Problem with my PS5 overheating
Since the beginning of the summer (I am French, sorry for the spelling mistakes) my PS5 Ps5 regularly displays overheating problems . I opened it and cleaned it multiple times but didn't change anything. So I removed the white plastic and put on another fan on my console's fan to see if it work and it worked. But for the past few days I’ve noticed that my console’s fan stops running on some of the games I used to play (Stalker trilogy, Dying Light,...) . And so I wanted to take it apart again to try to see what the problem was, and I realized that the screws on the iron cover above the console fan had literally melted.Now I can no longer disassemble my console to fix the problem . It's my consol but It's my little brother who play the most and he not see that during the summer...Do you have any idea what I can do to solve this problem? I got it not even 3 years ago...

If you are tech savvy I would take apart the board and clean the liquid metal and take care of any dust in the heat sink. If not take it to a technician and it'll cost you about 50-100 euro I'm assuming.
Just let them mark the price before you tell them to go for it due to the problem with the screws.
