Frequently asked questions
Why does my Switch overheat in the dock?
Docked play pushes the hardware harder, so a dust-clogged fan shows up there first; cleaning and re-pasting fixes it.
Can overheating damage the Switch?
Repeated thermal shutdowns stress the hardware, so clearing the cooling early helps protect it.
Is a Switch cleaning same-day?
Usually yes; we confirm timing when you bring it in.
