Nintendo Switch repair — the faults we fix most
Joy-Con drift repair Wolverhampton
Characters walking off by themselves or menus scrolling without a touch — the classic Joy-Con problem, caused by wear inside the stick. We repair or replace the stick on Joy-Cons for the Switch and Switch OLED, as well as the newer Joy-Con 2 controllers, usually the same day. One-year warranty.
Switch OLED and Switch Lite screens
Cracked glass, lines across the display or a touchscreen that no longer responds. We replace screens on the original Switch, the OLED model and the Lite with quality parts. One-year warranty.
Switch 2 screen repair
The Switch 2 has a larger display than earlier models, and a crack can spread quickly. We fit quality replacement screens to restore the picture and touch response. One-year warranty.
Switch charging port repair
The console won’t charge, only charges at an angle or isn’t recognised by the dock. A worn USB-C port is the usual cause, and we repair or replace it on every Switch model. One-year warranty.
Switch battery replacement
If your Switch runs flat long before the journey ends, a new battery gives it back its handheld stamina. Available for every Switch model, including the Lite and Switch 2. Covered for a year.
Dock and TV connection faults
No picture on the TV or no charging while docked can be the dock, the console’s port or the HDMI lead. Bring the Switch and dock together and we will find out which. One-year warranty.
Cracked shells and kickstands
Broken back plates, snapped kickstands and damaged Joy-Con rails are replaced across the Switch family. One-year warranty.
Game card and microSD slots
Games that won’t read or a memory card that isn’t detected point to a damaged slot or reader, which we can repair or replace. One-year warranty.
Software and error codes
Error messages, eShop connection problems, failed updates and boot loops are fixed regularly. One-year warranty.
Repairs for Wii U, Wii, DS, 3DS and Game Boy
DS, 3DS and Game Boy screens
Cracked, dead or faded screens are the most common problem on older handhelds. We fit quality top and bottom screens on DS and 3DS models and replacement displays on Game Boys. One-year warranty.
DS and 3DS hinges
A cracked hinge often damages the ribbon cable running through it, leading to a flickering or blank top screen. We repair hinges and cables on DS Lite, 3DS XL and similar models. One-year warranty.
Buttons and sticks
Unresponsive D-pads, sticky buttons, worn shoulder buttons and loose analogue sticks, from an N64 controller to a 3DS XL. One-year warranty.
Handheld batteries
A DS that lasts minutes or a GBA SP that only works plugged in needs a fresh battery. We replace them across the handheld range. One-year warranty.
Wii U and Wii disc drives
Discs that won’t read, grinding noises or discs stuck inside. We repair or replace the drive. One-year warranty.
Wii U HDMI and overheating
A Wii U with no picture often has a faulty HDMI port, and one that shuts down mid-game usually needs a clean and fresh thermal paste. We handle both. One-year warranty.
Retro Nintendo repairs in Wolverhampton
Old Nintendo hardware still gets plenty of play. We regularly replace Game Boy screens, including IPS screen upgrades on the Game Boy Color and Advance, fit new batteries, clean N64 cartridge slots and repair GameCube disc drives.
Some retro faults need board-level soldering, such as replacing ageing capacitors; for that type of work our cover is three months, unless your quote says differently. We always assess a retro console first and give you an honest view of what is possible.
Buy or sell a Nintendo Switch in Wolverhampton
Buy a tested pre-owned Switch
Every pre-owned console on our shelf has been tested by the repair team and is sold with two years’ cover. Stock changes, so ask what’s in.

Nintendo repair prices in Wolverhampton
The cost depends on the console, the model and what has gone wrong. Before any tool comes out, you’ll know the price, we never carry out work you haven’t agreed, and there is nothing extra to pay at collection.
Use our online Nintendo repair booking for a guide price, or bring the console in.
From Switch 2 to Game Boy — not a pop-up job
A new Switch 2 and a thirty-year-old Game Boy need different skills, but both deserve the same care. We diagnose the fault properly, explain the options, repair the console methodically and test it before you collect.
We are one of ten shops in the award-winning CrC Repair® network. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
