Common questions about console repair in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire.
Every games console job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts.

No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Plenty of console repair jobs in Airdrie are sorted on the same day, during the visit or at our Edinburgh workshop. If a part is needed, we say how long it will take. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in ML6 — Stirling Street, Hallcraig Street, Graham Street — and keep you updated by message until the games console is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full ML6 postcode area. That includes Stirling Street, Hallcraig Street, Graham Street, the Town Cross, Coatdyke side, Cairnhill, and the rest of central Airdrie. You can drop it at our Edinburgh workshop, post it in, or book a home visit or a collection; in Airdrie visits and collections are by appointment and a travel fee applies.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles of the current and previous generations, plus the Steam Deck. From HDMI ports and fans to disc drives, charging ports and controllers, most faults can be repaired at board level.
Yes — HDMI port replacement is bread-and-butter console work. For Airdrie PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, and Xbox One owners, we desolder the damaged HDMI connector, clean the PCB pads, and reflow a new OEM-grade port. Bench time is about an hour; total turnaround usually 24–48 hours. Most port damage we see is from cable strain or someone tripping a live cable — easy to repair, and worth doing before the cracked traces turn into a board-level failure.
Yes — both. Nintendo Switch is the most-repaired console on our bench (Joy-Con drift, charging port damage, dropped-screen swaps), and Steam Deck repairs are growing fast. For Airdrie customers we cover the full range on both: stick replacements, screen swaps, fan repairs, charging port replacements, software fixes, and storage upgrades. Most jobs are 1–3 days end-to-end.
Yes — drift is a known weakness in standard Joy-Con sticks (the carbon-on-carbon contact wears unevenly) and we fix it with stick module replacement. For Airdrie customers we offer either OEM Alps replacements or Hall-effect upgrades — Hall-effect uses magnets instead of physical contact and doesn't drift. Both options come with our 30-day labour warranty; the Hall-effect parts carry their own manufacturer warranty for a full 12 months.
