🎮 Is your PS5 or Xbox ready for GTA 6?

Big game releases can push consoles hard, especially if dust, ageing thermal paste or restricted airflow is already causing higher temperatures.

At Dead or Alive Technology, we offer console overheating servicing including deep cleaning and thermal re-pasting/liquid metal to help reduce excessive fan noise, heat build-up and shutdowns.

Don’t wait until launch week to find out your console is struggling.

⚠️ Still using Windows 10?

Windows 10 is now end of life, which means no more regular security updates — but your PC will still keep running, making it easy to ignore.

We can check whether your computer can upgrade to Windows 11, whether TPM/Secure Boot just needs enabling, or whether it’s time to look at better options.

Don’t leave your PC exposed.

Microsoft stopped security updates for Windows 10 in October 2025. Here's what that means for your safety, how to check in 60 seconds whether your PC can run Windows 11, and your options if it can't.

🎮 Console overheating this summer?

Loud fan? Random shutdowns? Hot vents? Lagging mid-game?

Your PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch may need a proper internal clean and thermal service before the heat causes bigger issues.

Give your console a summer MOT and keep it running cooler, quieter and smoother.

Warm weather is when consoles start to roar, stutter and shut down. Here's why heat is a console's worst enemy, the warning signs to watch for, and how a service — the MOT your console never knew it needed — keeps it cool, quiet and fast.

🔧🎮 Another Busy Week in the Workshop! 🎮🔧

Last week was a busy one here at Dead or Alive Technology, with a steady stream of gaming console repairs coming through our workshop.

✅ Xbox Series X HDMI Port Replacements
✅ PlayStation 5 HDMI Port Replacements
✅ PS5 DualSense Stick Drift Repairs
✅ Xbox Controller TMR Joystick Upgrades & Replacements

HDMI port damage remains one of the most common console faults we see, often caused by accidental cable movement or damaged HDMI leads. Our microsoldering specialists can professionally replace damaged ports and get your console back in the game.

We're also seeing increasing demand for TMR (Tunnel MagnetoResistance) joystick upgrades, providing a more durable and accurate alternative to traditional analogue sticks and helping eliminate stick drift issues.

If your Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Gaming PC, or controller isn't performing as it should, our experienced repair technicians are here to help.

iPad Screen Repair Done Properly – Not Just a Quick Fix

This iPad came into us with a badly cracked front glass and a bent chassis — a common issue when the impact has been strong enough to distort the frame.

In this case, simply replacing the glass wouldn’t have been enough.
If the frame isn’t corrected, the new screen can sit incorrectly, lift, or even crack again.

✅ What we did:

Full assessment of the damage
Carefully straightened the chassis
Installed a new glass/digitiser
Completed full testing to ensure everything is working as it should

The result — a clean, solid repair that’s built to last 👍

💡 Why this matters:
A lot of cheaper repairs skip the frame correction step.
That often leads to:

screens lifting
touch issues
repeat damage

We focus on fixing the problem properly, not just making it look better temporarily.

📍 Based in Wishaw – covering Motherwell, Hamilton, Bellshill, Coatbridge, Airdrie & across the Central Belt
📦 UK-wide postal repairs also available

If your iPad is cracked, bent, or not working as it should:

👉 Message us to arrange a diagnostic
👉 Or drop it into the workshop
