Console Repair Liverpool is an independent electronics and gaming hardware workshop based at 12 Sefton Street in Litherland. Specialising in component-level micro-soldering, console diagnostics, controller refurbishments and mobile device fixes, the workshop provides an affordable, local alternative to costly manufacturer replacement programmes.

What Console Repair Liverpool does

The workshop handles hardware and board-level repairs across modern and retro gaming systems, PCs, tablets and mobile phones. Rather than simply swapping out entire expensive sub-assemblies, the technicians use diagnostic microscopes and micro-soldering rework stations to replace damaged individual microchips, fractured HDMI sockets, burnt power capacitors and worn mechanical parts. Most standard repairs are diagnosed and completed within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

Console and controller repair specialisms

The business covers all major video game platforms:

  • PlayStation 5 and PS4: Replacement of damaged HDMI 2.1 ports, liquid metal oxidation cleaning, APU re-pasting, cooling fan replacements, optical disc drive laser repairs, and power supply unit (PSU) board fixes.
  • Xbox Series X and Series S: Micro-soldering broken HDMI display ports, internal power supply repairs, southbridge chipset reflows, and error code troubleshooting.
  • Nintendo Switch (Standard, OLED, and Lite): Micro-soldering damaged USB-C charging ports, touchscreen and OLED digitizer replacements, game card reader replacements, and battery installations.
  • Controller Stick-Drift Elimination: Rather than replacing standard potentiometer sensors that will inevitably fail again, the workshop upgrades PS5 DualSense and Xbox controllers with Hall Effect and TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance) magnetic sensors. These magnetic sticks use contact-free sensors that permanently eliminate joystick drift.

Phones, tablets and computer servicing

Alongside games consoles, the workshop repairs personal consumer electronics:

  • Screen and Battery Replacements: Fitting original-specification screens and fresh high-capacity batteries for Apple iPhones, iPads, and Samsung Galaxy devices.
  • PC and Laptop Upgrades: Cleaning dust from clogged laptop heat pipes, repasting CPUs with premium thermal compounds, replacing broken display hinges, and upgrading slow mechanical hard drives to solid-state drives (SSDs) with full data transfer.

Guarantees, collection and pricing

The workshop operates under a transparent, customer-first service charter (checked September 2026):

  • No-Fix, No-Fee Policy: If a device cannot be repaired or the required component is obsolete, customers are not charged for diagnostic inspection time.
  • Three-Month Warranty: All fitted parts and soldering labour carry a 90-day peace-of-mind guarantee.
  • Free Local Collection: Customers living across Litherland, Bootle, Seaforth, Crosby and Waterloo can arrange free collection and return of their consoles.
