Common Console Problems We Fix in Avondale

Most console faults are repairable, and many don't need a replacement. These are the issues we see most often:

• No picture or HDMI problems: a damaged or loose HDMI port is one of the most common console faults, especially on PS5, PS4 and Xbox. We replace the port instead of sending you off to buy a new console.
• Overheating and loud fans: dust build-up and dried thermal paste cause shutdowns and jet-engine noise. We clean, re-paste and test under load.
• Won't turn on or keeps turning itself off: we diagnose power supply, power button and motherboard faults.
• Disc drive won't read or eject: we repair or replace disc drives on PS5, PS4, Xbox One and Series X.
• Controller faults: stick drift, sticky buttons and charging problems on PlayStation, Xbox and Switch controllers and Joy-Cons.
• Nintendo Switch issues: cracked screens, charging port faults, dock problems and Joy-Con drift on Switch, Switch Lite and OLED.
• Handheld PCs: Steam Deck and ROG Ally screen, battery, charging and stick repairs.
• Storage and software faults: blue-light or boot-loop errors, corrupted systems, and SSD or hard drive upgrades.
