For a no-power diagnosis specifically, call or email ahead rather than dropping in. It's bench work that needs real focus, so we'd rather plan the time properly than have you wait around while we fit it in around other repairs.

Got an older Xbox? Give us a call — we'll be honest about whether we take it on.
HDMI and overheating have one clear cause and one clear fix — we know what we're looking for before we open the console. No-power can be a dozen different things: a blown fuse, a failed capacitor, a dead voltage regulator, deeper board damage. We have to test our way to the actual fault rather than swap a known part, which takes real bench time.
Usually 5–10 days. Straightforward faults can be quicker; anything requiring deeper board-level chasing takes longer, since we're testing methodically rather than guessing.
Honestly — it's not guaranteed. Some no-power faults are a quick part swap. Others turn out to be damage that isn't economical or possible to repair. We won't know for certain until we diagnose it, and we'll always tell you straight once we do.
We do everything possible to preserve your data, and it's usually intact — a no-power fault is a hardware issue, not a storage issue. That said, on more involved repairs there's a small chance the drive is affected, and we'll flag that immediately if we see it.
It happens. If the damage is too extensive or the cost outweighs the console's value, we reassemble it and hand it back as-is — you only owe the diagnostic fee, nothing more.
Yes — 90 days on parts and labour, same as our other console repairs, once a successful fix is completed.
Because the diagnostic itself is the hard part. HDMI and overheating are flat-rate because the fix is known. No-power pricing reflects the time it takes to actually find the fault, which varies console to console.
Less often than PS5 — Xbox no-power is a rarer repair for us, which means less repetition and pattern-matching than something we see daily. We treat every one carefully rather than rushing it, which is part of why it takes the time it does.
For a no-power diagnosis specifically, call or email ahead rather than dropping in. It's bench work that needs real focus, so we'd rather plan the time properly than have you wait around while we fit it in around other repairs.
