Xbox consoles we repair in Farringdon
Four generations of Microsoft hardware, plus the pads that go with them:
Other consoles are listed on console repair Farringdon, and Sony owners can go straight to PlayStation repair Farringdon. The national Xbox repair page covers all ten CrC Repair® stores.
Xbox controller drift repair in Farringdon
Thumbstick drift turns up on every Xbox pad sooner or later: the camera slides off target, menus scroll by themselves, or your player jogs away without you. Rather than sending you off to buy a new controller, we swap the worn stick module for a new one.
We also sort out face buttons that have stopped responding, sticky bumpers and D-pads, triggers, rumble motors, charging sockets, headset jacks and loose battery covers. Every controller repair is guaranteed for a year.
Xbox One repair, Xbox Series X repair and other console faults
We test first, so the quote covers only what’s actually broken:
Xbox HDMI port repair Farringdon
A Series X or One that powers up and pairs with the pad, yet leaves the screen black, nearly always has a worn HDMI socket. We solder in a new port, usually on the same day. Twelve months’ cover.
Overheating and shutdowns
A fan that roars non-stop, overheating warnings or a console that simply cuts out — the cure is normally a full strip-down, a dust clean and new thermal paste. One-year warranty.
Optical drive faults
Games that spin without loading, a drive that grinds or clicks, or a tray stuck shut. Optical drives on the Series X, the One range and the 360 are repaired or replaced. Guaranteed for a year.
No power or boot loops
Nothing when you press the button, a single click, or the start-up animation on repeat. We test the PSU, motherboard and system software in turn to pin the fault down. Twelve months’ cover.
SSD upgrades and storage
Speed up an Xbox One by moving it to an SSD, replace a hard disk that’s failing, or have Series X internal storage repaired. We reinstall the software and look after your data. One-year warranty.
USB sockets and expansion-card slots
Broken USB sockets and Series X|S storage-expansion slots that no longer read the card are repaired at the Long Lane counter. Covered for a year.
Wi-Fi, pairing and NAT
Pads that won’t connect, Wi-Fi that keeps dropping or NAT type warnings. Testing shows whether it’s hardware or settings, and we fix whichever it is. Twelve months’ cover.
Error codes and software
Error codes that keep returning, corrupted firmware, problems logging in to Xbox network or updates that never finish. If a system reset is needed, we agree how to protect your saves before starting. One-year warranty.
Xbox 360 Red Ring repair at our Farringdon store
Three red segments lit around the power button are the 360’s best-known failure. Heat builds up and cools down over thousands of sessions until the solder under the graphics processor cracks. A reflow or a reball can bring many of these consoles back, although early motherboards fare worse than later ones.
Before quoting, we inspect the board and tell you honestly how likely a revival is. As this is chip-level soldering, a Red Ring repair is guaranteed for three months, unless your written quote states a longer period.

Xbox repair prices in Farringdon
An Xbox One SSD upgrade and a 360 reball are very different jobs, so the price depends on your model and what’s gone wrong. You’ll get a clear figure before we start, and that’s the amount you pay at collection.
For a guide price, try the Xbox booking tool, or have the console assessed free of charge at Long Lane.
Careful Xbox soldering — not a pop-up job
HDMI sockets and graphics chips sit on dense, multi-layer boards where one slip with a soldering iron can lift a pad for good. Our technicians use proper rework stations, take the time the job needs, and play-test each Xbox with a pad on a real screen before we ring you to collect it.
Long Lane is one of ten UK branches run by the award-winning CrC Repair® team. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
How we approach every job is set out on our high-quality repairs page.

Xboxes we sell

Finding our Farringdon shop with your Xbox
You’ll find us at 77 Long Lane, City of London, EC1A 9ET, with Barbican and Farringdon stations close by, and a Costa Coffee and a Pret nearby for a coffee while you wait. We open Monday to Friday, 9am until 5pm, so a console left with us early in the week is often home again long before Saturday.
Easy to carry
A Series S or a couple of pads fit in a work bag; a Series X is a short carry from either station.
Drop off, then collect
Leave it on your way in and pick it up at five — HDMI and pad jobs are regularly finished by then.
