Let’s get one thing straight: nobody ever admits to rage-quitting Mario Kart.
And yet, here you are—joy-con dangling, HDMI port bent, with a PlayStation that sounds like it’s trying to take flight. Maybe you just wanted “one more game.” Maybe your kid “accidentally” dropped the Switch in the popcorn bowl during movie night at the Cundles North Cineplex.

Either way, your gaming system is down, and the entire household mood is at DEFCON 1.
Don’t panic! Barrie has your back. Here’s how to get your Nintendo, PlayStation, or Xbox fixed by real gamers who understand that saving your Animal Crossing island is, in fact, an emergency.

Why Go Local for Console Repairs?

• Fast Turnaround:
  No shipping your console to Toronto or “sending it to Sony.” Barrie Screeen Repair will have you back to button-mashing faster than a Tim Hortons drive-thru.
• Real People, Real Solutions:
  You’ll talk to someone who knows the difference between HDMI and “that weird red/white/yellow cable.” (And won’t try to upsell you a printer.)
• Honest Prices:
  Quotes that won’t give you a heart attack—just straightforward, fair repairs.
• We Play, Too:
  (Yes, even Fortnite, Zelda, Mario and the latest Death Stranding 2 even though we’re old.)

The Most Common Console Repairs in Barrie

Nintendo Switch

• Joy-Con Drift:
  You’re not hallucinating—your character is running left by itself.
• Broken Screens:
  Dropped in a car, thrown at a sibling, or just, you know, “it happened.”
• Charging Port/USB-C Issues:
  Plug doesn’t click? We fix that.
• Dock Issues:
  The Switch refuses to show up on your TV. (It’s not hiding; it’s just broken.)

PlayStation (PS4/PS5)

• HDMI Port Damage:
  That’s not a “special mode”—it’s a loose or busted HDMI port.
• No Power, Beeping, Overheating:
  It’s a PlayStation, not a space heater.
• Disc Drive Problems:
  Stuck discs, “whirring” noises, or a drive that eats games for lunch.

Xbox (One, Series X/S)

• No Video/HDMI Damage:
  If you have to hold the cable “just so,” it’s time for a real fix.
• Power Issues:
  Console powers on, then off again, usually right before you win.
• USB Port Issues:
  No controller charging? We’ll get you reconnected.

What Does It Cost?

• Nintendo Switch screen/port repair: $125–$199
• Joy-Con drift repair: $40–$60 per controller
• HDMI port replacement (PS/Xbox): $199
• Other issues: Honest quotes, fair prices, no “mystery labor fees.”

Pro Tip: If someone offers to fix your HDMI port for $30, run. It costs more because it’s harder than winning Rainbow Road with a steering wheel.

The Repair Process: Easier Than a Tutorial Level

1. Call, text, or just walk in. We’re right here in Barrie—no need to FedEx your system.
2. Diagnosis:
   We’ll figure out what’s wrong (even if you’re not sure). Sometimes it’s two problems in a trench coat.
3. Approve the quote:
   No surprises, no upcharges, just facts.
4. Go get a BeaverTail at the waterfront while you wait.
   (We’re jealous.)
5. Pick up your fixed console and reclaim your leaderboard spot.
