Common questions.

We quote the Xbox Series S 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.

Often yes, and the sums are better than people expect. Parts for the Xbox Series S are widely supplied and cost less than they did when it was the current model, so the repair is cheaper now than it would have been then. We quote it against what the device is worth and say plainly if it does not add up.

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.

For common faults on common models, yes, and the price is on the page you are reading. For anything with no clear symptom, liquid damage especially, nobody can price it honestly without opening it, so we do that for free first.

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.

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.

4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, D03 FX52, a few minutes from Drumcondra train station and on several bus routes into the city. There is parking on the road outside.

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.

Yes, with collection across Dublin, an invoice rather than a counter payment, and a single contact rather than a queue. There is a page for that with the details.

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.
