Common questions.

We quote the Nintendo Switch OLED after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.

Usually same day. If a part needs ordering we tell you at the counter, before you commit.

The Nintendo Switch OLED came out in 2021, which puts it in the range where a single repair usually buys years rather than months. A screen or a battery costs a fraction of a replacement handset, and you keep everything already set up on it.

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.

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.

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.

PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series S and X, and Nintendo Switch including Lite and OLED. HDMI ports, controller drift, overheating, fans, storage and cleaning.

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

Bring it in and we do it again at no cost, for 360 days from the repair, on the part and the workmanship both. That does not cover new accidental damage, which we will always be straight with you about.

360 days on parts and workmanship. If the same fault comes back and it was not caused by new damage, we repair it again at no cost. Accidental damage, liquid damage after the repair and cracked glass are not covered.

The order of things

Diagnose first, quote second.

Describe the symptom

You do not need to know what the part is called. What it does, when it started and whether it was dropped or got wet tells us most of it.

Plain terms are fine

The device gets tested

Every one is checked before a price is given, so nobody pays for a component that was working the whole time. Nothing is opened without your say-so.

Nothing to pay

Fixed, checked, handed back

Buttons, cameras, sensors, speakers and a real call, tested before it leaves. Then 360 days of cover on the part and the work.

Tested end to end
What you are paying for

Over a decade of the same job.

An independent shop on Richmond Road that has been repairing phones, tablets, laptops and consoles for the same city for more than ten years.

Most repairs while you wait

15 to 45 minutes covers the majority of phone screen and battery work, because the parts are on the shelf.

Tested before it goes back

Cameras, sensors, buttons, speakers and a real call. A fitted part is halfway, not finished.

360 days of cover

On the part and on the workmanship, at every price tier. Same fault back, same repair, no charge.

Free to find out

The diagnostic costs nothing whether you go ahead or not, and there is nothing to pay if we cannot fix it.
