Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo repairs
Console on, TV blank? Bring it to a real shop with real technicians. We diagnose and repair Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles at 3 Albion Park, Midland Road.
Plain-English answers, no pressure, and a 90-day parts and labour warranty on every repair.
The most common issue
A console that powers on but gives the TV no signal is frustrating, and it is something we see regularly. The HDMI port on the back takes a lot of strain from cables being pulled or knocked.
Try a different HDMI cable and a different input on your TV. If the picture comes back, the console may be fine.
With the console off, look into the HDMI port. Bent, pushed-in or uneven pins, or a port that feels loose, are signs it needs attention.
No-display faults are not always the port. We inspect the console to find the actual cause and explain it before any repair.
Repeatedly pushing a cable into a damaged port can make things worse. Unplug it and bring the console in.
Consoles we repair
Different hardware, same approach: diagnose properly, explain clearly, repair carefully.
HDMI specialists
The console most often brought in with a bent, loose or damaged HDMI port. We also look at power faults, overheating and disc-drive problems.
Digital-only
No disc drive, but the same kinds of video-output and power issues. If it switches on with nothing on screen, bring it in for a look.
Disc and Digital
Standard and Digital editions. We diagnose no-picture faults, consoles that will not power on, heat-related shutdowns and disc-drive problems on disc models.
Handheld and docked
Charging problems, a console that will not wake, or no picture on the TV when docked. We check the console and its USB-C charging port properly.
Newest hardware
Bring it in and we will assess it. We will tell you plainly what we find and whether a repair is something we can carry out.
Faults we diagnose
The console powers on, the light comes on, but the TV says no signal. Often the HDMI port has been knocked, bent or loosened by a cable being pulled at an angle. We inspect the port and the surrounding board before recommending anything.
Nothing at all when you press the button, a click and then silence, or a console that turns itself off. We test to find where the fault actually is rather than guessing.
Loud fans, warnings on screen or shutdowns mid-game. Dust build-up and cooling problems are common causes, and we will explain what we find.
For Xbox Series X and disc-edition PS5: discs not reading, not loading, or not ejecting. Not applicable to the Series S or PS5 Digital Edition.
A Switch that will not charge, or a loose USB port on any console. Worn or damaged ports are a frequent cause of charging and connection problems.
Not sure what is wrong? Bring it in and describe what happens. We will assess the console and talk you through what we find before any repair goes ahead.

Questions
Yes. Xbox Series X HDMI port faults are one of the console repairs we see at our shop at 3 Albion Park, Midland Road, Scunthorpe. Book online or drop the console in, and we will inspect the port and confirm what is needed before any work goes ahead.
It can be, but not always. A no-signal fault can also come from the cable, the TV input or the console itself. Try another HDMI cable and TV input first. If it still shows nothing, bring it in and we will diagnose the cause.
We cover Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Sony PlayStation 5 (disc and Digital Edition), Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
It depends on the console and the fault. We diagnose it first and tell you what is involved before any repair goes ahead, so there are no surprises. Call 01724 841151 if you would like to talk it through.
Yes. All repairs carried out at Scunthorpe Computers include a 90-day parts and labour warranty. If the same fault returns within that period, we will fix it at no extra cost.
Just the console is usually fine. If the fault involves charging or docking, such as on a Nintendo Switch, it helps to bring the charger and dock you normally use so we can check everything together.
You are welcome to drop in during opening hours: Monday to Friday 9am to 4:30pm and Saturday 10am to 3pm. Booking online first means we already have your details when you arrive.
