What We Fix

Every Console Problem — Solved

Component-level repair by real technicians. Not "clean it and hope."

🔌

HDMI Port Micro-Soldering

No signal, flickering, or no display? The HDMI port is soldered to the motherboard. We desolder the broken port and micro-solder a new one — precision board work most shops refuse to attempt. Our #1 console repair.

💿

Disc Drive Repair

Not reading discs, grinding noises, or ejecting randomly? We repair or replace the disc drive mechanism. PS5, Xbox Series X, and older generations.

💨

Overheating & Fan Repair

Console shutting down during gameplay? We clean internals, replace thermal paste, swap failing fans, and restore proper airflow. Prevents long-term board damage.

Power Supply Repair

Console won't turn on at all? Beeps then dies? We diagnose and repair power delivery issues — from blown fuses to failed voltage regulators on the board.

🕹️

Joy-Con Drift Fix

Switch character moving on its own? We replace the analog stick sensor module with higher-durability parts. Both Joy-Cons done in under an hour.

🖥️

Screen Replacement (Switch)

Cracked LCD or dead pixels on your Switch? Full screen + digitizer replacement for OLED, V2, V1, Lite, and Switch 2 models.

📵

Blue Light of Death (BLOD)

PS5 BLOD or Switch boot loop? These are motherboard-level issues. We diagnose the root cause and repair the board — not just reset it.

🔋

Battery Replacement

Switch dying in under 2 hours? Controller won't hold charge? We replace battery cells in Switch consoles and wireless controllers with OEM-grade parts.

🎮

Controller Repair

Stick drift on PS5 DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controller, or Joy-Con. Broken triggers, unresponsive buttons, Bluetooth sync issues. We fix them all.

Why BuyCellFix for Console Repair

Not Your Average Phone Shop

Console repair is a core part of our business — not an afterthought.

🔬

HDMI Micro-Soldering Specialists

The PS5 and Xbox HDMI port is soldered directly to the motherboard with over 20 tiny pins. Replacing it requires a skilled technician with a hot-air rework station, flux, and a microscope. Most phone repair shops can't do this — they'll tell you to "send it to Sony" or buy a new one. We do these repairs every week. It's our #1 console fix and the repair that sets us apart from every other shop in the city. iFixit's PS5 teardown documents the procedure we follow.

Same-Day Turnaround

Joy-Con drift: 30 minutes. Fan cleaning: about 1 hour. HDMI port: same day. We don't hold your console for a week.

💰

Way Cheaper Than Replacing

A new PS5 or Xbox costs $600+. An HDMI port fix costs a fraction of that. We'll always give an honest recommendation on whether repair makes sense.

🛡️

30-Day Warranty

Every console repair covered. HDMI stops working again? Disc drive issue returns? Come back and we fix it free within 30 days.

🎮

Dedicated Console Repair Team

We're not a phone shop that "also does consoles." Gaming console repair — PS5 HDMI, Xbox overheating, Switch Joy-Con drift, Switch 2 issues — is a core service we offer. We have the specialized tools, parts inventory, and daily experience specifically for console work. When you walk in with a broken PS5, you're not our first rodeo.

FAQ

Game Console Repair Questions

Everything you might want to know before bringing in a broken console.

Can you really fix a broken HDMI port on a PS5 or Xbox?
Yes — this is our #1 console repair. The HDMI port is soldered to the motherboard. We desolder the damaged port under a microscope and micro-solder a brand new one. Most shops can't do this — we do it every week. See our PS5 repair page and Xbox repair page for details.
How long does game console repair take?
Most repairs are same-day. Joy-Con drift is about 30 minutes. Fan cleaning takes about 1 hour. HDMI port replacement is typically same day. Drop off in the morning, pick up in the afternoon at our Laval, Montreal, or Vaudreuil-Dorion shops.
Will I lose my game saves?
No — for HDMI, disc drive, fan, screen, and most hardware repairs, your data and game saves stay completely intact. For deep motherboard-level repairs, there's a small risk which we'll discuss before starting any work.
Do you fix Nintendo Switch 2?
Yes — we repair all Switch models including the new Switch 2, plus Switch OLED, V2, V1, and Switch Lite. Joy-Con drift, screen replacement, charging port, battery, and fan service are all available. Visit our Nintendo Switch repair page for details.
Do you fix PS4, Xbox One, and older consoles?
Yes — PS4, PS4 Pro, PS4 Slim, Xbox One, One S, One X, and older Switch models are all welcome. We focus on current-gen but gladly fix previous-gen consoles too. The PS5 repair page covers PS4 details, and the Xbox repair page covers Xbox One.
Is it worth repairing vs. buying a new console?
Almost always yes. An HDMI port fix costs a fraction of a new PS5 or Xbox. Even a full overhaul (HDMI + fan + thermal paste) is significantly cheaper than replacement. We'll always give you an honest assessment after the free diagnostic.
Do you fix controllers?
Yes — DualSense (PS5), DualSense Edge, Xbox Wireless Controller, and Joy-Cons. Stick drift, button issues, trigger repair, battery replacement, and Bluetooth sync problems. DualSense drift starts at $35, Joy-Con drift starts at $45 per controller.
What is the Blue Light of Death (BLOD)?
A PS5 issue where the console pulses blue and never reaches the home screen. It's usually a motherboard-level problem — failed APU, power regulation, or HDMI encoder chip. We diagnose for free and repair the board when possible. See PS5 Power / BLOD Repair for the full breakdown.
What is Joy-Con drift?
A common Nintendo Switch issue where the analog stick reads movement even when you're not touching it — character drifts on its own. We replace the analog stick module with higher-durability parts (or upgrade to hall-effect sticks if you want a permanent fix). Both Joy-Cons typically done in under an hour. See Joy-Con Drift Repair.
What's your warranty on console repairs?
30 days on all repairs — parts and labor. Same issue comes back? We fix it free, no questions asked.
Do I need an appointment?
No — walk-ins welcome 7 days a week at our Laval and Montreal shops. Vaudreuil-Dorion is drop-off / pick-up by appointment. For HDMI port repairs, calling ahead is a good idea so we can confirm part availability for your specific console.
Do you buy broken consoles?
Yes — even if it's beyond repair, we'll buy it for parts or refurbishment. Visit our sell page or just bring it in.
Repair vs Replace

Why Repair Your Console Instead of Replacing It?

Console repair saves you money, your data, and the planet.

💰 Cost Comparison

A new PlayStation 5 starts around $649 CAD direct from PlayStation Canada. An HDMI port repair at BuyCellFix is a fraction of that price. Battery replacement is even less. You keep your console, your saves, your accessories — and you're back up and running same day.

🌍 Environmental Impact

Manufacturing new electronics produces significant carbon emissions. Per Nintendo Canada, console design has shifted toward repairability and longer device lifecycles. Repairing extends console life by 2–3 years and keeps e-waste out of landfills. At BuyCellFix we're committed to repair-first — recycle is the last resort.
