Console Repairs Wishaw | PlayStation, Xbox & Nintendo Repair Specialists

What We Do

Game consoles can develop faults ranging from overheating and HDMI damage to storage failure, liquid damage, power faults, and motherboard-level problems.

At Dead or Alive Technology, we provide diagnostics-led console repairs for gamers, families, and business customers. We work on a wide range of gaming consoles and focus on accurate fault finding, quality repairs, and clear communication throughout the repair process.

Based in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, we support customers across Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Central Belt, and UK-wide where suitable. Our approach prioritises reliable repairs and proper diagnostics rather than rushed fixes or unnecessary part replacement.
