Game Console Repair Pricing

We keep console pricing as simple as possible. Most common console repairs fall under a flat-rate price, and more complex issues that require board-level work cost more due to the time, tools, and skill involved.

Flat-rate console repairs (most common)

Flat-rate pricing usually applies to common issues like:

• Overheating / loud fan (cleaning and service)
• Power issues that don’t require board-level repair
• Basic hardware replacements (when applicable)
• General diagnostics leading to a standard repair

Typical price: $100 flat rate for most console repairs.

Advanced / board-level console repairs

Some issues require deeper diagnostics and board-level work (or outsourced board-level service), such as:

• HDMI port damage with board-level complications
• Power management failures
• Liquid damage/corrosion
• Intermittent faults that require component-level troubleshooting

Typical price: $150+ for advanced repairs.

What can change the price

• The exact console model and the issue found during diagnosis
• Whether parts are needed and their cost/availability
• Evidence of prior repairs, missing screws, or internal damage
• Liquid damage or corrosion

Turnaround time (quick overview)

• Many flat-rate repairs can be completed in a reasonable timeframe depending on workload and parts.
• Advanced/board-level work can take longer, and outsourced options may take weeks depending on the case.

Bench fee / upfront payment (how diagnosis works)

Because console issues can take real bench time to diagnose, we charge a $65 bench fee for console diagnostics.

• The $65 bench fee is paid upfront so we’re not spending diagnostic time for free.
• If you move forward with a repair, that $65 is credited toward any completed console repair.
• If you choose not to proceed after diagnosis, the bench fee covers the time spent testing and troubleshooting.

Before any repair work begins, we’ll still explain what we found, your options, the total price, and the expected timeline.
