Most customers drop off and pick up same-day at our Laval, Montreal, or Vaudreuil-Dorion shops. Disassembly is the slow part.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>Will I lose my saves or eShop games?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">No \u2014 thermal service doesn&#8217;t touch storage. All saves, downloaded games, and eShop content stay completely intact.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>How often should I get thermal service?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Every 2-3 years for typical use. Sooner if you live in a dusty environment, have pets, or game heavily. Compressed air through the vents helps in between but isn&#8217;t a substitute.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>What thermal paste do you use?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">High-quality compounds \u2014 Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Noctua NT-H2, or equivalent. We don&#8217;t use cheap pastes that dry out in months.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>My Switch shuts down during games \u2014 is it overheating?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Almost certainly. Free diagnostic confirms by monitoring temps. SoC thermal protection triggers around 95\u00b0C \u2014 needs immediate service to prevent damage.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>Can I just blow out the dust with compressed air?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">It helps for a few weeks, but doesn&#8217;t address degraded thermal paste \u2014 the root cause of most overheating. Real fix requires opening the console and replacing the compound.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>Is this the same as Joy-Con cleaning?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">No \u2014 that&#8217;s a separate service inside the Joy-Con controllers. This is for the main Switch console&#8217;s cooling system.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>Will fans still be noisy after service?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">No \u2014 properly serviced Switches run quieter than new consoles. If the fan itself is damaged (bearing worn), we replace it. Either way, it gets quiet again.<\/div><\/details>\n<details class=\"njfq\"><summary>Where can I get this repair done in Greater Montreal?<\/summary><div class=\"ans\">Three locations: <a href=\"https:\/\/buycellfix.ca\/nintendo-switch-repair-laval\/\">Laval (1112 Cur\u00e9-Labelle)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/buycellfix.ca\/nintendo-switch-repair-montreal\/\">Montreal (5275 Queen Mary Rd)<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buycellfix.ca\/nintendo-switch-repair-vaudreuil-dorion\/\">Vaudreuil-Dorion (318 Sylvain-Leli\u00e8vre)<\/a>.
