Hot and noisy
Fan screaming, console shutting down mid-game, performance dropping. Internal cleaning, fresh thermal paste and new thermal pads.
Consoles
PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, handhelds and retro
Home consoles, handhelds and machines from another era. We open them, clean them and get them running like the first day — including the ones nobody else will touch.
How deep we go
We open the pad piece by piece
Scroll: the DualSense turns and comes apart. We work on every one of these — drift included, which is the number one fault.

What comes through the door every day
What we repair on consoles
From the PS5 that roars like a hairdryer to the Game Boy from the cupboard. If it is not on the list, ask anyway.
HDMI port
Black screen, picture coming and going, the cable has to be held at an angle. The connector is desoldered and replaced: microscope work.
Disc drive
Will not read discs, spits them out, grinding noises. We replace the laser or the mechanism.
Will not turn on
Blinking light, error beeps, dead power supply, shuts down after a few seconds.
Controllers and drift
The character walks on its own, buttons not responding, soft triggers, a battery that no longer holds.
Nintendo Switch
Joy-Con drift, charging port, broken screen, will not sit in the dock, fan and cooling.
Handhelds
Steam Deck, ROG Ally, PSP, Vita, 3DS: screens, sticks, batteries, connectors and cooling.
Retro consoles
We recondition older machines: capacitors, cleaning the contacts, video output, dead save batteries.
Storage
Extra SSD, replacing the internal drive, moving saves and your library across without losing anything.
How we work
Opened, cleaned and put back together properly
A console that runs hot is not fixed with a can of compressed air. It gets opened, the heatsink comes off, the dust packed between the fins comes out, the thermal paste is redone and the thermal pads are replaced — the part almost nobody changes, and almost always the reason it starts running hot again a month later.
Then it goes back under load, not just switched on: if it will not hold a demanding game for half an hour, it does not leave the workshop.

Model and symptom are enough to start. If it needs opening we tell you first, with the price.
