Game Console Repair in Columbus, Ohio

A PS5 with a crunched HDMI port isn't trash — it's an hour under the microscope. Console repairs are microsoldering jobs, and that's exactly what this bench does.

01 — What we repair

PlayStation, Xbox, Switch — and the controllers

PlayStation 5 / PS4: HDMI port replacement (the most common PS5 repair there is — one bad cable yank and the picture is gone), overheating and loud-fan cleanups with fresh thermal paste, disc drive issues, and no-power diagnosis. PS5 problems have their own page — HDMI ports, cleaning, drift, and pricing.

Xbox Series X / S and One: HDMI ports, overheating service, no-power board diagnosis.

Nintendo Switch: charging port replacement (a classic Switch failure), joy-con drift, cracked screens, and consoles that won't dock or won't charge.

Controllers: stick drift, unresponsive buttons, and charging problems on PS5, Xbox, and Pro controllers.

03 — Why here

Why a microsoldering bench matters for consoles

An HDMI port sits on the motherboard with dozens of tiny solder connections — replacing one properly takes hot air, a microscope, and a steady hand, which is why so many places quote weeks of mail-away time for it. Ours is done in-house, usually in a couple of days, and if the port tore board traces on its way out (it happens), we repair those too instead of calling the board dead.

04 — Questions

Frequently asked

My PS5 turns on but there's no picture. Is that the HDMI port?

Most of the time, yes — especially if the port looks loose, bent, or the cable has to sit "just right." We confirm it in diagnosis before you commit, since the same symptom can occasionally be the HDMI chip instead — which we also repair.

Will I lose my saves and games?

No. These repairs don't involve the storage drive — your games, saves, and accounts are untouched.

Do you fix water-damaged consoles?

Yes — a spilled drink is a board-level job, and the earlier it comes in, the better the odds.
