Console repairs we do every week
Not sure what's wrong? Tell us what it's doing and we'll work it out. These are the faults we see most.
HDMI port replacement
No picture, flickering or "no signal" on the TV. Usually a damaged HDMI port, which we replace with microsoldering.
Overheating & loud fans
Shutting down mid-game or sounding like a jet engine. We strip, deep clean, replace thermal paste and repair or replace fans.
No power
Dead, clicking or turning off straight away. We test the power supply and board to find the real cause.
Disc drive faults
Discs not reading, not ejecting or making grinding noises on PlayStation and Xbox.
Motherboard repair
Board-level faults, damaged components and liquid damage, diagnosed and repaired under the microscope.
Storage & software
Hard drive and SSD replacement, upgrades, consoles stuck on boot or in safe mode, and update errors.
Controller repairs
Sticky or dead buttons, broken triggers, charging ports and batteries on DualSense, DualShock, Xbox and Joy-Con controllers.
Switch screens & batteries
Cracked screens, dead batteries, worn Joy-Con rails and USB-C charging ports that won't charge or dock.
Ports & power sockets
Damaged USB ports and power sockets that are loose, burnt or won't take the lead any more.
No picture? It's usually the HDMI port
A tripped-over cable or a console moved while it's still plugged in can bend or snap the pins inside the HDMI port. The result is no picture, a flickering picture or a distorted one.
Fixing it properly means removing the old port from the motherboard and soldering a new one in place. It takes a microscope, a fine-tip iron and a steady hand, and not every repair shop offers it. We do it in-house in Taunton.
Diagnose
We check the port, the pins and the HDMI chip under the microscope, so we know it's the port and not something else.
Remove the old port
The damaged port is carefully desoldered without harming the pads or nearby components.
Fit a new port
A new HDMI port is soldered onto the board and every pin is checked.
Test
We test picture and sound on a TV before you collect it, and the repair is covered for life.

Console repair questions
Can't see your question? Call or message us on 07724 615400.
How long does a console repair take?
It depends on the fault. Simple jobs like a clean and new thermal paste are quicker than board-level work such as HDMI port replacement. We'll give you a turnaround time when we quote.
How much does a console repair cost?
Every console and fault is different, so we give you an exact price before any work starts. Quotes are free, and if we can't fix it you don't pay for the repair.
Will I lose my games and saved progress?
Most repairs, including HDMI ports, cleaning and fans, don't touch your storage, so your games and saves stay as they are. If a repair involves the hard drive or SSD, we'll tell you first. Turning on cloud saves before you drop it off is always a good idea.
What should I bring with my console?
Just the console for most repairs. For power, charging or display faults, bring the power lead too. For Switch dock problems, bring the dock and its leads.
Is it worth repairing my console?
Usually, yes. Most common faults cost far less to fix than buying a new console, and repairing it keeps it out of landfill. If a repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you honestly.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Our repairs come with a lifetime warranty on the parts we fit and the work we do. See our lifetime warranty page for details.
Do you repair retro consoles?
Yes. We repair older consoles like the Super Nintendo, N64, Mega Drive and early PlayStations, including power supplies, capacitors and worn connectors.
