What do console repair services include?

The game console repair service includes all the tasks necessary to make a non-working or malfunctioning game console work as intended. To repair popular consoles like the PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch, your console repairman can do troubleshooting followed by the needed repairs. After completing the repairs, they can test the system to ensure the console is back to its original working order. 

Troubleshooting the problem 

Your console repair specialist begins by inspecting the different functions and components of your gaming console. They may also check each game disc for dirt or scratches if reading or loading errors occur. Your specialist inspects the cables, controllers, connection ports for issues. The monitor or TV and the Wi-Fi are checked as appropriate for any video, audio or connectivity problems. Once the problem is found, your console repair specialist works on the necessary fixes.  

Checking connections

Your console repairman checks all the connections that lead to and from the gaming console. This includes the HDMI cables, the HDMI ports on both the TV or monitor and the console, the power plugs and the controller ports. Your specialist can also check your internet for connectivity problems and do the appropriate fixes. 

Cleaning the internal parts

Defective gaming consoles can trace some of their problems to issues with heat management. The cooling fan usually causes this, along with the heat sink and other internal parts choked with dirt and debris. 

Your console repair specialist disconnects the console, shuts off the power and opens your game console’s case. They then clean the fan, heat sink, hard disk if any, and other parts with a non-static brush or blast from a can of compressed air. The case is reassembled once all the cleaning is done.

Rewiring the console and controllers

Some issues on your gaming console or its parts may be due to wires that have snapped or got cut from excessive bending. Your console repair specialist can check the wires on the controllers, HDMI cable or other connecting cables, and the power cable. Should any cut wires be discovered, your specialist can install new wires and splice or solder new connections.  

Replacing the non-working components

Any parts that no longer work on your consoles, such as the cooling fan on your PS4 or Xbox or the PS4 hard disk can be replaced if necessary. Note that your specialist may not have the replacement parts ready, so you must purchase these. Some specialists may offer to go to the console repair store to get these parts for you for a small additional fee.  

Testing the game console after repair

After your hired repair specialist has applied the fixes, they can test the console. They can check that the game loads up and works, both controllers function and respond as they should, and the video, audio and internet connectivity work as expected. If any issues arise, your repair specialist repeats the diagnostic and repair process until the console works without any problems.

Reconnect 12V wire in a party game Werribee

$95

Werribee VIC, Australia

19th Jan 2024

I have an unusual party game which is 240V called Mega Wire. Uncommon, but uncomplicated. It transforms into 12volt, where a thin cable/wire runs through the metal frame top, to set off the digital alarm - loser- if the players hand held ring touches the metal course as it travels along. (In the old days there were ones with little electric shocks!) I have to explain, so you can see what my issue is. The 2 ends where the curvy course is inserted (black), have a little 'end of the wire' inside, that protrudes into the black insert. This wire touches the inserted curvy metal course. This gives the 12v power to work the game. Someone damaged it a little, where the little wire has moved a little...the connection is not being made. I can feel the wire when I stick my finger down the hole. I have had it apart myself some time ago, when it was damaged. (You can see a pic where the wires were PULLED right OUT of the chrome pole!! What?! But thats not an issue now. Also see the WIRE in the pic where the black insert was broken in 2 at one time. My arthritic fingers prevent me from attempting this 'wire repositioning' myself, but its do-able. (This part been fixed 3 times before! This thing still owes me money! lol. An electrician would be the best perhaps, but I dont think its necessary in this case. The wire either makes a connection or it doesnt....sitting correctly. A good fix-it person is fine. (The last 2 wire fix-its were done by an acquaintance - an architect.) If you fail at doing what needs to be done, I will not review badly. Just need a LOCAL guy to have a bit of a look. If, after some examination, you dont think you can do it for some reason, we can stop there, settle the agreed bill here....at least I had a go......it's not the norm but its not rocket science either. (Maybe a mates rates rental for you can be an extra reward ;-) - Due date: Flexible

Cyrus is competent and friendly guy. I would recommend him, and use his services again.
