Beyond a basic part swap
Ports and board faults call for a closer look.
HDMI, power, drive, and motherboard symptoms can point to damage below the surface. Compupod can assess standard repairs and precision board-level work, then tell you whether that route makes sense for the console.

Still unsure? Text the exact model and a photo when the issue is visible.
Which consoles and handhelds can I bring in?
Compupod’s repair catalog includes PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and DS-family systems, Steam Deck OLED, docks, and common controllers. Support depends on the exact model, fault, and part availability, so text the model before visiting when possible. Brand names identify compatible device families and do not imply manufacturer authorization.
Can Compupod repair HDMI and board-level problems?
Yes. The team’s documented repair work includes HDMI repairs for PlayStation and Xbox consoles and motherboard-level work on supported Nintendo systems. An inspection is needed to confirm the failure and whether board-level repair is the right option.
Can I get a price before bringing in the console?
The model and symptoms can help the team start the conversation, but a reliable estimate may require inspection, identification of the failed component, and confirmation of current part availability.
What does the 90-day limited repair warranty cover?
The limited warranty covers the parts and labor associated with the repair performed for 90 days. It excludes accidental or water damage, self-caused damage, third-party work, and tampering. The in-store disclaimer must be signed for the warranty to be valid.
