Price by Console: PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch
PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro
PS5 repair is our busiest console job. HDMI and USB port repairs start at $99, and a fan repair starts at $79. Disc drive and power supply repairs start at $129. You can see the full list on our PS5 repair prices and services page. Bring your exact model, since a Slim or Pro can use different parts.
Xbox Series X and Series S
Xbox repair works much the same way. On the Series X, an HDMI replacement starts at $99, and a fan repair starts at $79. For the Series S, we’ll quote after a quick look. It’s a smaller console, so parts and pricing can vary.
Nintendo Switch
Nintendo Switch repair usually costs a little more for HDMI problems. A Switch HDMI port repair starts at $109. Screen, dock, and Joy-Con issues get a quote after we test the console.
Price by Repair: HDMI, Overheating, Disc Drive and Drift
PS5 HDMI Repair
Most HDMI failures start with a bent or torn port. Sometimes the small chip behind it fails too. Port work starts at $99, and we’ll tell you if the chip needs attention before we go ahead.
Overheating and Fan Noise
A loud fan or sudden shutdowns often point to dust, dried thermal paste, or a weak fan. A fan repair starts at $79. For a real example, read our PS5 Pro CPU fan repair in Gloucester post.
Disc Drive and Power Problems
If a disc won’t load or the console won’t turn on, the cause may be the drive or the power supply. Both repairs start at $129. The blue light of death can be trickier. It sometimes needs a board check, so we test first.
Controller and Joy-Con Drift
Drift happens when the stick sensor wears down. Repair is often cheaper than a new controller. Bring it in, and we’ll give you a price right away.
Why Board Level Repairs Cost More Than a Part Swap
Some fixes are quick. A fan swap takes minutes. HDMI and power repairs take more skill. The technician lifts the old port off the motherboard with hot air and solders a new one by hand. The joints are tiny, so this micro-soldering work takes time and steady hands.
A rushed job can lift a pad or burn a trace. That turns a $99 fix into a dead board. So a very low quote from an untested shop may cost you more later.
Three things move the price:
- The fault, such as a port, fan, drive, or board
- Your model, such as PS5 Slim, Series X, or Switch OLED
- Extra damage we find, such as a failed chip or liquid damage
Our technicians do this work in-house, and the 1 year warranty backs it up.
Tech Solutions vs Sony, Microsoft and Mail In Repair
Sony covers a new console under its PS5 one year limited warranty. If you’re still inside that year, start there. After it ends, you pay for repairs.
Other shops report that Sony’s out-of-warranty fee can pass $200, with waits of two to four weeks. Mail-in shops often charge $100 to $180 plus shipping. Since these figures come from other shops, treat them as rough guides.
| Factor | Tech Solutions USA | Sony or Microsoft mail-in | Online mail-in shops |
| HDMI price | from $99 | Often $200 or more | $100 to $180 plus shipping |
| Turnaround | 30 to 45 minutes for many repairs | Two to four weeks | One to two weeks |
| Board level work | In house | Varies | Varies |
| Your console | Same console back | May be a refurbished unit | Same console back |
| Warranty | 1 year | Varies | Often 30 to 90 days |
Is It Worth Repairing Your Console?
In most cases, yes. A new console usually costs $450 or more. A $99 to $149 repair costs far less. You’ll also keep your saved games and downloads, since most repairs don’t touch your storage.
Repair makes sense when:
- One part has failed, such as a port, fan, or drive
- Your console is out of warranty
- You’d rather not set up a new console from scratch
Replacement may be smarter when the board has heavy liquid damage or several parts have failed. We’ll say so honestly, even if that means no repair.
