Why We

What changes when you trust us the intervention

Diagnosis of binocular

On 30 year-old cards, you look before soaring: oxidation, swollen condensers, leaks, corrode pistes. The diag takes time but avoids to massacre a card that could get out of it.

Electrical Recovery

Mega Drive, Saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube: the electrical caps flee with the years and corrode the map. Complete replacement by solid or tantal capacitors according to the case.

Modding & Restoration

Mod RGB, mod HDMI (PS1, N64, GameCube), modchip Wii/PS2, IPS Game Boy screen, backup batteries, picofly Switch.

Quality of Sourced Pieces

Original or premium IPS screens, refined optical readers, Japanese captors (Nichicon, Panasonic), reflected memory cartons.

FAQ Console Returns

The questions we are asked most often

Are you really planning to repair the 30 year old consoles?
NES, Master System, Mega Drive, SNES, N64, GameCube: these machines are solid but their condensers release, their backup batteries die, their disc players use.
What is recapping?
On Sega (Mega Drive, Game Gear, Saturn, Dreamcast), Apple, Macintosh old, and many 90s cards, these caps flee with time and their electrolyte rush the map. They must all be replaced before corrosion kills the tracks.
Do you install IPS screens on Game Boy/GBA?
Yes. on the classic Game Boy (DMG-01), Pocket, Color, GBA and GBA SP. Several brands according to budget (FunnyPlaying, RetroPixel, Hispeedido).
What about Pokémon Gold/Silver backup that doesn’t hold anymore?
CR1616/CR2025 dead button on the cartouche.The waste battery is dissolved, a new battery is resounded, the existing backup is kept (if it is still there) or warned before intervention. 95% of the cartouches are returning to life.
Do you accept the shipment from all over France?
Colissimo recommended with protective mouse, free diagnosis at reception, written estimate before intervention.
