Frequently asked questions
Why does my Series S keep shutting off?
Almost always heat — dust clogs the cooling and old paste loses contact. A clean + repaste usually fixes it.
Is overheating going to damage my Series S?
Repeated thermal shutdowns stress the hardware over time, so it’s worth servicing sooner rather than later.
