Stick Drift Repair

Stick drift causes unwanted character or camera movement even when you are not touching the controller. The lasting fix is module replacement, not a clean, and we do it regularly on every major controller. See our dedicated pages for Switch Joy-Con drift repair and PS5 DualSense drift repair.

Scuf controller stick drift? We've got you covered. Our team handles premium custom controllers with care and expertise.

Our repair process includes a full inspection and replacement of the analog stick module so the controller reads true centre again. We also offer Hall effect stick modules as a longer-life option on Switch Joy-Cons and select controllers.

HDMI Port Replacement on PS5, Xbox, PS4, and Switch

A console that powers on but produces no picture on the TV is almost always an HDMI port problem. We do the same kind of board-level micro-soldering repair across all major consoles:

Supported Consoles

Handheld PC Repair

The handheld PC category has grown quickly and we work on the major devices: the Steam Deck (LCD and OLED), the ROG Ally and Ally X, and the Legion Go and Legion Go S. The most common handheld repairs we see are thumbstick drift, USB-C charging port wear, screen damage, fan and thermal issues, and battery replacements on the older devices. All board-level repair is done on the same bench as our console work.

Xbox Repairs

We repair the Xbox Series X, Series S and the Xbox One family. The most common faults are a dead HDMI port (the console powers on but the TV shows nothing) and overheating (loud fan, shutdowns mid-game), followed by power faults, disc drives and controller drift. Everything we do on Xbox consoles is on our Xbox repair service.

Nintendo Switch Repairs

Switch repairs cover the original Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite. The most common are Joy-Con drift, HDMI and dock issues (the HDMI output is on the dock, not the console), USB-C charging port wear, and screen replacement from drops or pressure damage.

Outside Ottawa? Mail Your Console In

We take consoles and handheld PCs by mail from anywhere in Canada. Call or send us a message first and we'll give you the shipping details. Pack the console well and ship it to us, and we diagnose it and send you a quote before any work. Once you approve, we repair it, test it and ship it back. A PS5 HDMI port replacement, for example, is $180 and usually takes 1 to 2 business days once the console arrives. See mail-in repair for how to pack and send it.

Frequently Asked Questions

We repair all current and recent-generation consoles including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Nintendo Switch (including Switch Lite and Switch OLED). We also service older consoles on a case-by-case basis.
Most gaming console repairs are completed within 1-3 business days. Common repairs like stick drift fixes and thermal paste replacement are often done same-day or next-day. HDMI port replacements and more complex board-level repairs typically take 2-3 days.
Stick drift repair pricing depends on the controller type. We replace the entire analog stick module rather than just cleaning it, which provides a permanent fix. Contact us with your specific controller model for an accurate quote.
Yes, HDMI port replacement is one of our most common console repairs. The port is soldered directly to the motherboard, so we use micro-soldering techniques to remove the damaged port and install a new one. This is a precise repair that requires specialized equipment and experience.
If your console is still under manufacturer warranty, we recommend using the manufacturer's repair service first. For consoles that are out of warranty or where the warranty has already been voided (e.g., by accidental damage), our repair services are an excellent and cost-effective alternative.
