    I was asking about my ps3 and its shitty performance at a retro games store and they had an electronics repair guy that said it probably just needed to be repasted/thermal pads replaced, and quoted $90 for doing it. Makes me want to get into that myself because I already had mine open to clean dust out and though it was kinda stressful, it was also fun and rewarding, and the stress generally comes from the uncertainty.

      I’ve done this and once you know the procedure it’s easy money. You can even sell up for ‘premium’ thermal compound and full dust removal.
