What we fix on consoles

HDMI ports (PS5 & Xbox)

The most common no-signal cause. We perform selected HDMI and other board-level repairs after inspection confirms the problem and repair path. PS5 HDMI repair · Xbox HDMI repair.

Overheating and loud fans

These symptoms may be caused by blocked airflow, a failing fan, or a thermal issue, we evaluate the console before recommending cleaning, cooling service, or parts.

Disc drives

Drives that won’t take discs, won’t read them, or won’t give them back.

Power problems

Consoles that won’t turn on or shut off mid-game.

Nintendo Switch & Steam Deck

Switch console repairs may include charging, power, no-video or dock-path issues, screens, and selected board-level problems, we do not repair standalone controllers or Joy-Cons. Steam Deck repairs are evaluated the same way.

How the console queue works

Reserve a game-console repair drop-off, the reservation holds your check-in time, not immediate technician bench time. A $50 diagnostic deposit applies at check-in and goes toward the repair if you proceed; it covers the diagnostic time if the repair is declined, no problem is found, or the console isn’t practical to repair.

Console repairs typically wait about two to three business days before reaching a technician’s bench, that’s the queue before evaluation begins, not the total repair turnaround. Console repairs are not same-day.

Selected board-level work, honestly scoped

HDMI and similar failures are board-level repairs, the damaged part is soldered directly to the motherboard. Computer Warriors performs selected board-level and microsoldering repairs after evaluation confirms the problem and the repair path, and you approve the quote before the work.

Warranty on console repairs

Eligible console repairs carry a one-year warranty on the installed part, repaired area, workmanship, and labor, including eligible HDMI and board-level work. It doesn’t cover unrelated failures or new damage.
