Consoles live in warm cabinets and pull in dust for years, and most of the faults we see come back to heat. A full strip-down, clean and re-paste quietly fixes a surprising number of crashing and shutdown problems.
HDMI port and power faults need board-level soldering, which we do in-house rather than sending your console away.

FAQ
Gaming Console Repair Questions
My console is loud and keeps shutting down.
That is nearly always dust and dried-out thermal paste. A strip-down, clean and re-paste usually brings both the noise and the temperature right back down.
Can you fix a broken HDMI port?
Yes. A damaged HDMI port is a board-level soldering job, which we do in-house. Bring the console in for an assessment.
Do you repair controller stick drift?
Yes, for PlayStation, Xbox and Switch Joy-Cons. Drift is a worn analogue module, and replacing it is usually far cheaper than a new controller.
