Console repairs in Central London since 2003

Console repair specialists in Central London since 2003

London Console Repair is a video game console repair workshop offering professional, affordable repairs in London and for clients all over the United Kingdom. We started with the PlayStation 2 in 2003, have fixed well over 15,000 PlayStation consoles since, and now repair every current console from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo as well as handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally.

Once we receive your console, one of our technicians runs a set of diagnostic checks, finds the fault and sends you a quote. Nothing is repaired until you approve it. Many repairs are completed the same day, and all parts and labour carry a 90-day warranty.

What we repair

• HDMI port replacement on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
• No power and no picture faults, including yellow light of death, blue light of death and red ring of death
• Disc drive and laser repairs for consoles that won’t read, load or eject discs
• Overheating, fan noise and shutdowns, with a full internal clean and thermal service
• Hard drive, SSD upgrades and system reinstalls
• Screen, battery and charging port repairs on Switch, Steam Deck, ROG Ally, PS Vita and 3DS
• Controller repairs for stick drift, triggers, buttons and charging ports

Which console repair do you need?

Most console faults show up in a handful of recognisable ways. This is where we would usually start:

• PS5 or PS4 turns on but there is no picture: almost always the HDMI port, sometimes the HDMI chip behind it. See PS5 repair and PlayStation repair.
• Xbox Series X or S won’t power on: the power supply is built in, so a failed supply or a power fault on the board is the usual cause. See Xbox Series X and S repair.
• Nintendo Switch won’t charge or won’t show on the TV: a worn USB-C port or a failed charging or video chip. See Nintendo Switch repair.
• Stick drift on a controller, Joy-Con or Steam Deck: the analogue stick has worn and needs replacing. See controller repair and Joy-Con drift repair.
• Loud fans and shutdowns while gaming: dust and dried thermal paste. A full internal clean and thermal service usually fixes it on any console.
• Older consoles: PS3 yellow light of death, Xbox 360 red ring and PS2 disc errors are all still repaired at component level. See PS3 repair.

Console repair in London: how it works

Bring your console to our Central London workshop or our Beckenham drop-off point, or post it to us from anywhere in the UK. A technician runs a set of diagnostic checks, finds the fault and sends you a quote; nothing is repaired until you approve it. Many repairs are completed the same day. Before you hand it over, it helps to note any error code or light pattern, and to sync your saves to the cloud if the console still starts.

Mail-in repairs from anywhere in the UK

Not in London? Post your console to us. We will confirm when it arrives, send a quote once it has been diagnosed, and return it by tracked courier after the repair. You can also drop it at our Central London workshop or our Beckenham drop-off point.
