Why Bradford Gamers Head North To Barrie

It’s about 35 minutes up the 400. Here’s why people from Bradford make the drive instead of heading into the city.
01

North Beats Southbound Traffic

Heading south from Bradford means 400 gridlock and city parking. Heading north to Barrie is usually a clear run. We replace the ports and redo the liquid metal ourselves, on our own bench, so it never gets shipped out.
02

Same Day Instead Of Weeks

Shipped-out repairs take 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer. 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 in Bradford 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 Bradford and we’ll confirm the part is on the shelf, so the drive up is never for nothing.
Worth the drive

40 Km / 35 Min From Barrie

It’s a straight run up Hwy 400, usually against the traffic. We’re a few minutes off the highway in Barrie. Park for free right at the door and you’re in and out.

Why Ship It Off When A Short Drive Up The 400 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 Bradford, wait 2-3 weeks, and hope your saves survive the trip. Or drive 35 minutes up to Barrie and be gaming again 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 gets packed for a move 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 in a Bradford basement or a new-build rec room, with dust, pet hair and drywall dust from the builder, 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 Bradford Gamers Ask Before Making The Drive
We’re at 474 Grove St E in Barrie, about 35 minutes from Bradford straight up Hwy 400. From Bond Head, it’s about the same. Free parking right out front makes drop-off quick.
You can, but heading south means traffic, parking, and often a console that gets shipped out anyway. Heading north is usually a clear drive, and we do the repair on our own bench, usually the same day, once the part is on hand.
$199 flat for HDMI port replacement and $170 for overheating repairs. No-power repairs start from $249, depending on what we find. We quote before we touch anything, so there are no surprises when you pick it up.
Every repair comes with a 90-day warranty on parts and labour. If the same problem comes back in that window, bring it in and we’ll make it right.
We can’t speak for every shop in town. The question to ask is whether they solder the port in-house or ship it out. That’s what decides whether you wait a day or a few weeks.
No. HDMI and overheating repairs don’t touch your storage, so your saves stay exactly where you left them. We don’t wipe consoles as a precaution.
Snow squalls can roll through north of Bradford. If the weather turns, just call or text and we’ll move your booking. Your spot isn’t lost.
Monday to Friday, 10am–7pm, and weekends 11am–4pm. Call or text ahead so we know you’re coming up from Bradford and can have the part ready.
