Joy-Con drift repair in Norwich
If your character keeps walking when you’re not touching the stick, that’s drift — the sensor inside the Joy-Con stick has worn out. It’s the most common Nintendo fault by far, and replacing the controllers isn’t necessary.
Fresh stick modules go into launch-era Joy-Cons, the pair sold with the OLED and the newer Joy-Con 2, often while you wait. Loose rails and unresponsive buttons can be sorted at the same time, all with twelve months’ cover.
Switch repairs we carry out in Norwich
Every console tested and quoted before we begin:
Switch, OLED and Lite screens
Splintered glass, streaks in the image or patches that ignore your finger. Good-quality displays for all three models, with a year’s guarantee.
Switch 2 repairs
The bigger Switch 2 display is vulnerable to cracks from a small fall. We replace its screen, battery and USB-C port, guaranteed for twelve months.
Charging port faults
Charging only at a certain angle, or not charging in the dock. We repair or replace the USB-C port on every Switch model.
Switch battery replacement
Battery running flat halfway through a journey? A new battery restores hours of play. More on battery replacement Norwich.
Dock and TV output
No picture on the TV or no charge in the dock. We test the dock, console and cable individually to pin down the fault.
Game cards, casings and software
Game cards or microSD not recognised, cracked shells, snapped kickstands, error codes and failed updates — fixed with twelve months’ cover.

Classic Nintendo repairs in Norwich
Game Boys, DS consoles and older home systems:
Handheld screens
Scratched, cracked or faded screens on DS, 3DS and Game Boy handhelds replaced, with a one-year guarantee.
Hinges and ribbon cables
A broken hinge on a folding DS or 3DS wears through the ribbon cable until the top screen flickers or dies. We replace both.
Buttons, sticks and cartridge slots
Spongy D-pads, buttons that no longer respond, a floppy N64 stick or a cartridge reader that’s given up. Soldering carries three months’ cover, or the period stated on your quote.
How much is Nintendo repair in Norwich?
A Joy-Con stick is a small repair, while a Switch 2 screen is a larger one. The price depends on the model and fault, and we confirm it after testing.
We never start without your go-ahead. See a guide price on our Nintendo repair booking, or ask us in store.
Patient Switch repairs — not a pop-up job
Inside a Switch you’ll find tiny tri-wing screws, delicate ribbon cables and adhesive that can damage the touch layer if rushed. We work unhurriedly and try the whole set-up — console, controllers and dock — before handing it back.
Consoles have been part of CrC Repair®’s work since 2004, across what are now ten branches. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
