M.2 SSD Install & System OS Restore
PLAYSTATION 5
📦 Safe postal shipping across Switzerland – Workshop located in Fribourg
The PS5's system software runs on the internal SSD storage. If a power outage occurs during an update, system files can corrupt, locking the console in Safe Mode.
Also, games are huge. The PS5 provides a dedicated M.2 NVMe slot for expanding storage capacity.
At FixPlay, we install your SSD correctly (with required heatsink) or restore the OS system clean.

How does the repair work?
Drop-off or Ship
Bring your console to our Fribourg workshop or send it by secure post from anywhere in Switzerland.
Lab Diagnosis
Our technicians perform tests and inspect the board under professional stereomicroscopes.
Micro-Soldering
We replace the faulty component using micro-soldering and clean the surrounding circuits.
Quality Control
Complete testing (video signal, charge, thermals) before returning or shipping your console.
Heatsink Requirement
Extreme thermals
PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs get extremely hot under load. Without a heatsink, the SSD throttles performance or gets damaged.
Our mounting service
We mount heatsinks correctly with high-performance thermal tape, ensuring full speed stability.
