembly. We clear the packed dust out of the heatsink fins and off the fan blades, then scrape the dried-out thermal paste off the processor and apply fresh paste. Dried paste stops moving heat into the heatsink, which is why a console that is spotless on the outside can still run hot and loud.
This is not a cosmetic clean. If it is the outside of your Xbox One S that bothers you, the shell, the vent slats, the port surrounds and the panels a cloth will not shift, that is a different service: our Console Ultrasonic Exterior Deep Clean, where the outer panels come off and go into an ultrasonic tank. There is no thermal work in that one. Order both and we do them in the same visit, one turnaround.
Don't let overheating hold you back from taking risks and pushing the limits - let us handle it for you.
About this repair
An overheating Xbox One S is almost always an inside problem: dust packed into the heatsink and fan, and a worn thermal paste layer between the processor and the heatsink. We strip it down to the cooling assembly, clear the dust and renew the thermal paste for £49.99. Typical repair time is 2-3 hours once it is on our bench. The service is covered by our 12-month repair warranty.

What causes it

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a clean on the outside enough to stop my Xbox One S overheating?
Usually not. The dust that causes overheating sits inside on the heatsink fins and fan, and the thermal paste is under the heatsink, so the console has to be opened up to fix it.
What if the fan itself is faulty?
A fan that rattles, grinds or will not spin up needs replacing rather than cleaning. That is a separate service and we tell you before doing anything extra.
How often should a Xbox One S have this done?
There is no fixed schedule. Dust build-up depends on the room, pets and how much the console is used. If it is getting louder or hotter than it used to, it is due.
How long will the repair take?
We aim to complete repairs as safely and as soon as possible, however note it can take up to 3-5 days or longer depending on parts availability. When we're busy, a repair or upgrade can be delayed by up to 7-10 working days - we do everything we can to avoid that and keep you updated.
How do I send my console in?
As soon as you have completed your order we will send you a confirmation email. In the UK that includes your prepaid tracked label (if you chose one at checkout) - a QR code to use at your local Post Office. Outside the UK we send our workshop address and shipping instructions so you can post your console in. Once repaired, we ship it back to you tracked at no charge - UK and international.
Is there a warranty?
We offer a 12 month warranty on all repairs carried out at OG Repairs.
Can you repair a modified console?
Yes, let's see what's possible.
Do you send proof of the repair?
Yes - we send photos and a before/after video showing the fault fixed, so you can be confident in the work before your device is even back in your hands.
Can I drop it off in person?
Yes - book a drop-off at our London workshop (Unit 9, Hatcham Road, London, SE15 1TR); visits are by appointment. Console repairs are a UK-only service, so mail-in is available from anywhere in the UK.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major cards, plus Klarna, Clearpay, Apple Pay and Google Pay - so you can spread the cost with interest-free instalments.
