BARRIE'S PS5 & XBOX REPAIR SHOP — SERVING BRACEBRIDGE, PORT CARLING, BAYSVILLE & MUSKOKA

Bracebridge Console Repair — PlayStation & Xbox FIXED SAME DAY

Console repair in Bracebridge usually comes down to two things: a dead HDMI port or a PS5/Xbox that overheats and shuts off. We fix both same day once you're booked in. Barrie is about an hour down Hwy 11.

Drop it off in the morning and it's usually ready by evening. $199 flat for HDMI, $170 for overheating, with a 90-day warranty. One trip beats weeks of mail-in waiting.

Why Muskoka Gamers Make The Trip To Barrie

Yes, it's an hour each way. Here's why people from Bracebridge still make the drive.
01

Muskoka Has No Local Board-Level Shop

Around Bracebridge, Port Carling and Baysville, most shops can't solder a console motherboard, so they ship yours out and you wait. We replace the ports and redo the liquid metal ourselves, on our own bench in Barrie.
02

One Drive Instead Of A Month

Mail-in repairs take 2-4 weeks, and longer once the snow comes. Our HDMI and overheating repairs are usually done the same day, once the part's on hand. Drop it off in the morning and you're back up Hwy 11 with it by dinner.
03

The Price Is Set Before You Leave

It's $199 for HDMI and $170 for overheating, and those prices are flat. Text us before you leave Bracebridge and we'll confirm the part is on the shelf, so an hour's drive is never for nothing.
Worth the drive

90 Km / 1 Hour From Barrie

Nobody in Muskoka does board-level console work, so most local shops ship it out. We repair yours in Barrie, an easy hour down Hwy 11, and you can park for free right at the door.

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

Sony and Microsoft charge $269-$329 for the HDMI port we replace for $199. On top of that, you ship it out of Muskoka, wait 2-3 weeks, and hope your saves survive the trip. Or bring it to Barrie, drive an hour back up Hwy 11, and be gaming at the cottage tonight.

Here's What's Wrong With Your HDMI Port

Under a microscope, a dead HDMI port leaves no doubt: crushed pins, torn or burnt pads, and sometimes a port that's come loose from the board altogether. We look at all of that before the repair begins.

Swapping cables won't help. The port itself is finished.

  • Old port cleanly desoldered and removed
  • Pads prepped for a strong, clean joint
  • Fresh port fitted, soldered and picture-tested
  • $199 flat, typically ready the same day
Most dead ports happen when a cable gets yanked or a console is packed for the cottage while still plugged in. They don't recover on their own.

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

A PS5 pulls air through a fan about the size of a dinner plate. Add a few years at a Muskoka cottage or a Bracebridge rec room, with dust, dog hair and fireplace smoke, and that fan is clogged. First the fan gets loud, then the console starts switching itself off mid-game.

It's not failing. It just can't breathe.

  • Full strip-down and thorough dust removal
  • New liquid metal, applied properly
  • Load-tested for heat before it leaves
  • $170, normally ready within 24 hours
If it's three or more years old and the fan is getting louder, it's already running too hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Muskoka Gamers Ask Before Making The Drive
We're at 474 Grove St E in Barrie, about an hour from Bracebridge straight down Hwy 11. From Port Carling or Baysville, allow a bit more. Free parking right out front makes drop-off quick.
For most people, yes. HDMI and overheating repairs are usually done the same day once the part's on hand, so it's one round trip. Mailing it to Sony or Microsoft means 2-3 weeks without your console and shipping both ways.
$199 flat for an HDMI port and $170 for overheating. No-power repairs start at $249+ because the cause varies. We confirm the price before any work starts.
Every console repair includes a 90-day warranty. If the same problem comes back within that window, bring it back and we'll make it right.
We haven't found a Muskoka shop that does board-level console repair. HDMI ports have to be micro-soldered onto the motherboard, so most local shops ship them out. We do the work in-house, usually same day.
No. HDMI and overheating repairs don't touch your storage, so your games and saves come back exactly as they were. Some manufacturer repair centres wipe consoles. We don't.
Text us and we'll move your drop-off to another day, no problem. Booking ahead also means we can have your part ready, so you're in and out quickly when the roads are clear.
Monday to Friday, 10am-7pm and Saturday-Sunday, 11am-4pm. If you're driving down from Bracebridge, aim to arrive before noon for the best chance of same-day pickup.
