Common Console Problems We Fix

Console turns on but there is no picture. A damaged HDMI port is one of the most common console faults, especially after cables are knocked or pulled. We replace the port at board level where possible, so you keep your console and your saved games.

Console overheating, shutting down or sounding like a jet engine. Dust, dried thermal paste and a worn fan cause most overheating faults. We open the console, replace the thermal paste and fit a new fan if needed.

Disc will not read or will not eject. We repair or replace faulty disc drives and clear jammed discs without damaging them.

Console will not power on. A dead console may be a power supply fault, a failed component or a board fault. We test properly and quote the actual fix, not a guess.

Joy-Con drift and controller faults. If your character keeps walking by itself, a thumbstick sensor repair brings the controller back at a fraction of the price of a new one.

Cracked screens, dead batteries and broken charging ports. Switch, Switch Lite, Switch OLED and Steam Deck units are all repaired in-house.

Boot loops, error codes and storage faults. We diagnose software and storage faults and can replace drives and restore systems.

Add these under the heading "Gaming Console Repair Stanwell Tops: Frequently Asked Questions" at the bottom of the page.

Do you repair gaming consoles in Stanwell Tops?

How far is the nearest PCC Computers store from Stanwell Tops?

Our Wollongong CBD store at 132 Keira Street is around 30 minutes' drive from Stanwell Tops via Lawrence Hargrave Drive and the Princes Highway. 

Can you collect my console from Stanwell Tops?

Yes. We can arrange courier pickup and return so you do not have to travel. Call (02) 4231 4570 or send a quote request, and we will confirm the cost and timing for your address.

How much does a console repair cost?

The price depends on your console model and the fault. An HDMI port repair, a fan and thermal paste service and a Joy-Con drift repair all cost different amounts. We diagnose the fault first and give you a quote, so you approve the cost before we repair anything.

How long does a console repair take?

It depends on the fault and on parts availability. A fan replacement is usually quicker than a board-level repair. We give you an estimated timeframe with your quote.

Can you fix a PS5 or Xbox with no picture or a broken HDMI port?

Yes. HDMI port damage is a common cause of no picture on PS5, PS4 and Xbox consoles. We test the console to confirm the port is the fault, then replace it rather than replacing the whole console.

Why is my console overheating and shutting down?

Blocked vents, dust build-up, dried thermal paste and a failing fan are the usual causes. Keep the console in an open, ventilated space. If it keeps shutting down or the fan is loud, we can replace the thermal paste and fit a new fan.

Can you repair Joy-Con drift on my Nintendo Switch?

Yes. Drift is caused by a worn thumbstick sensor. We replace the faulty part so the controller tracks properly again, which is often cheaper than buying a new controller.

Will I lose my saved games if I send my console in?

We take care to protect your save data and do not delete it as part of a normal repair. Some faults, such as storage failures, can put data at risk, so back up to your console's cloud save service before sending it in if you can.

Do you repair consoles bought overseas or out of warranty?

We repair consoles regardless of where they were bought, and we can help once the manufacturer warranty has ended. If your console is still under warranty, check with the manufacturer first, because opening it may affect your coverage.
