Console repair · Courtice
PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch all get repaired here, in-house, on the same bench. The jobs we see most are HDMI ports that lost the picture to the TV, disc drives that grind or won't read, consoles overheating and shutting off mid-game, and Joy-Con or controller stick drift. Bring the console in and we diagnose it for free before any work starts, so you know what's actually wrong before you spend a dollar. On stick drift we replace the analog stick module (the proper fix), not a clean that drifts again next month.
Most console repairs are back to you in two to three days once the part's in, and we text you the moment it's ready. Game console repairs are handled at our Courtice store at 2 Glenabbey Dr, Unit 5. It's one bench, no mail-out and no second location. Customers drive in from Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby and across Durham Region, most of them fifteen minutes away. If a repair isn't worth doing on your console, we tell you straight instead of charging for it.

Pricing & warranty
Pricing depends on model, part, and damage, free diagnosis and a clear quote before any work.
Same-day service on many common repairs when parts are in stock.
90-day warranty, parts and labour. Covers defects in the part and our workmanship, not new accidental damage.
Yes, broken HDMI ports are one of the most common repairs we do. We desolder the damaged port and install a new one. Turn-around is usually 2–3 days; bring the console, controller and power cable.
We replace the analog stick module, the proper fix. Pricing depends on Joy-Con generation; diagnosis is free and we quote before any work.
Sometimes, we open, ultrasonic-clean the board, and see what survived. Like all liquid damage work, it's no-fix / no-fee, if we can't bring it back you don't pay.
We don't modify consoles to install custom firmware, but if you've bought a used console and want to put it back to factory we can help.
90 days on console repairs. Doesn't cover new physical damage or further drops.
We most commonly see PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch systems. If you have a different console, contact us with the model and issue and we'll let you know if we can help.
Simple repairs like some HDMI or power-related issues may be completed within a few days, depending on parts availability and workload. Overheating and more complex board-level problems may require extra time for testing under load.
In many cases, yes. Dust buildup, old thermal paste, and blocked airflow are common causes. We can clean the system internally, refresh thermal paste, and check fans and sensors.
For most repairs, just the console is enough. If you're having problems with controllers, a specific game, or a cable, you can bring those too so we can test everything together.
Data is usually stored on the internal drive or memory. In some cases we can move or clone drives, but not all situations are recoverable, especially with severe damage. We tell you what's realistically possible for your specific model.
If the console is still under the manufacturer's warranty, opening it or having it repaired by a third party may affect that warranty. If you're unsure, check your warranty status first. For out-of-warranty systems, third-party repair is usually the only practical option.
Game console repairs are handled at our Courtice store at 2 Glenabbey Dr, Unit 5. We're one Courtice bench serving customers from Oshawa, Bowmanville, Whitby and across Durham Region: no second location and no mail-out.
