A Nintendo console may encounter several errors, either due to age or poor handling. Most of these issues include HDMI Port, DVD Drive, Hard Drive, and Charging Port Replacement that we can easily fix.
If the HDMI port on your Nintendo Switch dock is damaged due to a faulty circuit, it may take 1-2 hours to fix the issue. However, this duration depends upon the availability of the required parts and the experience of the worker performing the repair.
Following are the types of Nintendo HDMI Port damages that we will fix for you:
Loose HDMI Port: Your Nintendo HDMI Port may become loose due to misuse or rough handling of the cable, but do not worry. We will fix it for you.
Broken Port: The port may also accidentally be damaged due to physical damage or drops. We will thoroughly analyze the issue and fix it for you.
Here are the different types of Nintendo HDMI port replacements that we perform;
Circuit Board Replacement: If the Nintendo HDMI port is severely damaged, an entire circuit board replacement might be required. We will replace it with great precision and expertise since changing an entire circuit board can be quite tricky.
Direct HDMI Port Replacement: If you are looking for an uncomplicated way to replace your HDMI port, we can install a new one instead of your old, nonfunctional port.
Solder Replacement: Solders are an essential component of your Nintendo HDMI Port. They may become weak with time, requiring a replacement to prevent them from continuing to function properly.
Yes, repairing your Nintendo Switch’s HDMI port may be a smart decision if you play games on your TV. However, if you are not a huge fan of gaming on your TV and mostly play on the device itself, you might want to skip repairing the HDMI port.
Following are the signs that indicate that your Nintendo HDMI Port is damaged and needs to be replaced;
You are facing graphic errors such as color imbalance and bad resolution.
The device fails to display any visual outputs after being connected to the HDMI Port.
Visible indications of damage, such as bent or broken pins.
Nintendo Switch is facing connectivity issues.
Since the process usually requires replacing the circuit board or soldering the port onto a circuit, it is not suggested that the repair be performed at home. It is a technical process that requires knowledge and skill. If you have both, you may perform a DIY, or you may consider reaching out to a professional.
The process of replacing the DVD Drive on a Nintendo Wii console is a hassle. There are several screws and plates to remove before you get to the DVD drive, which can take quite some time. For an experienced person, it may take up to 1-2 hours to fish the entire process. For beginners, the time may extend up to 3 hours.
We will fix the following Nintendo DVD Drive damages for you:
Motor Malfunction: If the disc is not spinning properly due to some physical damage or connectivity issues, there may be a motor malfunction that we will thoroughly analyze and fix.

We excel at performing the below-mentioned Nintendo DVD Drive replacements:
Lens Replacement: If the issue is solely being caused by a faulty lens and everything else seems to be in perfect condition, we will simply only fix what’s broken.
DVD Drive Replacement: In cases where the drive replacement unit is severely damaged, we will replace it with a new one.
Yes, it is absolutely worth repairing your Nintendo DVD drive. Otherwise, you will not be able to run any games on your console, and what’s a console worth if you cannot play games on it?

The game fails to load or gets stuck amidst the operation.
The DVD Drive makes weird or unusual noises.
Slowed or delayed functioning of the DVD Drive.
The device shows a “No disc inserted’ caution after the disc is successfully inserted.
Performing a DIY DVD Drive replacement is not recommended for DIY repairs unless you have the technical knowledge and the skills to do so. There are a lot of steps to follow and components to disassemble before replacing the DVD drive itself. Therefore, it is a process best suited to the professionals.
