I am considering having an extra switch that I have repaired but I am avoiding it because I already had issues in the past when I needed technical support for other things. Nintendo support isn’t an option because they will replace it.
Could you share your experience when having services like these done here in Van and how everything went?
Thanks fellow lemmins!
You probably need a general “electronics repair” shop: A place that can source parts & tools, and has staff that can break down, solder, and rebuild things with circuit boards.
Put that into Google Maps for some nearby options. A lot will advertise their services in the context of more general home appliances like TVs or PCs. Give them a call first to check if they have the parts and knowledge for your Switch. If they don’t, ask if they know someone who does. I suspect the hobby electronics DIY space around Vancouver is probably fairly close-knit.
I know about those, but I wanted a recommendation from someone that already had utilized the service so I feel less resistant in doing so.
To add to that he might call local video game stores and see if they have any contacts. Betting they will.
Press Start Video Games has been around for ages and if there is someone to do repairs they’ll know for sure, I’m sure they get a lot of trade-ins that need some TLC before resale.
There’s also Game Deals in New West down by the Quay. They deal with retro stuff more than anything, but worth chasing up.
