Retro consoles are beloved, but decades of age take a toll on their hardware. Capacitors dry out, power supplies fail, cartridge slots and disc drives wear, and original video outputs don't play nicely with modern TVs. Charlotte Tech Repair specializes in reviving vintage systems including the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1 and 2, and the original Xbox. We recap aging boards, repair power and video faults, clean cartridge contacts and disc lasers, and can install HDMI mods so your classics look great on any modern display, all with the care these collectibles deserve.
