MRC · Board-level console repair

Console repair diagnosis and quote before work begins.

Start with a free intake assessment so MRC can decide whether to accept your PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch. If accepted, we perform a proper diagnostic and provide a quote before any repair work begins.

Describe your consoleThe intake assessment determines acceptance; it is not the repair diagnostic.

01 / Faults

Faults we assess

For an accepted repair, we diagnose the actual console and confirm the fault before quoting repair work.

HDMI, power and no-boot

No picture over HDMI, no power, no-boot and related board faults are considered after safe bench checks.

Disc, slot and storage

Disc drives, game-card slots and related board-level faults may be assessed when parts and test access are available.

Heat and physical damage

Corrosion, connector damage, failed power paths and other physical damage can be assessed when donor or new parts and safe test access exist.

02 / Board-level scope

Board-level scope

We consider supported PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch / handheld consoles at board level. Laptop GPU repair and phone repair are outside this intake. Support depends on the exact model, condition, donor or new-part availability and safe test access.

  • Electrical diagnosis and power-rail fault isolation
  • HDMI, power, disc/slot and no-boot board work
  • Microsoldering, connector and PCB trace work
  • Component replacement when diagnosis supports it
  • Functional testing as the console allows

What we do not claim

  • A symptom alone does not prove that a specific chip is bad.
  • A repair attempt or component replacement is never presented as a guaranteed cure.
  • Laptop GPU repair and phone repair are outside this intake unless accepted in writing.
  • Do not bake, heat-gun or ship the console before we review its history and exact model.

03 / Process

Assessment, diagnosis, quote and repair

  1. 1

    Submit an intake assessment

    Send the manufacturer, model, symptoms and all prior repair history so we can decide whether to accept the job.

  2. 2

    Receive an acceptance decision

    If the console fits our scope, we send drop-off or shipping instructions. Do not send it before acceptance.

  3. 3

    Diagnostic and quote

    After the accepted console arrives, we perform a proper diagnostic and provide a quote. No repair work begins without your approval.

  4. 4

    Approved repair and testing

    After quote approval, we perform the agreed repair, test the console as the hardware allows and arrange its return.

04 / Re-thermals

Re-thermals and cleaning

Re-thermals and internal cleaning start at $90 plus tax on an accepted PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch. After intake acceptance, we open the console, clean accessible dust and residue, and replace the thermal interface materials we can reach on that model. The starting price covers a standard service; extra work, parts, shipping and tax are quoted separately. International clients are billed in USD. This is not a repair diagnostic and does not promise lower temperatures, quieter fans or a resolved fault.

  • From $90 plus tax for an accepted, supported console
  • Internal cleaning and thermal-interface replacement on reachable surfaces
  • International clients are billed in USD; extra work, parts and shipping are quoted separately
  • Not a repair diagnostic; do not ship until MRC accepts the request

Start with a free intake assessment

Send enough detail for us to decide whether to accept the job. This intake assessment is not the repair diagnostic. If accepted, we send instructions; after the console arrives, we diagnose it and provide a quote before repair work begins.
