Game console repair in Orange County, back in the game fast
HDMI ports, overheating, disc drives, power faults, controllers and liquid damage for PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. Free diagnostic, upfront quote, 1-year warranty on every console repair.
Every common console failure, fixed in-house
Console repairs are board-level work. We do them on our own bench, which keeps turnaround short and your saves intact.
PS5 HDMI Port Repair
No signal, flickering, or a loose port after a yank on the cable. We replace the HDMI port at the board level.
Overheating & Fan Service
Shutdowns mid-game, loud fans, hot exhaust. Full teardown, dust removal, fan check and thermal paste or liquid metal service.
Disc Drive Repair
Won’t accept or eject discs, grinding, unreadable games. Drive repair or replacement for PS5, PS4 and Xbox.
Power & No-Boot Faults
Dead console, blue light of death, boot loops. Power supply and board diagnostics, not a guess.
Nintendo Switch Repair
Cracked screens, charging port, Joy-Con drift, game card reader and dock issues on Switch, Lite and OLED.
Controller Repair
Stick drift, dead buttons, triggers, charging ports on DualSense, Xbox and Pro controllers.
Liquid Damage
Spilled on it? Don’t power it on. We clean the board, replace corroded parts and test every function.
Software & Storage
Corrupted system software, update loops, SSD or hard drive upgrades and replacements.
Don’t see your issue? Call us. If it plugs into a TV, we’ve probably fixed it.
Not sure what’s wrong? Bring it in or mail it in. Free diagnostic, quote before any work starts.
Pick the symptom. Here is what is usually going on.
No signal or a flickering HDMI picture?
On PS5 and Xbox the HDMI port is soldered to the main board, and one hard tug on the cable is enough to crack the joints. The console powers on, the light looks normal, and the TV says no signal.
HDMI port replacement is a same-week repair in most cases and costs far less than a new console.
Fans screaming, then a shutdown mid-game?
Dust packs the heatsink and the factory thermal compound dries out. The console protects itself by shutting down. Left alone, the heat shortens the life of the main chip.
A full clean and thermal service brings temperatures back to spec and quiets the fans.
Disc goes in and nothing happens, or it grinds?
Worn rollers, a failed laser or a misaligned drive mechanism. On PS5 the drive is paired to the board, so a swap is not plug-and-play, and we handle the pairing.
Drive repair keeps your console, your saves and your library exactly as they are.
Dead, blinking light, or stuck in a boot loop?
Power supply failure, a blown fuse on the board, or corrupted system software. The symptom looks the same from the outside, so we diagnose before we quote.
Free diagnostic. If it cannot be fixed, you do not pay.
