Common Questions

Gaming Repair FAQ

Answers to the questions we get most often from gamers in Durban and across KZN.

My PlayStation is not turning on. Can you fix it?+
Yes. A PS4 or PS5 that won’t turn on is one of our most common repairs in Durban. Usually caused by a power supply fault, blown fuse, or component failure on the motherboard. We run full diagnostics before any repair so you know exactly what’s wrong and what it will cost to fix.
My Xbox is not working or won’t turn on. What should I do?+
Xbox consoles that won’t power on or show no HDMI signal are commonly caused by power supply issues or HDMI port damage. Gaming Lab provides component-level diagnostics and repair for all Xbox models — Xbox One, Series S and Series X. Drop it in or send it via courier.
My controller is broken or drifting. Can you repair it?+
Absolutely. Stick drift and broken buttons are among the most common fixes we do. We repair DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers for PS4 and PS5, as well as Xbox controllers — replacing analogue sticks, buttons, charging ports, and more.
My PS5 has no HDMI signal. Can you fix the HDMI port?+
Yes. HDMI port replacement is a specialised micro-soldering repair we perform regularly on PS4 and PS5 consoles. We use professional tools and quality replacement ports to ensure a reliable, lasting repair.
Do you repair consoles sent from outside Durban?+
Yes. We service customers across all of South Africa via courier. You send your device to us in Durban, we diagnose, repair and test it thoroughly, then courier it back. We’ll advise you on safe packaging and coordinate collection.
My console is overheating. What causes this?+
Overheating is usually caused by dust buildup, a failing fan, or dried-out thermal paste. We offer full internal cleaning, fan replacement, and professional thermal paste reapplication to bring temperatures back to safe levels and extend the console’s lifespan.
How long does a console repair take?+
Most repairs are completed within a few business days once we’ve diagnosed the fault and confirmed the repair with you. Complex motherboard-level repairs may take a little longer — we give you a clear timeline before starting any work.
