Precision Bench Repairs for PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Consoles

When a console suffers a bent HDMI pin, black screen output, overheating shutdown, or damaged charging port, you don't need to buy an expensive replacement system or wait weeks shipping it off to a factory center. We provide specialized, local bench repairs for modern gaming systems right here in Mt. Pleasant.

Every console brought to our shop undergoes an immediate intake power-on test to verify its status before any work begins. If your console turns on and displays standard status lights, we proceed directly with our flat-rate port or thermal service. If a system exhibits no power, boot-looping, or unknown failure symptoms, it enters our structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA) diagnostic workflow.

What We Handle on Our Console Repair Bench

Component-level hardware maintenance, thermal service, and modular replacements for modern gaming systems.
HDMI Port & Display Output Replacements
Crushed pins, loose cables, or "No Signal" display messages are the most frequent console failures we fix. Using high-frequency hot-air rework stations, microscopic inspection, and premium flux, we desolder the damaged connector and bond a fresh OEM-spec port directly to the motherboard.
Nintendo Switch USB-C & Power Circuit Repair
If your Switch won't charge, dock to the TV, or turn on, the dense double-row USB-C port is often damaged. We replace the physical port and inspect the surrounding power delivery rails to ensure full handheld and TV dock functionality.

The Nintendo Switch fundamentally integrates charging and display output together, because of this, if diagnostic testing reveals underlying power chip damage (such as a blown BQ24193 charging IC or M92T36 power management chip), we will provide an updated repair estimate before proceeding.
Deep Thermal Overheating Service & PS5 Liquid Metal Maintenance
Overheating leads to loud fan noise, thermal throttling, and sudden game crashes. Our $110 deep thermal service includes a complete teardown, heatsink cleaning, and fresh high-grade thermal compound.

Liquid metal on the PlayStation 5 APU oxidizes and migrates over time, creating dry spots that cause rapid overheating. During PS5 repairs, we meticulously clean the oxidation and oxide barrier, surface-prep the copper heatsink die, and evenly respread the factory liquid metal. We avoid unnecessarily stripping away good liquid metal to eliminate chemical waste and prevent dangerous spill risks.
Disc Drives, Wi-Fi, Storage & System Software
We service failing optical disc drives (jammed rollers and laser lens swaps), replace faulty Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules, upgrade internal mechanical hard drives to fast SSDs, and resolve corrupted system firmware update loops.
Stick Drift & Controller Repair
We offer premium Hall Effect joystick upgrades and replacements. Unlike traditional analog potentiometers that wear down, generate graphite dust, and inevitably suffer from stick drift over time, magnetic Hall Effect sensors use contactless sensors to measure position. Upgrading your controller to Hall Effect sticks eliminates mechanical wear entirely, delivering permanent drift-free precision and smooth analog response for the life of your pad.

While we service specialized or high-value Pro Controllers, standard wireless controller analog stick replacements often cost more in bench labor than buying a new controller. We recommend replacing standard controllers unless there is personal or sentimental value worth preserving!
Our Console Warranty & Board Repair Transparency

  • 1-Year Workmanship Warranty: We stand behind our bench soldering 100%. If a repair fails due to an issue with our soldering, alignment, or technical workmanship, we cover the full repair under our 1-year shop warranty. (Note: Warranties cover workmanship defects and do not cover new physical damage, yanked cables, drops, or liquid spills).

  • Board Trace Diagnostics: If an HDMI or USB-C port was ripped off the motherboard during a drop, the delicate copper circuit traces underneath may be torn. Because board traces can only be visually inspected once the damaged port is removed under a microscope, we will contact you immediately with a trace repair estimate (+$20 per trace) if damage is found.

Flat-Rate Console Repair Services & Upfront Pricing

We believe in complete pricing transparency for common hardware repairs:

Service Category Flat-Rate Pricing What Is Included
Standard Console HDMI Port $130 Micro-soldering HDMI port replacement for PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
PlayStation 5 HDMI Port $140 High-temp HDMI port replacement plus specialized liquid metal oxidation cleaning and respreading.
Nintendo Switch USB-C Port $140 Precision USB-C port replacement for Nintendo Switch (Standard, Lite, and OLED models).
Deep Thermal Cleaning & Repaste $110 Complete internal teardown, dust removal, and fresh thermal compound application.
Trace Restoration (If Damaged) +$20 per trace Rebuilding severed copper circuit pads/traces under optical magnification if a port was ripped off the board.

What Happens If Your Console Repair Changes Scope or Needs Additional Parts?

During flat-rate repairs—such as replacing an HDMI port or USB-C connector—underlying board damage like torn circuit traces or shorted management ICs (like the Nintendo Switch M92/BQ chips) can only be uncovered after the damaged port is removed under microscopic inspection. If your repair requires additional work beyond the original flat rate, we will pause immediately and present an updated repair estimate for your approval before proceeding.

If you decide to decline the updated scope of work, you have two flexible options:

  • Zero-Cost Donor Surrender: You can choose to leave the console with us to be recycled or used for donor parts on future repairs, and you will owe $0.

  • Reassembly for Pickup: If you prefer to have the console reassembled and returned to you, our standard $50 solder bench minimum applies to cover the microscopic diagnosis, hot-air board prep, and reassembly labor. (Note: This reassembly policy applies exclusively to flat-rate port services that change scope; consoles entering our standard RCA diagnostic workflow follow standard diagnostic bench terms).

Please note: Once a damaged port has been desoldered from a circuit board, the console cannot be restored to the exact physical condition in which it arrived.

Game Console Repair FAQ

1How long does a console HDMI port repair take?
Standard HDMI port replacements are typically completed within 2 business days. We stock common HDMI ports for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch right in our shop to keep turnaround times fast.
2What happens if my console has "No Power" when I bring it in?
During intake, we plug in every console to verify its power-on status. If the console turns on and holds a steady status light, it proceeds directly to flat-rate port replacement. If it has no power or shuts off immediately, it is moved to our Root Cause Analysis (RCA) diagnostic workflow so we can pinpoint the power rail or board failure before quoting repairs.
3Why is the PS5 HDMI port repair slightly higher in cost?
The PlayStation 5 utilizes a liquid metal thermal interface on the main processor rather than standard thermal paste. Servicing a PS5 requires specialized handling to safely isolate, clean, and respread the liquid metal without causing short circuits on surrounding board components, alongside replacing the high-density HDMI port.
4Can you fix torn circuit pads if my HDMI port was ripped off the board?
Yes! If a port was forcibly ripped out and pulled copper circuit pads off the motherboard, we reconstruct those severed traces under optical magnification using fine jumper wire and UV-cured solder mask for $20 per repaired trace.
5Do you fix Nintendo Switch consoles that won't charge or turn on?
Yes. Charging failures on the Switch are usually caused by a damaged USB-C port or a shorted charging control IC (BQ or M92 chip). We inspect the port and power chips under our microscope to restore full charging and TV docking capability.
