Common Console Problems We Fix

1. No picture or HDMI problems. A bent, loose or burnt HDMI port is one of the most common console faults, and it is usually repairable without replacing the console.
2. Console won't turn on. Could be a power supply, internal power board or port fault. We test before we recommend anything, so you only pay to fix what is actually broken.
3. Overheating and sudden shutdowns. Loud fans, hot air and random power-offs are warning signs. We diagnose the cause and fix it, so the console isn't pushed until something fails.
4. Disc drive won't read or eject. Games that won't load, discs that get stuck or grinding noises usually point to a drive mechanism or lens fault.
5. Joy-Con drift and controller faults. Characters moving on their own is annoying and costly if you keep replacing controllers. Many drifting sticks can be repaired for far less than a new controller.
6. Charging port and battery faults (Switch and handhelds). If your Switch only charges at a certain angle or loses battery fast, the charging port or battery is the likely cause.
