Switch and Switch 2 repairs
The faults that bring most Switches to us:
Joy-Con drift
Characters walking on their own, menus scrolling by themselves. We replace the worn stick components on Joy-Cons for every model.
Screen repair
Cracked LCD on the original and Lite, cracked OLED on the Switch OLED, and Switch 2 displays. See also screen repair Bournemouth.
Battery replacement
No longer lasts a session away from the dock. New batteries for Switch, OLED, Lite and Switch 2 — more on battery replacement Bournemouth.
USB-C charging port
Won’t charge, charges intermittently or won’t sit in the dock properly. We repair or replace the port.
Shells, kickstands and rails
Cracked back plates, snapped kickstands and worn Joy-Con rails replaced so everything clicks together firmly.
Docks and card readers
Docks that won’t send a picture to the TV, and game card or microSD readers that stop recognising cartridges.

Nintendo Switch repair prices in Bournemouth
Fixing one Joy-Con stick is much cheaper than a Switch OLED screen or a GameCube drive. We diagnose first and give you a clear, fixed quote.
No hidden charges and no extra work without your consent. See guide prices on the booking page.
Nintendo hardware treated with care — not a pop-up job
On a Switch, the display is glued down, the cables inside a Joy-Con are minute, and decades-old boards are fragile. We work patiently and test every console with real games before collection.
Behind us is CrC Repair®: ten shops, and repairs since 2004. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
