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. We repair the controllers too, not just the console itself — stick drift, broken buttons and triggers, and connectivity faults.

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
  • Controller buttons or triggers not registering
  • 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

$229

The 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.

Controller Repairs

Quoted after assessment

Stick drift, broken buttons and triggers, connectivity that drops out — bring the controller in on its own, no need to bring the console too. Assessed before any work is quoted, same as a console.

Other Console Repairs

Quoted after assessment

Disc drive faults, power problems and board-level work. Assessed before any work is quoted.

What the Work Looks Like

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.
