Specialist repair and trade-in services
Pick the closest service path, review the essentials, then start the matching request.
Board work
Microsoldering and board repair
Board-level diagnostics and repair for consoles, handhelds, laptops, desktop boards, and hard-to-source electronics.
Best for HDMI ports, USB-C and charging circuits, no-power faults, liquid damage review, trace repair, connector repair, and prior repair recovery. Include the device, symptoms, prior work, and any urgency.
Game systems
Console repair
Modern and vintage game-system service for power, display, storage, drives, cooling, and diagnostic issues.
Retro & Rare can triage Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, handheld, and unusual console projects. Customers should describe the issue, model, serial if available, and whether another shop or self-repair attempt already happened.
Display
CRT, PVM/BVM, and arcade service
Specialist review for CRT displays, arcade CRTs, vintage video hardware, and display-adjacent repair work.
Use the intake for power issues, geometry concerns, convergence, intermittent video, arcade chassis questions, or PVM/BVM projects. The shop can follow up with safe handling, local drop-off, or mail-in instructions when appropriate.
Controls
Controller repair and upgrades
Controller drift repair, button issues, customization, restoration, and upgrade paths.
Covers joystick drift, worn buttons, broken shells, specialty controllers, custom requests, and restoration work. Include the controller model, symptom, and whether parts or donor hardware are already available.
Rare bench
Vintage electronics and unusual projects
Diagnostics for rare electronics, automotive clusters, audio gear, receivers, and hardware that needs careful repair planning.
This path is for projects that do not fit normal console categories but still need a specialist bench. Customers should describe the item, failure, desired outcome, and whether parts or schematics are available.
Trade-in
Trade-in, buy, and recycle review
Review games, consoles, accessories, lots, and repairable hardware for trade, purchase, restoration, or recycling.
The shop does not need automatic value estimates. The intake captures item type, platform, condition, quantity, accessories, and repair history so the team can follow up with next steps.

Partner
B2B repair-shop support
Specialist overflow repair support for computer shops, game stores, and repair counters.
Use this path for recurring partner work, micro-soldering overflow, ports, board repair, controllers, and specialty projects that are better handled by a specialist bench. Include shop name, work type, expected volume, and handoff preference.
