What do console repair services include?

The game console repair service includes all the tasks necessary to make a non-working or malfunctioning game console work as intended. To repair popular consoles like the PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch, your console repairman can do troubleshooting followed by the needed repairs. After completing the repairs, they can test the system to ensure the console is back to its original working order. 

Troubleshooting the problem 

Your console repair specialist begins by inspecting the different functions and components of your gaming console. They may also check each game disc for dirt or scratches if reading or loading errors occur. Your specialist inspects the cables, controllers, connection ports for issues. The monitor or TV and the Wi-Fi are checked as appropriate for any video, audio or connectivity problems. Once the problem is found, your console repair specialist works on the necessary fixes.  

Checking connections

Your console repairman checks all the connections that lead to and from the gaming console. This includes the HDMI cables, the HDMI ports on both the TV or monitor and the console, the power plugs and the controller ports. Your specialist can also check your internet for connectivity problems and do the appropriate fixes. 

Cleaning the internal parts

Defective gaming consoles can trace some of their problems to issues with heat management. The cooling fan usually causes this, along with the heat sink and other internal parts choked with dirt and debris. 

Your console repair specialist disconnects the console, shuts off the power and opens your game console’s case. They then clean the fan, heat sink, hard disk if any, and other parts with a non-static brush or blast from a can of compressed air. The case is reassembled once all the cleaning is done.

Rewiring the console and controllers

Some issues on your gaming console or its parts may be due to wires that have snapped or got cut from excessive bending. Your console repair specialist can check the wires on the controllers, HDMI cable or other connecting cables, and the power cable. Should any cut wires be discovered, your specialist can install new wires and splice or solder new connections.  

Replacing the non-working components

Any parts that no longer work on your consoles, such as the cooling fan on your PS4 or Xbox or the PS4 hard disk can be replaced if necessary. Note that your specialist may not have the replacement parts ready, so you must purchase these. Some specialists may offer to go to the console repair store to get these parts for you for a small additional fee.  

Testing the game console after repair

After your hired repair specialist has applied the fixes, they can test the console. They can check that the game loads up and works, both controllers function and respond as they should, and the video, audio and internet connectivity work as expected. If any issues arise, your repair specialist repeats the diagnostic and repair process until the console works without any problems.

Plumbing-inspect our upstairs toilet

$100

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

22nd May 2024

Looking for a well-rated licensed plumber with good inspections background to have a good look at our upstairs toilet and its associated plumbing. We’ve always had a bad feeling about this toilet — it smelled when we first moved in (not anymore), we hear a leaking sound sometimes, it’s directly above a curious ceiling stain on the level below — we’d love for someone to just come have a GOOD look at it (ie examine the cistern, drop a camera down the drain, etc.) so that we can be sure we know what is up with it. It’s up on the third floor of a converted warehouse, so might be trickier than some. Just looking for cost to investigate at this stage. We’ll talk about resolution when we know for sure what, if anything, is up with it. Putting $100 coz I literally have no idea. Quote appropriately. We’re serious and looking for it to happen ASAP. :)

Sealing and closing gaps inside and outside of house

$250

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

19th May 2024

We had our routine pest control and they have recommended a number of locations we need to seal/enclose. Namely openings around fireplaces, holes around bricks (inside and outside) and putting steel mesh to outside grates. Open to the best way to enclose, some will just be as simple as caulking. Will cover materials and can buy these from Bunnings myself if advised what is needed or leave with you and reimburse you + 10%.

Super easy to deal with and very flexible. Definitely recommend!

Cut down two olive trees and grind stumps

$400

Elwood VIC, Australia

8th May 2024

We have two olive trees in the backyard, to be cut down and the stumps grinded. We would prefer a contractor with a mulcher so that the waste can be mulched and left on site to be spread around the garden. It is probably 1-1.5 trailer loads of green waste in total, as a guesstimate. It would probably take two workers a approximately 0.5-1 day to get it done. Please offer your best price, short explanation of your relevant experience and tools that you have for the job, and when you can get it done. Thanks

100% recommended. Efficient, quality work at a fair price and short turnaround. Good guy and has the equipment and manpower needed to get the job done.
