When your PS5 stops sending a picture, your Xbox shuts down mid-match or your Switch drifts in every game, you want it fixed properly and fast. PCC Computers repairs PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles for gamers in Bombo and across the Kiama area, with easy courier pickup and drop-off so you never need to leave the house.

Bombo has no walk-in repair shop of its own. We solve that by collecting your console from your door, repairing it in our Illawarra workshop and returning it tested. Prefer to hand it over in person? Our Stockland Shellharbour and Wollongong stores are open to walk-ins.

Call PCC Computers on (02) 4201 4055 or request a console repair quote online. 

Common console problems we fix for Bombo gamers

Most console faults come down to a handful of causes. These are the repairs we see most often:

• No picture or HDMI problems. A bent, loose or broken HDMI port is one of the most common PS5, PS4 and Xbox faults. We replace the port and test the video and audio output.
• Overheating and loud fans. Dust, dried thermal paste and blocked vents make consoles throttle, restart or shut down. We clean the internals, renew thermal paste and fix fan faults.
• Console won't turn on. Power supply faults, blown components and failed power buttons all produce a dead console. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix.
• Disc drive not reading or ejecting. Games that won't load or discs that jam point to a drive or laser fault.
• Controller drift and button faults. Stick drift, sticky buttons and dropped connections on PlayStation, Xbox and Switch controllers.
• Switch and Switch Lite problems. Charging port faults, battery issues, cracked screens and Joy-Con drift.
• Storage and software errors. Error codes, failed updates, boot loops and drives that stop being recognised.

Fault-specific repairs. We repair the actual fault, whether that is a port, a fan, a power supply or a drive, rather than swapping the whole console and hoping.

Tested and backed. Every console is tested before it comes back to you, and repairs carry a [WARRANTY PERIOD] warranty. [confirm]

How our console repair process works

1. Tell us the problem. Call us or send the details online: console model, what it is doing and any error messages.
2. Send it in. Book a courier pickup from Bombo, or drop it at Stockland Shellharbour or Wollongong.
3. A technician opens the console, finds the fault and checks for related damage.
4. Quote and approval. You get the cause, the repair and the price. Nothing proceeds without your go-ahead.
5. Repair and testing. We fix the fault and run the console through video, audio, power, disc and controller tests.
6. Collect it in store or have it delivered back to your door in Bombo.

Before you send your console, remove any disc, unplug accessories and, if you can, note your account details. Do not factory-reset it unless we ask, because that can erase saved data.

FAQs 

1. Do you offer gaming console repair in Bombo?

Yes. PCC Computers repairs PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles for Bombo customers. We collect your console by courier, repair it at our Illawarra workshop and return it to your door, or you can drop it in at our Stockland Shellharbour or Wollongong store.

3. Can you fix a PS5 HDMI port?

Yes. A damaged or loose HDMI port is one of the most common PS5 faults. We replace the port and test video and audio output before the console is returned to you.

4. Why is my console overheating or shutting off?

Often, yes. Power supply faults, failed components and damaged power buttons can usually be repaired once the fault is diagnosed. We find the cause first, then quote the repair.

6. How much does gaming console repair in Bombo cost?

The price depends on your console and the fault. A port or fan repair costs less than a motherboard-level fault. We quote after diagnosis and do not start repair work until you approve it.

7. How long does a console repair take?

Turnaround depends on the fault and on parts availability. We give you an estimate with your quote. If you use courier pickup, allow extra time for transit each way.

8. Do you offer pickup and drop-off from Bombo?

Yes. Bombo has no walk-in PCC store, so we offer courier collection and return across the Kiama area. Ask for pickup when you book your repair.
