Tap the problem to see what usually causes it and how we fix it.
A console that gets very hot, sounds like a jet engine or shuts itself off mid-game usually has a dust-clogged fan and heatsink, a failing fan or old thermal paste. We open it up, clean out the dust, check the fan and cooling parts and replace what's worn.
If it shuts off from heat, unplug it and let it cool before trying again.
No lights, a light that blinks then goes off, or a console that beeps and does nothing? The cause can be the power supply, a power port, a battery on handhelds or the motherboard. We test each part first and explain your options before any repair.
Motherboard repairs and special-order parts can take 3 to 5 business days.
If games won't load, the console says the disc is unrecognized, or a disc is stuck inside, the problem is usually the laser, the drive motor or the eject mechanism. We diagnose the drive and repair or replace the parts that failed.
A black screen, flickering picture or "no signal" message often comes from a damaged HDMI port, especially after a cable was pulled or the console fell. We check the port, the cable and the video output and repair the part that's causing it.
Controller won't pair, keeps disconnecting or won't charge? We check the charging port, battery, wireless connection and buttons, then repair what's failing so you're not stuck buying a new controller.
Drift is when your character or camera moves on its own. It's usually caused by a worn or dirty analog stick. We test the stick and replace it when needed so your controls are accurate again.
Out of space for new games, or getting storage errors? We upgrade storage on consoles that support it and fix drive problems that cause slow loading or system errors.
We never erase your console without your approval first.
Error codes, failed updates, crashing games or a console stuck on the logo or in safe mode? We troubleshoot the software, install updates and repair system errors. If a reset is ever needed, we ask you first.
