Game Console Free Diagnostic in Dublin

From €25, depending on the model. Pick your model above for the exact figure.

Usually while you wait. We confirm timing before you commit.

We test the device against the symptoms you describe, open it if we need to, and identify the actual fault rather than the obvious one. You get told what is wrong, what it costs and how long it takes, and you decide from there.

Yes, and there is no obligation to go ahead. If you decide not to repair it, you take it away and pay nothing.

Yes, anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday. Tell us where you are and we arrange a time. Outside Dublin we are not set up for collection, so the device would need to come to the shop.

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.

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.

That depends on what the device is worth and what the repair costs, and we will tell you honestly when the sums do not work. Turning away a job we could have charged for is the reason people come back.

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.

For most screen and battery work, 15 to 45 minutes, and people wait in the shop. Anything that has to come apart further, or that we want to run for a while before handing back, we tell you the day rather than guess at an hour.

Yes, and it is worth saying so at the counter, because a previous repair changes where we look first. Bring any screws or parts you were given back.

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.
