Notice: General repairs & mods are temporarily paused, but our Nintendo Switch modchip service is running as usual! Thanks for your patience.

Important Service Update: Repairs Temporarily Paused

Due to an overwhelming demand for our console modification services, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend all future repair bookings.

Over the past year, repair enquiries have grown to the point where the time required for diagnosing faults, sourcing replacement parts, quoting and managing repairs has become unsustainable for our small team. Rather than continuing to accept work we can't complete in a reasonable timeframe, we've decided to temporarily pause repairs so we can focus on the services we're best known for.

What We're Still Accepting
Nintendo Switch Modchip Installations
SSD Upgrades, Softmods and CFW
Other console modification and micro-soldering projects

What We Are NOT Still Accepting
Controller Repairs
Water Damaged Consoles
USB / HDMI Port Replacements
Shell Swaps (Switch, Steam Deck, Gameboy, N64, GC & more)
Battery Replacements
Consoles with partially completed or failed modification attempts that require repair or diagnostic work before the modification can be completed.

Our Nintendo Switch modchip installation service remains our primary focus and is operating as normal, albeit with longer than usual turnaround times.

Other Console Modifications

Modification work for consoles other than the Nintendo Switch is still available; however, please note that our response times for these inquiries may be slower than usual due to the high volume of emails we receive.

When Will Repairs Return?

This is a temporary measure. We fully intend to resume repair services in the future once we're in a position to offer the level of service and turnaround times you deserve.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's patience and continued support. As a small two-person team, your understanding allows us to maintain the quality of our work rather than overextending ourselves.
