Adam communicates well, arrived on time as we'd arranged, and did what he said he'd do without any fuss or bother. He was quick and neat, plus very good to work with, and I'll definitely be using him again.

What do console repair services include?

The game console repair service includes all the tasks necessary to make a non-working or malfunctioning game console work as intended. To repair popular consoles like the PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch, your console repairman can do troubleshooting followed by the needed repairs. After completing the repairs, they can test the system to ensure the console is back to its original working order. 

Troubleshooting the problem 

Your console repair specialist begins by inspecting the different functions and components of your gaming console. They may also check each game disc for dirt or scratches if reading or loading errors occur. Your specialist inspects the cables, controllers, connection ports for issues. The monitor or TV and the Wi-Fi are checked as appropriate for any video, audio or connectivity problems. Once the problem is found, your console repair specialist works on the necessary fixes.  

Checking connections

Your console repairman checks all the connections that lead to and from the gaming console. This includes the HDMI cables, the HDMI ports on both the TV or monitor and the console, the power plugs and the controller ports. Your specialist can also check your internet for connectivity problems and do the appropriate fixes. 

Cleaning the internal parts

Defective gaming consoles can trace some of their problems to issues with heat management. The cooling fan usually causes this, along with the heat sink and other internal parts choked with dirt and debris. 

Your console repair specialist disconnects the console, shuts off the power and opens your game console’s case. They then clean the fan, heat sink, hard disk if any, and other parts with a non-static brush or blast from a can of compressed air. The case is reassembled once all the cleaning is done.

Rewiring the console and controllers

Some issues on your gaming console or its parts may be due to wires that have snapped or got cut from excessive bending. Your console repair specialist can check the wires on the controllers, HDMI cable or other connecting cables, and the power cable. Should any cut wires be discovered, your specialist can install new wires and splice or solder new connections.  

Replacing the non-working components

Any parts that no longer work on your consoles, such as the cooling fan on your PS4 or Xbox or the PS4 hard disk can be replaced if necessary. Note that your specialist may not have the replacement parts ready, so you must purchase these. Some specialists may offer to go to the console repair store to get these parts for you for a small additional fee.  

Testing the game console after repair

After your hired repair specialist has applied the fixes, they can test the console. They can check that the game loads up and works, both controllers function and respond as they should, and the video, audio and internet connectivity work as expected. If any issues arise, your repair specialist repeats the diagnostic and repair process until the console works without any problems.

Yardwork - moving topsoil

$480

Gordon ACT, Australia

2nd Oct 2024

We have about 3.5m3 of topsoil we need moved up to the back of our yard. We're almost finished doing it ourselves but have run out of time). We have a mini loader ('Kanga Kid') and 2 conveyor belts (hired). Basically, our yard is sloped and the top soil is at the front of the house. So, one person drives the mini loader to pick up the dirt and tip it onto the conveyor belt, it then falls onto the second conveyor belt and dirt falls into a wheelbarrow on the top level of the yard and that second person tips the dirt in piles where needed (would also be good to have it raked out but if there isn't enough time that's fine). See pics for how it's been working. We're about halfway done at the top level now so it should only take a couple of hours - max 3 hours. The conveyor belts were temporarily moved so they will need to be moved back so people will need to be able to lift 45kg each (the heaviest one is 90kg). Only thing you need to bring is your own gloves for pulling the dirt forward when it falls in the wheelbarrow) and to be able to operate a mini loader with relative ease. Not a hard of overly onerous job. Would prefer two people who are able to come to our place first thing tomorrow to get it finished in the morning but its a very late notice task so early afternoon is fine too. It's a straight forward and not too onerous task, but short notice and would like it done quickly so we're willing to pay $80/hr per person including fees. Priority is for people who can arrive here in the morning.

RV and his friend were fantastic. My husband and I ran out of time to do some yard work which was moving 3.5m3 of topsoil with a mini loader and 2 conveyors (sloped yard). They arrived on time in the morning and got it done. Recommend :)

Wall mount Flexi Storage shelving bracket Strips

I have all the parts for a Flexi Storage Home Solutions Double Slot shelving system, but my drill is not strong enough to mount the supporting strips into my wall (plaster board over brick). This job requires a drill with masonry bits, and a stud and electric cable finder. The wall is about 360cm wide and I'd like to install 6 to 8 strips, but would appreciate your expertise. Weekends and Tuesdays are best for availability. Wall and shelves pictured.

Thanks so much shelves and advice very much appreciated!
