We repair consoles for gamers in Cringila, Warrawong, Port Kembla, Berkeley, Lake Heights and across the Wollongong area.

Common Console Problems We Fix

Most console faults fall into a few groups, and most of them are repairable.

• No power or random shutdowns: failed power supply, damaged DC jack or a motherboard fault.
• Overheating and loud fans: dust build-up and dried-out thermal paste. This is one of the most common causes of PS5 and PS4 crashes.
• No picture or no signal: a bent or damaged HDMI port, a faulty cable or a video chip fault.
• Disc drive problems: discs not reading, not ejecting, or making grinding noises.
• Controller faults: stick drift, sticky buttons, charging problems and connection drops.
• Slow loading and storage errors: failing hard drives and SSDs, or corrupted system software.
• Physical damage: liquid spills, drops, cracked casings and broken ports.

Controllers, Upgrades and Accessories
