Console Repairs

A dead console is no fun when the kids are home or you have finally got a night to yourself. PS5, Xbox, Switch, whatever has stopped working, I work with a trusted console repair specialist so you get board-level know-how, genuine parts and a warranty on the job, usually turned around in a day or two. No call-out fee anywhere on Stretton, and same-day is often possible on common faults.

PlayStation repairs

PS5, PS4 and PS3, from the everyday faults to the ones other shops turn away:

  • HDMI port replacement for a console that powers on but shows nothing on the TV. One of the most common PS5 faults.
  • Blue light of death diagnosed and repaired, not just reset and handed back.
  • Disc drive and laser repair for read errors and drives that will not take a disc, across PS5, PS4 and PS3.
  • Overheating and fan noise sorted with a proper clean and fresh thermal paste, so it stops shutting down mid-game.
  • Power and motherboard faults, including no-power diagnostics and component-level board repair.
  • Controller repairs for DualSense and DualShock charging ports and stick drift.

Xbox repairs

Series X and S, Xbox One and the older 360:

  • HDMI and retimer IC repairs for display and signal problems on Series X and S.
  • Green screen of death diagnosed and fixed for good, not patched.
  • Red ring of death on the 360, the classic fault, done properly.
  • Disc tray and drive repair for read errors across every Xbox generation.
  • Overheating cleared with a full cooling service.
  • Connectivity fixes for wi-fi, USB ports and controller pairing.

Power surges, liquid spills and motherboard failures that get written off elsewhere are worth a look. With micro-soldering and proper diagnostic gear, a lot of "unrepairable" consoles come back to life.

Nintendo Switch, Wii and DS repairs

  • Joy-Con drift repaired, the fault nearly every Switch owner hits eventually.
  • Charging port damage fixed with a USB-C port replacement.
  • Screen replacement for cracked LCD and OLED displays.
  • Battery replacement for a Switch that will not hold charge.
  • Game card slot repair for cartridges that will not read.
  • Dock and HDMI issues so it plays on the TV again.
  • Kickstand and rail repair for wobbly Joy-Con connections.
  • Overheating cleaned out and sorted.

Tell me the console and what it is doing and I will give you a price before any work starts. Send me the details for a quote or call 0477 319 160. If it is a laptop or PC rather than a console, see my laptop repairs and hardware repair pages.
