Switch v1/v2 Screen Lens Replacement
$ It Depends
The original Switch contains two layers of "screen". The touch layer, and the display layer. Generally when you get a crack, it's the touch layer that needs fixing. If the scren is black or looks like liquid spilling, the display layer may also be damaged. Contact for details and pricing.
Lite Screen Replacement
$85+ parts
New screens often come with a new lens as well. High quality replacements are often better than factory.
OLED Screen Replacement
$95+ parts
OLED screens are more expensive, and only come in black. Very sturdy replacements, again often better than factory.

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
$165 + parts
Currently, non-Nintendo made 3DS shells are a bit... meh. We recommend sourcing a shell from an electrically defective or "bricked" 3DS
Note: When ExtremeRate releases their 3DS replacement shell, I'll be sure to stock some.
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
$115 + 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. The original DS is mostly an abandoned console. :(
I love the feel of it so maybe you do too?
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
$115 + parts
ExtremeRate shells are superior to Nintendo OEM in my experience.
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.

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.

- 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.
