Console Repair FAQ

I have a disc which will not come out of my console.

If I have it repaired, will I lose the disc?
This is a common occurrence and our system is designed to help you with getting your disc back. Many console failures cause a disc to be trapped inside of the dead system. We recommend when you create the order, or at any time through the order comments section, you should indicate the disc name with the repair order. This will ensure that your assigned technician locates the disc during the repair service and they will return it with the completed repair. It is also recommended to include the empty disc case for us to return the disc in the original protective case.

When you diagnose and repair a machine, is it cleaned?

Every unit needs a good cleaning…
We clean every system which goes through our process at many levels. Our facility uses a highly powered central vacuum system which is designed to remove even the most stubborn particles. Additionally, when we dissasemble the unit we can access many of the nooks and crannies which house debris and dust which can get sucked into the unit through the fans. We see dust as one of the main reason for failures and we will remove any blockage to keep the unit breathing fresh clean air as intended. You get all this with every repair order as a total service with no additional charge.

I would like to take advantage of same day services.

We have Same Day Services available
We offer same day service for certain errors and repairs, however during high volume periods we may need to charge an expedite fee to put you ahead of other paying customers. Please be aware that for YOUR protection, we test ALL repaired systems for a minimum of 4-6 hours after the repairs are completed so please allow us the time for quality assurance testing to finish. We will always continually update your order with email updates as our process completes and will post the order status to “READY FOR STORE PICKUP” when you can rush in to pickup the repaired system.

We repair hundreds of consoles regularly and we have all of the necessary cables and accessories to test your unit. Minimum requirement is for us to receive the console for the repairs required. If you are having power issues, please be certain to send the power supply, ac adapter, or power cable you use with the system. It is recommended to send as many items as you would like us to check with your repair order. Our engineers will test everything that you send with the order, however if you require specific items or tests to be completed just mention it with the repair order. You can always update the order with a comment which will go right to the tech who is working with your system.

Our service is setup to help you by receiving the system and providing a correct estimate for the actual repair required by your unit. Our experience shows that some errors can be corrected with specific cleaning/refurbishing of the internal electronics in the system, while other repairs require replacement parts. Due to the many different models and internal parts which are different based on the model system, replacement part pricing is provided based on YOUR particular system and repair required.

I have already taken the unit apart and could not repair, will this be a problem?

We receive systems in virtually every condition. Our services do not have issue with previous repair attempts, however we ask that you provide some detail in the order to help your engineer understand the amount of effort you put into the repair attempt. The more honest detail you offer will allow your technician to avoid extended diagnostics which will keep your repair services fast and accurate. Make certain to secure loose parts in Ziploc bags to avoid parts becoming lost or missing. Remember that we have all parts in stock, however if you supply the non damaged parts we will use them to complete the repair of the system. Basically, just update your order, and be certain to secure the loose parts in the system to ensure safe delivery.
