Batteries, joycon rails, water damage, charging port, etc. I do it all.
I began my career in high end computer repairs. I'm quite confident that I can undertake most any mod or repair job on Switch devices. Contact me for details!
Nintendo 3DS
We offer reshells, usb-c mods, capture cards (soon!), and other "easier" repairs!
3DS USB-C Charging
$85+ parts
Your 3DS can now be charged by your phone or Switch charger! Any USB-C charger should work fine.
Note: This mod removes the old port and replaces it with a USB-C port. Your console's case will be cut slightly to allow for a snug fit.
3DS Reshell
$125 + parts
Currently, original 3DS shells are a bit... meh. They work fine but the quality is lacking. I can do the service anyway, don't throw it out yet!
Note: When ExtremeRate releases their 3DS replacement shell, I'll be sure to get some in stock for same-day swaps.
Nintendo DS
We offer reshells, usb-c mods, and other "easier" repairs!
DS USB-C Charging
$85+ parts
Your DS can now be charged by your phone or Switch charger! Any USB-C charger should work fine.
Note: This mod removes the old port and replaces it with a USB-C port.

DS Reshell
$85 + parts
There aren't many choices for shells, but something is better than nothing!
Choose an OEM shell from a used unit (potentially brittle plastic, not recommended), or a custom shell made by chinese sellers. The quality is near OEM but subpar compared to ExtremeRate's offerings.
Nintendo DS Lite
The most popular version of the DS. We offer reshells, usb-c mods, and repairs!
DS Lite USB-C Charging
$85+ parts
Your DS Lite can now be charged by your phone or Switch charger! Any USB-C charger should work fine.
Note: This mod removes the old port and replaces it with a USB-C port.
DS Lite Reshell
$85 + parts
ExtremeRate shells are superior to Nintendo OEM IMO. Look at the electronics! Exposed screw heads for me. I can reshell yours easy enough. The screen cables are tough but not like on a DSi!
Order from ExtremeRate on AliExpress for the best deal, or grab one from their US based site for speedier delivery. Ship it to us, or include it in your package.
Valve Steam Deck
Confident, tech forward people are encouraged to try repairs themselves. The Deck is well laid out for novices and most parts are available through official channels like iFixit and Amazon.

PC and Console Repairs
PC Desktops
Fast computers with beefy parts and full sized components cooled effectively. Parts cost extra.
Builds for gamers
from $150
We can build from parts you or the store delivers, or we can shop together online ahead of time. General software setup, gaming optimizations, and sensible overclocking options available.
Repairs
$75/hour
Bluescreens, power supply, crashes, frame drops, actual drops, liquid damage, tearing, slowdowns or idiotic dialog boxes.
We've spent 15 years doing this bit for people and can nail exact problems often within seconds. It's honestly quite fun to witness. No cost diagnostic in most cases!
Upgrades
$75/hour (max 2 hours)
Moving from AM4+ to AM5 finally? Join the crowd and keep your warranties intact. Find out how...
PC Laptops
Hot and fast. The cooling systems in most laptops struggle, even your quad fan Asus. Help them out with an upgrade. Labor prices shown, parts extra.
Mods and Upgrades
$75/hour
- Replace factory thermal paste with high performance MX4, Frost X45, Phase Change TPM, or good ol' Arctic Silver for more core boost.
- Replace stock VRM thermal pads for more longevity.
- Clean radiator and vents of dust to keep the thing working at all
- Install more RAM so that Adobe products work smoother.
SSD Upgrade or Add-In
$75
Clone to a larger or faster SSD or add in a second drive (if it fits) for more installed games. See why the Samsung 990 Pro is such a hot seller.
Steam LOVES being on a secondary large sized SSD.
Broken Screen, Keyboard, Touchpad, Battery, DC Jack
$75/hour
I offer full service repairs on all PC devices. Laptops and Desktops. No Apple devices.
I can fix everything except GPU/CPU/PCH problems. I may do those too later. I can always replace parts, but I strive to FIX them first.
All prices are shown without parts costs. Labor is untaxed, parts are taxed. Additional fees may apply.
