We’re in Cefn-y-bedd on the A541 Mold Road, between Wrexham and Mold. From Chester you can head south on the A483 towards Wrexham and pick up the A541, or go out through Saltney and Broughton and drop down via Penyffordd and Hope. From Ellesmere Port and the Wirral, the Borderlands railway line runs from Bidston through Shotton to Cefn-y-bedd station. Whichever way you come, there’s onsite parking when you arrive.
The Series consoles carry the HDMI signal through a small chip before it reaches the port, so we check the port under magnification and test the picture before quoting. Series X HDMI port is £85 and Series S £75.
Usually dust in the fan and heatsink, which builds up faster in busy households. A clean and re-paste starts from £60, and we’ll tell you if the fan itself needs replacing.
On disc-edition consoles, drives wear, belts slip and lasers weaken. Disc drive repairs are from £70.
Consoles that travel between home and halls get knocked about: bent HDMI ports, cracked shells and controllers with worn sticks are common. Bring it in when you’re home for the weekend.
Every console is different, so we look before we price. When you bring it in we note the fault you’ve described, test it with your cable and controller, and open it up if we need to. Then we tell you what’s wrong, what the repair involves and the price, and nothing is done until you say yes. Where we publish a fixed price, that’s the price. Where it says “from”, the final price is confirmed after we’ve had a look, before any work starts. If a repair isn’t worth doing, we’ll tell you straight.
If we fit a standard part, like an HDMI port, a fan, a drive or a stick, and the same fault comes back within 12 months, bring it back and we’ll put it right. Board-level work, such as soldering repairs on the motherboard, carries 3 months, because those boards have often been through a knock or a spill already. The warranty covers our part and our workmanship. It doesn’t cover new drops, spills, or someone else opening the console after us.
