Fantastic service! Answered all my questions clearly and patiently. Deep cleaned my console, replaced the worn out hard drive, and polished up my heat sink and added better thermal paste. Reasonable and fair prices, bit of a wait (2 weeks), but well worth it! Highly recommended for regular service to maintain and repair precision equipment.

Need to get a PlayStation 3 repaired they brought me right in to cure my system and was fun to visit. They have amazing games and some of the old school stuff that I really like

The only legitimate place to go in the entire Salt Lake valley for anything related to video games. They know what’s up.

I've been here multiple times for handheld console repairs and once to buy an xbox, this place is honestly awesome. Great customer service, great repairs, and some absolute steals for games and consoles.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I think so. Depends on the problem

Cutieboyjr - | Oct 24, 2021
Nathan Harvey | Oct 24, 2021

They offered to fix my da lite so I'd say it depends on what's wrong with it but no you dont just call and explain the issue to them

How do they make the GameCube systems have Digital outputs on them?!??!?!?!?!

Max Russell (Chickenlord278) | Jul 26, 2022
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Jul 26, 2022

Some models of GameCube actually come from the factory with digital output. In the past, we have modded some of those systems to have HDMI output instead, but we didn't actually put the digital out port in there. That was Nintendo that did that.

Sadly, we don't have any experience with blu-ray player modding. If I'm not mistaken, it often involves flashing drive firmware, which we aren't set up to do.

Do you clean out xbox with a cockroach problem.

Adam Waudby | Nov 28, 2021
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Nov 28, 2021

I'm sorry, we don't. Cockroaches put our staff and other customers' consoles at risk, so we have to turn away anything that has them :(

Hi I recently got my Xbox back from a friend it’s been sitting there and its pretty gross it has ROACHES in it and I’m wondering if I kill then with airtight bag and putting them in a cold ice bucket for 5-12 days are you guys able to clean it up?

Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Nov 28, 2021

I'm sorry to say we have a firm policy when it comes to roaches. Even if you kill them all in advance, we won't be able to take it in, as it could put our staff and other customers' consoles at risk. I'm sorry :(

Can you guys fix my PS4 which is stuck in safe mode and the only option it gives me is initialize PS4 but it doesn't work. And how much would it cost?

Abel Heras | Oct 24, 2021
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 24, 2021

Totally! That's usually caused by a dead hard drive. We do 500GB drives for $69, 1TB drives for $89, and 2TB drives for $119. Definitely bring it in so we can run a free test on your drive :)

Can you remove stripped screws from, let's say, a 3ds?

Killer Jam25 | Oct 24, 2021

9/10 times they will. They would tell a rough amount on how much it will cost you.

My PS4 controller won’t connect to my phone or PS4 and when I turn it on it turns itself off what should i do and if I brought it in how much would it be to be fixed???

Maison Zuech | Oct 24, 2021
The Harbinger Of Chaos & Waste | Oct 24, 2021

As far as cost to repair, I have no idea. But you could try the reset button on the back of your controller (it's a tiny black hole near the L2 button. Press and hold it for 5 to 8 second with a paper clip). Also try leaving it on the charger for a few hours.

can they fix my switch error

Dina D | Oct 24, 2021
Saiyaga Robinson | Oct 24, 2021

You will have to take it in so they can assess the issue. They are very good at repairs.

My Gameboy Advance SP’s screen is really dark, it was my brothers from a long time ago. Anyway, would they be able to repair my gameboy?

Luke Weeks | Oct 24, 2021
David Wood | Oct 24, 2021

To add onto the other answer, there is a large waiting period for console repairs at the SLC location (which is the only Game Changerz that is still in business currently). Last time I was at the SLC location, which was about 2 weeks ago, I overheard it was gonna take them 6 weeks for a repair on a PS2 someone had brought in. Waiting times may have changed since then but call ahead just to be sure.

Regrettably, I took my New 3DS XL apart, and can't get it back together. I thought I could handle it, but I just couldn't. I have all the parts except 1 or 2 screws. Could they put it back together for me?

Jordan Meldrum | Oct 24, 2021
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 24, 2021

Depending on the state it's currently in, we might be able to quickly put it back together for you without having to put it in the line. But if it's torn down far enough, we might have to check it into the line. We'd be happy to take a look and let you know :)

Do you have to set up an appointment due to covid or can anyone walk in and ask for help?

Ruby Ayala | Oct 24, 2021
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 24, 2021

We don't require appointments, but we do require a mask, encourage social distancing, and limit the store to 10 customers at a time. There is a possibility you might be asked to wait outside for a bit if the store is at capacity, but there's no need to set up a time in advance.

Fat PS2 Do you fix the fat ps2 ? Mine is only reading cd games not the DVDs pretty sure it needs a new laser. Or maybe I could trade mine in for a discount on a working ps2 ?

Kasey Hampton | Oct 24, 2021
W. J. R. (Saltlake Seattleite) | Oct 24, 2021

They do, BUT a huge line of people are ahead of you which makes the wait for getting it repaired months last I heard. A lot of the PS2 systems lasers are all failing because its been that long since they were manufactured. Call ahead for best/most recent information. They are very nice, just understaffed for trained/qualified repair techs to meet the current influx of PS2 game systems. In order to trade or sell them a system I think it needs to be in full working order, but call for the most up-to-date changes. Hope that helps.

can you fix my ps4 that has water damage and how much would it cost.

Redwarrior235 P | Oct 24, 2021
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 24, 2021

Water damage is usually not repairable, but we'd be happy to take a look at it if you'd like. We'd need to take a look at it before we could say for sure and quote you a price.

How Much to fix the HDMI on the ps4 I have the New Part And tried to connect and and failed so it is on there and just needs to be soldered

Unavailable | Oct 24, 2021
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 24, 2021

We usually charge $99 for the entire job (including full disassembly, reassembly, and a 90 day warranty) but if you have the board out already, we'd recommend bringing in just the board so we can take a look. The hardest part of the repair is actually removing the old port without damaging the board, so we'd like to take a look at how it's looking after your attempt and make sure the board is in good shape before we quote you a price. If it's fixable, we could do it for substantially less than usual, but because of the previous work, we might not be able to warranty it.

Xbox customer service is wack. Can somebody please help me, so I spilled a whole cup of soda inside my Xbox one s all internal, took it apart and seen the motherboard is fried

FlIcKd Verified | Oct 24, 2021
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 24, 2021

We do mainboard repair, but we have a bit of a line right now. Liquid damage usually needs to be taken care of as fast as possible, so we'd recommend this time around calling our friends over at Numbskull games and repair up in Roy. They should be able to get to your system a lot faster than we can right now.

How muh to replace ps4 fan

Joey Snyder | Oct 24, 2020
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 24, 2020

It depends on the model of PS4, but most of the time, the fans themselves don't go out. If you're lucky, you might just need the $39 deep clean and thermal compound replacement. For any questions on pricing, you can also check out our website at precisiongadgetrepair.com

Do you guys jailbreak switch? And how much

lutong pinoy ni jepoy | Oct 25, 2019
Game Changerz and Precision Gadget Repair | Oct 25, 2019

Sadly, we do not offer Jailbreaking services at our store. While jailbreaking itself is perfectly legal, it is often used for piracy, which is illegal. Because we don't want to risk being held liable for how someone uses a switch that we've jailbroken, we have decided not to offer that as a service. There are youtube tutorials as well as a few websites (and a discord channel) that might be able to help you on the right path.

Ken Forsythe | Oct 25, 2019

That would depend on the condition of the console and the games, and probably how many they have in stock at the time. I would recommend you give them a call, or just drop by and see. Good luck
