Mod and Repair Services

Need to get your console serviced or modified? Simply fill out the form below to request an estimated quote.

​

We offer modification, repair, maintenance, and other services targeted to restore retro consoles back to their working glory. If there's something that isn't offered or would like to inquire, feel free to ask as we're happy to start a dialog either through our FAQ & Contact Us page or Discord.​

​

There may be parts that may have to order prior to do repair work, you will be notified if this is the case should you request repairs​ and we do not currently have particular parts in stock as it's not feasible to have all parts for all consoles there are readily available.

​

If we feel that we may not be able to proceed with your request for a repair or modification service, we will let you know and why as part of being transparent with our operations.

Also, you are welcome to provide your own components if that's your preference for things like a capacitor replacement if you just need someone to do the work - you will need to make that explicitly known within the details.

** Modifications for HDMI / Video and ODE will require you to provide the mod to be installed as we do not sell them. We can make recommendations based on our knowledge and experience if unsure what's available (provided actual availability). Capacitor replacements include motherboards and disk drives (as applicable); power supplies are excluded and would need some lead time if a recap of a PSU is desired to get the appropriate caps.

Thanks for submitting! Expect an email with a link to the estimate in 5 business days.

Not
Repairable

Certain issues due to manufacturer defects are not able to be repaired. Other issues that we'll not take in for repair are broken PCBs.

PS3 Yellow Light of Death

This issue is due to a manufacturing defect in early revisions of the PS3 GPU and is not repairable. The problem is not with capacitors; it stems from improper internal heat dissipation in the GPU that results in micro-cracks forming in the solder. Re-balling is a temporary solution at best. While the error code is a generic hardware failure, and the large cap replacement is one possible cause, we will not take in units with this error indicator at this time.

Not
Suitable for Retrobright

Retrobrighting is the chemical processes of removing yellowing from plastics. This is corrosive and will oxidize any metals there in. Therefore, any plastic components that has metal imbedded will not go through this process.

Plates with embedded Metals

The metals will be corroded by the process. Ex. SNES back plate.

Ports with embedded metals

The metals will be corroded by the process. Ex. SNES and Sega Genesis / Master System controller ports
