PS5 showing “no signal”? Xbox dead? A Switch that won't charge — or an N64 that deserves a comeback?

Same-Day Console Repair
The PS5 “No Signal” Fix Nobody in Gaston County Does In-House
The most common PS5 failure is a damaged HDMI port — and fixing it right means micro-soldering a new port onto the board under a microscope, not shipping your console away for weeks. We do it in-house, same-day, for $109: drop your PS5 off by 5 PM and pick it up fixed the same evening — later drop-offs are ready first thing the next morning. Xbox HDMI ports, consoles that won't power on, overheating shutdowns, disc drive failures, and controller drift too — one 30-minute drive beats three weeks of mail-in every time.
Retro Console Repair
The Consoles in Your Attic Deserve Better
NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1 and 2, original Xbox, Game Boy — we repair the classics no shop between here and Charlotte will touch. Cartridge readers, power supplies, corroded battery compartments, controller ports, AV output. Bring the kids' generation and yours in the same trip; one drive covers both.

More Reasons Gaston County Comes to Us
Not just consoles — these are the repairs Gaston County residents can't get done locally.
MacBook Repair, Without the Apple Store Quote
Dead MacBook? Liquid spill? Battery or screen? We repair MacBooks at board level under a microscope — from $149–$300 for repairs the Apple Store quotes $700+ to solve with a full board swap that wipes your data. Ours keeps it. Free diagnostic, firm quote, and there's no Apple Store in Gaston County anyway — we're the closer option for real Mac work.

Drone Repair — One of the Few Shops Anywhere Nearby
Crashed your DJI on a Crowders Mountain weekend or a lake flight gone wrong? We repair drones in-house — gimbals and cameras, arms and propellers, boards, and post-crash water damage — instead of the weeks-long mail-in every manufacturer pushes. Gaston County pilots: you finally have a local option.

Data Recovery From Dead Devices
Photos trapped in a phone or laptop that won't turn on? We recover data in-house from $99, with a free diagnostic first �� you'll know the odds and the price before spending a dime. If a shop closer to home said the data's gone, get a second opinion before you give up.

Micro-Soldering & Board Repair
'Needs a new motherboard' usually means one failed chip. We repair the board itself under a microscope — MacBooks, laptops, phones, and consoles — for a fraction of replacement cost, from $149.

Common Questions
Gastonia FAQ
Gastonia has phone repair shops. Why would I drive 30 minutes?+
For a cracked screen, a local shop is a fair choice. People make the drive for what Gaston County doesn't have: same-day board-level console repair (PS5 HDMI ports especially), retro console work, real MacBook repair, drone repair, data recovery from dead devices, and micro-soldering. If the alternative is mailing your console or drone away for three weeks, 30 minutes up I-85 wins.
My PS5 turns on but the TV says no signal. What's wrong?+
Nine times out of ten, that's a damaged HDMI port — usually from a cord yank or a bent plug. It's a board-level repair we do in-house, same-day, for $109: drop it off by 5 PM and pick it up fixed the same evening (later drop-offs are ready first thing the next morning). Don't keep reseating the cable; a damaged port can get worse.
Can you really fix an old Nintendo or Sega?+
Yes — retro repair is one of our specialties. Cartridge slots, power issues, corroded battery bays, controller ports, video output. If it played games in the '80s, '90s, or 2000s, we can usually bring it back for less than collectors charge for a replacement.
Is it worth one trip, or will I have to come back?+
Usually one trip does it: PS5 repairs and standard phone repairs are same-day, so you can drop off, grab lunch or run errands, and drive home with it fixed. Bigger jobs like board-level MacBook work or data recovery take a few days — we'll text you when it's ready. Call ahead with the symptoms and we'll have parts staged before you leave Gastonia.
What does a diagnostic cost?+
Nothing. Free diagnostic, firm quote before any work, and if we can't fix it, you don't pay for the repair. Every repair carries our 90-day workmanship warranty.
My phone won't turn on and my photos aren't backed up. Can you help?+
Usually, yes — we do board-level data recovery in-house, even from phones that are beyond saving as phones. Bring it as-is, and don't let anyone attempt a risky repair first; failed attempts are the biggest cause of unrecoverable data.
