How Retro Console Repair Works
- Bring the console in or mail it. Include the power supply and the controller or cartridge that shows the problem.
- We run diagnostics ($75) and find what failed: power, video or audio output, ports, controller, battery or overheating.
- We check whether the part is still available. Many retro parts are discontinued, so we confirm availability after diagnostics instead of promising it up front.
- You get a quote for a specific amount. We start only after you say yes.
- Repairs come with a 30-day warranty. Liquid damage repairs carry none.

Repair time depends on the issue. It also depends on whether a part has to be found, so we tell you the timeline after diagnostics.

“I was having issues with my anbernic rg522.
I took it to the gentleman in the establishment.
I explained my concerns and issues.
He took a look at it and imeditatly knew what needed to be done.
Picked it up a few days later. Got the same price I researched online. Very reasonable.
I AM HAPPY.
May games are more organized
