When your PS5 shows a black screen, your Xbox shuts itself off mid-game or your Switch stops charging, you want it fixed by someone who can actually look at it. PCC Computers Australia repairs PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles for gamers in Coniston and across the Illawarra. Drop your console in at our Wollongong store, get a diagnosis and find out exactly what is wrong, with no postage, no courier wait and no call-out fee.
PS5 and PS4 Repair for Coniston Gamers
PlayStation consoles are our most common repair, and most faults are well understood. We repair PS5 and PS4 consoles that will not power on, show no signal, shut down without warning, run loud and hot, or have a damaged HDMI port. A black screen on a PS5 is very often a worn or bent HDMI port rather than a dead console, and that is a repair worth making. If your PlayStation is blinking a light and refusing to start, bring it in. We test the power path, the board and the port before recommending anything.
Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One Repair
Xbox consoles tend to fail in different ways, and we treat them accordingly. We diagnose Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One consoles that will not turn on, lose power after a few minutes, throw error codes at start-up or overheat during long sessions. Many of these faults come down to the power supply, the internal fans or dust blocking the airflow, and a proper clean and thermal service often brings a struggling console back to life. Where the fault is on the board, we tell you plainly what the repair involves.
Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED Repair
The Switch lives in bags, cars and on couches, so it takes a beating. We repair cracked screens, charging port faults, consoles that will not hold a charge, dock problems and joy-con drift on the Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED. If your Switch charges only when the cable is held at an angle, the port is almost certainly worn, and replacing it is quicker and cheaper than most people expect.
HDMI Port, Power and Overheating Faults
Most console faults fall into three groups, and they are the repairs we do every week. HDMI port damage causes a black screen, a flickering picture or a cable that will not sit firmly. Power faults mean the console will not start, or starts and then cuts out. Overheating shows up as loud fans, sudden shutdowns and performance drops, usually after years of dust building up around the heatsink. Each of these is repairable in most consoles, and we explain which one you have before any work begins.
Controller Repair and Stick Drift
A controller that moves your character on its own is more than annoying, it costs you matches. We repair stick drift, worn analogue sticks, sticky or unresponsive buttons and charging problems on PlayStation, Xbox and Switch controllers. Because we keep common parts in stock, many controller repairs can be done quickly instead of waiting on a mail-in service.
Disc Drive, Storage and Software Faults
If your console will not read discs, ejects games or makes grinding noises, bring in the console and the disc that is giving you trouble. On the PS5 the disc drive is paired to the console, so a drive swap is not always straightforward, and we explain the realistic options honestly. We also deal with consoles that are stuck in a boot loop, refuse to update or show storage errors. Where we can, we protect your saved games and settings throughout.

We stock common console parts, and we are one of the few Illawarra repairers with serious gaming hardware experience, from consoles to custom gaming PCs.

Gaming Console Repair Coniston: Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a PS5 that has no picture or a damaged HDMI port?
Yes. A black screen, a flickering picture or a loose HDMI port is one of the most common PlayStation faults we see. We inspect the port, the board and the cable path, and then replace or repair the port where the console is a good candidate for repair. Bring it to our Wollongong store and we will tell you what is wrong, usually before you leave.
How much does gaming console repair cost in Coniston?
The price depends on the console and the fault. A cleaning and thermal service sits at the lower end, and a port replacement or board-level repair costs more. Diagnostics are , so you get a clear quote for your exact console before you decide anything.
Do I have to post my console or wait for a call-out?
No. We are a walk-in store, so you drop your console in and talk to the technician face to face. You avoid mail-in turnaround, courier risk and call-out fees, and Coniston is a short drive from our Keira Street shop.
Which consoles do you repair?
We repair PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite and Switch OLED, as well as the controllers that go with them. Older consoles are assessed case by case, depending on whether parts are available.
Can you fix my PS5 disc drive?
Often, yes, but it depends on the fault. PS5 disc drives are paired to the console, so a straight swap is not always possible, and we will explain the options honestly. Many disc problems turn out to be a dirty or misaligned drive, or a fault elsewhere on the board, rather than a failed drive.
Is it worth repairing my console or should I replace it?
We give you a straight answer. If the repair costs more than the console is worth, we say so. For most common faults, such as HDMI ports, overheating, stick drift and charging problems, repair is the cheaper and quicker option, and it keeps your saved data and setup intact.
Will I lose my games and saves?
Most repairs do not touch your storage, so your games and saves stay where they are. If a fault could put your data at risk, we tell you before we start. Backing up your cloud saves beforehand is always sensible.
What are your opening hours?
Our Wollongong store at 132 Keira Street is open Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. We are closed on Sundays.
