“A bad thunderstorm knocked power out in our street, and when it kicked back on, my Series X wouldn't turn on at all. ConsoleFix fixed the blown power board parts and saved me R10,000 on having to buy a whole new console. Super friendly service on WhatsApp.”

“Both my PS5 controllers had crazy stick drift in Warzone—my gun kept aiming straight up at the sky. Upgraded both to magnetic Hall Effect sticks. The drift is 100% gone, zero deadzone needed, and courier collection in Cape Town was effortless.”

“My son jammed a cheap phone charger into the Switch and bent the pins inside. It wouldn't charge or turn on. Courier collected it from our home in Port Elizabeth, and 3 days later it was back working like new on our TV.”
