Gaming consoles repair

Xbox game reader repair

Fixing consoles that will not read game cards or cartridges.

What you will be seeing

If any of these describe your Xbox, this is the repair you need.

  • Game card not recognised
  • Cartridge slot does not read anything
  • Games load intermittently
  • Error message when inserting a game
  • Slot is blocked or damaged

How we do it

We inspect and clean the card reader first, since debris is a common cause. If the reader itself has failed we replace the assembly and test it across several games before returning the console.

Parts

Where a repair has more than one grade of part we list both, with both prices, and you choose. We do not fit a cheaper part than the one you paid for, and we do not quote for a premium part and fit a standard one.

This one depends on your exact model and on what has actually failed, so we have not published a figure we cannot stand behind. Bring it in and the diagnostic is free.
