Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair PS5 controllers with stick drift?
Yes. We repair stick drift on PS5 DualSense controllers, as well as PS4 controllers, whether the joystick moves on its own or does not register input accurately.
What causes controller stick drift, and can it come back after a repair?
Stick drift usually comes from worn potentiometers inside the analog stick module, along with dust or debris. Standard replacement parts can wear the same way over time, which is why we also offer Hall Effect stick modules, a magnetic sensor design built to resist the wear that causes drift, for a longer-lasting fix.
Do you repair Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift too?
Yes. Joy-Con drift is one of the most common Nintendo Switch issues we see, and we repair both the analog stick and connection problems.
My PS5 or Xbox will not read discs. Can that be fixed?
Usually, yes. The disc drive is a replaceable component, so a console that will not read, load, or eject discs often just needs the drive unit serviced or swapped rather than a full console replacement.
Why does my console overheat, and how often should it be cleaned?
Dust buildup inside the console blocks airflow and traps heat over time, which is the leading cause of overheating and shutdowns. We recommend a professional cleaning roughly once a year for consoles used daily, similar to routine maintenance on a PC.
How long does console or controller repair take?
Most controller repairs, including stick drift, are typically ready the next day. Console repairs like HDMI, overheating, or disc drive issues are also usually next-day once the cause is confirmed.
What types of joystick sensors do you use for stick drift repair?
For stick drift repairs we can install OEM-style potentiometers, Hall Effect sensors, or TMR modules, depending on your controller and the durability you want. After installation, we test and calibrate the joysticks so input feels accurate before we return the controller.
