Each console family fails differently. Sony's PS5 has its own common issues, Microsoft's Xbox has different ones, Nintendo's Switch has the famous Joy-Con drift. Here's the per-platform breakdown.

  • Won't power on / blue light of death — APU, PMIC, or power supply. Board-level diagnostic identifies the actual cause. $140–$340.

FEATURED REPAIR

Joy-Con drift — $40 fix, walk-in friendly.

The Switch's analog stick module wears out. Once it does, your character starts walking on its own. Nintendo's "free repair" program is gone for most regions — we do it for $40 per Joy-Con (replacement module + recalibration). About 90% of the Joy-Cons we see come back to factory-spec responsiveness after the swap.

Standard analog replacement
$40 per Joy-Con · same-day · 90-day warranty
Hall-effect upgrade (permanent fix)
$80 per Joy-Con · uses magnetic sensors, no wear part · lifetime warranty on the stick
Both Joy-Cons (pair)
$70 standard / $150 hall-effect
03HDMI port replacement

The other most-common console repair.

Bent HDMI port (kid pulled the cable too hard), no signal to TV, flickering display. The HDMI socket is soldered to the motherboard on every modern console. Replacement requires desoldering the old one, prepping the pads, and resoldering a new HDMI socket.

We do this with proper rework stations and pre-tinned pads. Most competitors send these out to a third-party board shop. We do it in-house in 2–4 days.

PS4 / PS4 Pro — $120–$160
PS5 / PS5 Slim — $160–$220
Xbox One / Series — $120–$200
Switch (TV mode) — $90–$140
04Console repair FAQ

Real questions gamers ask us.

Why do Joy-Cons drift in the first place?

The analog stick module uses two potentiometers (variable resistors) to track stick position. They're consumer-grade and wear out from normal use after 100–500 hours of gameplay. It's a known design flaw. Nintendo's "free repair" program ended in most regions. The standard fix replaces the module with the same kind of part; the hall-effect upgrade replaces it with a magnetic-sensor module that doesn't wear out.

My PS5 says "no signal" on TV. Is the HDMI port broken?

Usually yes — the HDMI port is the most common PS5 hardware failure. Test with another HDMI cable and another TV first to rule out cable / TV issues. If the port itself is bent or loose, that's our $160–$220 repair. We do these in 2–4 days with new HDMI sockets and proper soldering.

Do you fix water-damaged consoles?

Yes — same approach as phones and laptops. Time-sensitive: bring it in fast, don't try to power it on. Disassembly + ultrasonic clean + corrosion check + component testing. Cost depends on how much corrosion has set in: $140 (caught in 24hrs) up to $400+ (multi-week corrosion).

Can you fix a console that won't read discs?

Yes. PS4/PS5 and Xbox disc drives are serviceable. Common issues: laser pickup gone (replaceable), drive belt slipped, disc tray motor failed, or a stuck object inside. We open the drive, identify the failure, and quote either a part replacement or a full drive swap.

Do you mod consoles or install jailbreaks?

No. We only repair consoles to factory functionality. We don't install homebrew, jailbreaks, modchips, or modified firmware. If you bring in a console that's already been modded and we discover that during diagnostic, we'll tell you and let you decide whether to proceed (often the mod is what caused the failure, and we'd need to address it before any other repair).

How long does a console repair take?

Joy-Con drift: same-day. Controller repairs: same-day or next-day. HDMI port: 2–4 days. Disc drive: 2–5 days. Liquid damage: 3–7 days. Board-level work: 4–7 days. We give an exact ETA at quote time.

Will my saved games / data be safe?

Yes. We don't touch the console's internal storage during physical repairs. Save data, downloaded games, accounts all stay intact. Recommended: use cloud save (PS Plus / Xbox Game Pass / Nintendo Switch Online) before bringing in if you're worried — standard practice for any service.

Do you repair retro consoles (NES, SNES, N64, etc.)?

Yes — we love retro work. Cleaning, capacitor refreshes, cartridge slot work, controller port repair, RGB mods (legitimate hardware mods, not piracy). Old consoles are 30+ years old now and most need at least a deep clean to work reliably. Quote per device.

05Bring it in

Walk in with the console. Walk out gaming again.

Drop off your console (or just the controller) at 120 Matheson Blvd East, Mississauga. We diagnose free. Joy-Con drift, controller repairs, and most HDMI swaps are same-day or next-day. Got a 2008 Wii? Bring it — we love retro work.
