Common questions.

The price depends on the model and is confirmed after a free diagnostic. Pick your model above for the exact figure.

Usually same day. We confirm timing before you commit.

Yes. Stick drift is a worn potentiometer in the thumbstick module, and the fix is replacing the module rather than the whole controller. It is a common repair and much cheaper than a new controller.

Sometimes, briefly. Contact cleaner can settle a drifting stick for a few weeks, but once the track inside is worn it comes back. We will tell you honestly which one yours is.

Saturday 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, closed Sunday. No appointment needed on any of those days.

No. These are hardware repairs and we do not open, copy or erase anything on the device. Back it up first anyway, because any device that already has a fault can fail further while it is being worked on.

No. The diagnostic is free whether you go ahead with the repair or not, and that is true for the quick check at the counter and the longer one on the bench.

That is a cooling problem and it is one of the most common jobs we see. Dust in the heatsink and dried thermal paste. A full strip, clean and repaste is a same-day job and it makes an audible difference.

Yes, including VAT, the part, the fitting and the testing. If we find something else once we are inside, we ring you before doing anything, and you can say no and pay nothing.

Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts, and it does not change unless we find something else and you agree to it first.

Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts.

You pay nothing. No fix, no fee covers the diagnostic and the handling, so the only time you pay is when the device comes back working. If a repair turns out to cost more than the device is worth, we tell you that instead of doing it.

What actually happens

From the counter to the bench.

You hand it over

No form to fill in and no appointment to keep. Tell us what it is doing, or what it stopped doing, and we take it from there.

Walk-ins welcome

We find out why

The fault gets diagnosed before anything is quoted, because the obvious part is not always the broken one. That check costs nothing either way.

Free to look

You get a firm number

One price, agreed before work starts. If we find something else inside, we ring you first rather than adding it to the bill.
