Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about console repair in Morningside, Edinburgh.
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 Morningside 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 EH10 — Morningside Road, Comiston Road, Holy Corner — and keep you updated by message until the games console is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH10 postcode area. That includes Morningside Road, Comiston Road, Holy Corner, Holy Corner, Churchhill, Greenbank, 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 Morningside. 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 — bent, loose, or non-functional HDMI ports on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, and Xbox One are routine for us. The repair is a surface-mount port desolder and replacement — we use OEM-grade ports and a hot-air station with proper temperature control. Morningside customers can collect/drop-off or arrange EH10 pickup; turnaround is typically 1–2 working days once the part is to hand. The console comes back fully tested.
Yes — Switch and Steam Deck repairs are both common in Morningside. For the Switch: drift fixes, broken charging ports (probably the most common Switch repair full stop), screen and digitizer replacement, dock issues, and overheating cleans. For the Steam Deck: paste refreshes, fan replacement, screen swaps, trackpad and stick repairs. Both are doable in 24–72 hours depending on parts.
Yes — and we recommend the proper fix rather than the temporary one. For Morningside Joy-Cons we replace the entire analogue stick module — usually with an OEM Alps unit or a Hall-effect upgrade where appropriate (Hall-effect sticks don't drift, full stop). Contact cleaning is cheaper but the drift comes back within weeks; module replacement is the long-term answer. Around 24 hours bench time.
