What’s included

  • Disc drive repair for consoles that won’t read, grind, or eject a stuck disc
  • HDMI port and power supply repair for consoles that won’t display or power on
  • Controller port and connection repair
  • Overheating diagnosis and fan or cooling repair
  • Older and retro console repair, from cartridge systems to early disc-based consoles

Common problems

A console that grinds, won’t read a disc, or ejects one it just took usually has a worn drive belt or a laser lens that’s drifted out of alignment — the same category of fault that shows up in VCRs and DVD players, and just as fixable.

A console that won’t display anything, or only intermittently, is often the HDMI port itself rather than the whole board. It’s a common failure point and a repairable one.

Older, retro systems bring their own issues — degraded capacitors, yellowed plastics, and connectors that have simply worn out from age. They’re handled with the same care as anything currently on shelves.

What it costs

Most console repairs are affordable relative to replacing the system outright, especially drive and port repairs. Call or email with what the console is doing and you’ll get a straight read on cost before committing.
