Game console repairs
Cleaning, ports, drives and stick drift
Consoles live in dusty cabinets, run hot, and get moved around. Most of what comes in is thermal — fans choked with dust, dried thermal paste, and a machine that throttles or shuts down mid-game.
Sound familiar?
- Loud fans, running hot, shutting down during play
- No picture — often a damaged HDMI port
- Disc not reading or not loading
- Controller stick drift
- Won't power on
Pricing
Console cleaning & service
$79 – $149$79 is a blow-out — dust cleared with minimal disassembly, good for a console that's just getting noisy. $149 is the full job: stripped right down, cleaned properly, fresh thermal paste and rebuilt. If it's overheating or shutting down mid-game, it's the full one you want.
HDMI port replacement
$229The most common console repair going — one knock of the plug and the picture's gone. $229 where the board tracks are undamaged; track damage is quoted after inspection.

Where to bring it
Console repairs are carried out at Victoria Point. You can drop yours at Alexandra Hills and they'll book it through — you don't need to make the extra trip.
Stop it happening twice
We recommend a magnetic-tip HDMI cable to every customer who's had a port replaced. Next time the cable cops a knock, the magnetic tip pops off harmlessly instead of levering the port off the board — a few dollars of cable protecting a $229 repair.
Liquid damage and board work
Consoles that have had a drink aren't automatically finished. Ultrasonic cleaning lifts corrosion off the board that no amount of drying will fix, and it's saved machines that looked beyond it. Speed matters — corrosion keeps spreading after the device is dry.
