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, overheating and loud-fan inspection, disc drive issues, and no-power diagnosis. No-picture symptoms can have more than one cause; diagnosis establishes the repair needed. PS5 problems have their own page — HDMI faults, inspection pricing, and service details.

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. Our port work is handled in-house, with timing confirmed after diagnosis, 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?

These repairs normally do not require erasing storage, but data preservation cannot be guaranteed. Back up supported saves if possible before service.

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.

Choosing the right console repair

No picture, no charge, and no power are different faults

For a PlayStation or Xbox with no picture, tell us whether the console powers on, whether the display reports no signal, and whether another HDMI cable and display input have been tried. Visible port damage is useful information, but the symptom alone does not establish that replacing the port will fix it. See our PS5 HDMI repair pricing and diagnosis for PlayStation 5 display faults.

For a Switch, include whether it charges in handheld mode, displays through the dock, or has visible USB-C damage. For controller drift, identify the controller and which stick or button is affected. These details help separate an accessory problem from work on the console itself.

Call or text the console model and symptoms before bringing equipment. Mention previous repairs and liquid exposure. If the device works, back up supported saves before service; repair does not guarantee preservation of data. Board-level diagnosis is available when the fault goes beyond a connector.

Arrange intake before bringing a device

Call or text your model and symptoms. Wait for confirmed availability and handover instructions; there is no public walk-in location. Read the intake steps, evaluation and warranty details, and privacy information.
