# Console Repairs in Ramsgate (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo)
Modern consoles use the same surface-mount components as laptops, which means most "dead" consoles are repairable for a fraction of replacement cost.
## Most common faults we see
- **HDMI port damage** — #1 fault on PS4 and PS5. Repair cost from **R950**.
- **Disc drive failure** — dust, worn laser, or bad belt. From **R650**.
- **Overheating / fan noise** — thermal paste + fan service. **R450–R650**.
- **No power / blue light of death** — board-level diagnosis required.
- **Controller drift** — stick replacement, **R350** per controller.
## Why not just buy a new one?
A used PS5 still costs R10,000+ in 2026. A R950 HDMI repair makes sense.
