Amazing service from start to finish! Service was professional, friendly, and provided a very quick turnaround. I had two PS5 controllers repaired, and they're both working like new again. The quality of the repairs exceeded my expectations, and the entire process was smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and efficient repairs. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

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. Whether there’s no power light at all, or you’re seeing the blue light of death where the console blinks and shuts off, the cause is usually 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 signal to the TV 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 DualSense (PS5) stick drift, DualShock 4 (PS4) drift and Xbox controller drift, 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. A loud fan that sounds like a jet engine is an early warning sign. We offer full internal cleaning, fan replacement, professional thermal paste reapplication, and PS5 liquid metal replacement 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.
Do you sell consoles, games and accessories?+
Yes. Alongside repairs, we sell gaming consoles, games and accessories, with courier delivery available across South Africa. Stock changes regularly, so WhatsApp us to ask what’s currently available or to request something specific. Every console we sell is tested by our technicians before it leaves the lab.
My console is not reading discs. Can you fix the disc drive?+
Yes. A console that won’t read discs usually has a worn laser, a misaligned drive mechanism, or a jammed tray. We repair disc read errors, tray jams and laser failures across PS4, PS5 and Xbox console generations, and every drive is tested with multiple discs before the console leaves the lab.
How much does a PS5 HDMI port replacement cost?+
Diagnosis is free, and we confirm the exact price with you before any work begins. A professional PS5 HDMI port replacement costs a fraction of replacing the console, and because we repair at component level the fix addresses the actual damage rather than a blanket board swap.
