Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about console repair in Kirkcaldy.
Every games console job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your games console. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most console repair jobs in Kirkcaldy are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. 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 KY1 — High Street, Esplanade, Beveridge Road — and keep you updated by message until the games console is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full KY1 postcode area. That includes High Street, Esplanade, Beveridge Road, the Esplanade, Beveridge Park side, Pathhead, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
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.
We work with every major brand and configuration in Kirkcaldy. Whether your games console is consumer, business-grade, or a custom build, send us the model details and we'll let you know what's involved.
Yes — HDMI port replacement is bread-and-butter console work. For Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy 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 Kirkcaldy 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.
