Yes. At Seki Gadgets in Canberra we repair Joy-Con and Switch Lite stick drift, and we quote PlayStation DualSense and Xbox controllers per controller. Stick drift repairs with a factory or original replacement stick carry a 3-month warranty, and TMR joystick upgrades carry our lifetime warranty.

Seki Gadgets covers component and board-level repairs with our lifetime warranty: HDMI ports, USB and charging ports, disc drives and other board-level work, genuine chips fitted in microsoldering, and a new fan fitted during a service. Thermal service, cleaning and batteries carry 12 months. Liquid damage is not covered. If you are unsure which tier your repair falls into, ask us in the quote form.

Most console repairs at Seki Gadgets in Canberra currently take 1 to 3 working days, based on our live workshop queue. Board-level faults can take longer, depending on parts and diagnosis, and we give you the timeframe with your written quote. If you post your console to us, add Australia Post transit time each way. Express mail-in gives you same-day diagnosis when your console arrives before 12 pm.

Switch it off and let it cool, then stand it somewhere open and ventilated, away from carpet, bedding and direct sun. Playing on while it is hot risks further damage. At Seki Gadgets in Canberra we strip the console down, clean the cooling system and renew the thermal compound: liquid metal on the PS5, thermal paste on the PS4, Xbox and Switch. Thermal service carries our 12-month warranty.

Your games and saves normally stay as they are. Console repairs at Seki Gadgets work on the hardware, not your storage, and we don't reset your console. As good practice before any repair, back up your saves with your console's cloud saves or a backup of your own. If you post your console to us from outside Canberra, we handle it the same way at our Franklin workshop.
