Why Midland Gamers Make Barrie Their Console Guy

Honest answer: it's a drive. Here's why people make it once and don't regret it.

01

Nobody Closer Does This Work

Board-level soldering isn't something most shops staff for. Around Midland, Penetanguishene and Tay, "console repair" usually means a phone counter that ships it out. We do the soldering ourselves, on our bench, in Barrie.

02

Two Weeks Vs. Today

Send-it-out shops quote 2-4 weeks. We turned our most popular repairs, HDMI and overheating, into same-day jobs. Book a morning drop-off and it's usually ready that evening, so the drive is one trip, not two.

03

A Price Before You Even Drive

$199 for HDMI. $170 for overheating. Flat, no "starting at." Call or text before you leave Midland and we'll confirm we have your part on the shelf, so you never make the drive for nothing.

Worth the drive

50 Km / 40 Minutes From Barrie

Most shops near Midland send consoles out to be fixed. We repair yours ourselves, on our own bench in Barrie, with free parking right out front.

Why Mail It Away When One Trip To Barrie Fixes It?

The manufacturer's repair center can charge $270-$330 for the same HDMI port we replace for $199. On top of that, you ship your console across the country, wait 2-3 weeks, and hope they don't wipe your save data "as a precaution." Or drop it off in Barrie, make one trip down Hwy 93 and Hwy 400 from Midland, and be usually back gaming that same night. Your call.

A Fried Port Looks Worse Than You'd Think

Once an HDMI port goes, it's not subtle under magnification — bent pins, scorched pads, sometimes a port that's fully detached from the board. This is what we're actually looking at before we get to work.

That's not a bad cable. That's a dead port.

Old port fully desoldered — not just patched over
Pads properly prepped so solder flows clean — no shortcuts
New port aligned, tested, and reflowed properly
$199 flat, and usually back in your hands the same day

FIX MY HDMI PORT — $199

Most HDMI failures come from a yanked cable or a bad connection, not old age. If it's loose or dead, it's not fixing itself.

Your PS5 Shouldn't Sound Like It's Preparing For Takeoff

A PS5 pulls air through a fan the size of a dinner plate. After a few years in a Midland living room it is pulling through dust and pet hair. The fan screams. Then the console shuts itself off mid-match.

That is not the console dying. That is the console asking to be cleaned.

Full teardown, dust removal, and cleanout
Liquid metal reapplied and corrected
Thermal-tested under load before it leaves
$170, and usually back within 24 hours

COOL MY PS5 DOWN — $170

Most consoles three years old or older are overdue. If it is loud now, it has already been overheating.
