Common questions
My PS5 has no picture but turns on. Is the HDMI port shot?
Usually yes if there's no signal at all and the console boots normally. We test by HDMI capture to confirm before opening the unit. Port replacement is the fix and is a soldering job, not a swap.
Are joy-con stick replacements permanent?
Stock Nintendo sticks drift again over time. We offer Hall-effect stick modules as an upgrade. Those don't drift the same way. Costs a little more, lasts much longer.
My console overheats. Just blow it out?
Compressed air pushes dust deeper. A real fix is opening the unit, removing the fan and heatsink, replacing thermal paste and pads, and verifying temps under load. Then it runs quiet and cool.
Will I lose saves?
Standard repair never touches storage. We do recommend syncing cloud saves before drop-off as belt-and-suspenders.
PS5 disc drive doesn't read. Replacement?
Drives are paired to the motherboard since the PS5. Replacing it requires re-pairing through a Sony service tool. We have the gear and the process. Don't trust shops that just swap the drive without the pair step.
Do you work on retro consoles?
Yes for cleaning, AV mod, capacitor work on Genesis / SNES / N64 / OG Xbox. Region modding and HDMI mods are case by case.
How long is the warranty on console repairs?
Parts carry a 90-day warranty against defect. Drop, water, or further damage after repair is not covered, but we usually offer a re-repair discount.
