Console Repair
Game console diagnosis and repair for no display, charging faults, damaged HDMI ports, and board-level issues.
Specialist Workshop
Repair for electronics that many shops replace instead.
The Board Repair Guy focuses on practical, component-level repair for instrument clusters, automotive modules, game consoles, and other electronics with faults that are not always obvious from the outside.
If your device is not powering on, not charging, showing no display, losing communication, or behaving intermittently, we can inspect the fault and recommend the right repair path.
Local and mail-in service
Carleton Place, Ottawa area support, plus Canada-wide shipping for supported repairs.
Board-level diagnosis
Useful when the problem is deeper than a simple parts swap.
Clear repair categories
Console, cluster, module, and microsoldering services connected through one site structure.
About The Shop
A repair business built around difficult electronics work.
The shop is built around the kind of electronics work many places avoid: damaged boards, failed connectors, instrument clusters, modules, and control boards where replacement is expensive or the real fault is still unknown.
If you already know the symptoms but are not sure which repair page fits, the service sections below make it easier to find the right place to start. You can also use the repair guide for choosing the right repair path.
Common reasons customers get in touch
- No HDMI signal or damaged console port
- Instrument cluster dead, dim, or reading incorrectly
- Module not communicating after power or programming issues
- Charging faults, broken connectors, or board damage
- Intermittent behaviour that needs diagnosis before replacement

Problems customers often describe before they know the exact repair.
No HDMI signal
Common on consoles with damaged or loose HDMI ports, bent pins, or board damage around the connector.
Dead instrument cluster
A blank or partly dead cluster may point to internal board, power-supply, display, or gauge-driver faults.
Flickering display
Intermittent screens, dim backlighting, or disappearing pixels often need inspection instead of guesswork.
Module not communicating
Communication faults can follow low voltage, interrupted programming, internal damage, or failed memory work.
Not charging or not powering on
Charge ports, USB-C connectors, protection circuits, and board-level power issues all need different repair paths.
Intermittent operation
Problems that appear only some of the time are often the hardest to guess correctly without inspection.
Examples of the kind of work this site is built around.
A straightforward repair process.
