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.

Fix ceiling curtain track – broken plastic runners/clips(Melbourne CBD

$150

Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

23rd Jan 2026

Hi, I need help repairing a ceiling-mounted curtain track in my rental apartment near Flinders St, Melbourne CBD (3000). This is a Velcro (hook-and-loop) curtain system: the curtain attaches to a long strip, and that strip is held in the ceiling track by plastic clips/runners. A couple of the plastic clips/runners have snapped off, so the strip has come down and can’t be re-inserted/locked back into the metal ceiling track. Important: The original broken clips/runners cannot be reused. I need you to supply or source new compatible clips/runners (or an equivalent replacement solution). I will reimburse the parts cost (please provide receipt). What I’m looking for: Inspect on-site and replace the broken runners/clips with new ones, then reinstall and make sure the curtain runs smoothly, OR If compatible parts are unavailable (older system), propose the most cost-effective alternative (e.g., suitable replacement runners, minor modification, or replace the track/section if required). Photos: I’ll attach clear photos of the track, the strip, and the broken clips/runners. Please include in your offer: Your fixed price (call-out + labour) Whether you can bring/supply the parts, or if you need to purchase them after inspection A rough parts cost range (I will reimburse with receipt) Earliest availability Thanks! Location/access: Melbourne CBD 3000 (near Flinders St). Lift available.
