We’ve all been there. One second your PlayStation 5 is sitting peacefully on the shelf, the next second your roommate/dog/kid/cat/overzealous vacuum cleaner knocks it onto the floor. That sickening thud? That’s the sound of your $700 console meeting gravity in the worst way. Cue the panic. But before you spiral into doom and start writing […]
You turn on your PS4, ready for some gaming therapy after a long day, and instead of that comforting white glow… you get a blinking blue light. No picture on the screen. No cheerful beep. Just the dreaded pulsing blue stare of doom. Congratulations, you’ve just met the infamous “Blue Light of Death.” Sounds dramatic? […]
Your PS5 Is Loud Enough to Startle the Neighbours We get it. You fire up your PS5, sit down to game—and your console sounds like it’s prepping for liftoff. If your PS5 fan is roaring like a jet engine, overheating, or shutting down mid-game, you’re not alone. At OneUpFix Barrie, we fix loud, hot consoles […]
Look, we get it. Your console breaks, you Google around, and suddenly every shop claims they’re the best thing since Mario 64. Fast, cheap, unbeatable service…blah, blah, blah. But when your $700+ PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch is on the line, the last thing you need is to hand it over to some mall workshop with […]
We get it. Your console breaks, and suddenly you’re spiraling down a YouTube rabbit hole, debating whether to fix it, replace it, or just emotionally detach and become a productive member of society (don’t worry, we know you’re not doing that last one). So — when is it actually worth repairing your console? And when […]
Your PS5 is not supposed to be a $700 doorstop. But when your HDMI port is busted, it’s basically just an expensive white noise machine.No signal. No picture. No game night. Just you, your blank TV, and your slowly dying soul. But don’t worry — you’re not alone. We’ve fixed a lot of PS5s right […]
Your PS5 Sounds Like It’s About to Take Off? Let’s Talk. Look, we love the PS5. It’s sleek, it’s powerful, and it’s the only reason half of us survived 2020. But when your PS5 sounds like a Boeing 747 is prepping for takeoff in your living room, you’ve got a problem. If your console’s fan […]
We’ve seen a lot at OneUpFix. PS5s soaked in cola. Switches sticky with mystery juice. Xboxes that smelled like burnt hair and despair. But the one that still gets talked about around here? The PS5 that survived a house fire. Yes, it happened. Yes, we fixed it. No, it didn’t smell great. The Call It […]
So your PS5 controller’s acting possessed. You nudge right… it darts left. You barely touch the stick… your character spins in circles like they just drank four Red Bulls and saw a ghost. Or maybe it doesn’t turn on at all. No lights, no love, no sign of life. Like your ex after the breakup. […]
You know that sound your PS5 makes right before it dies? Kind of like a jet engine trying to lift off… then choking on its own ambition? Yeah. We fix that. Also: no signal. Random shutdowns. Overheating tantrums. HDMI ports that got yeeted by your toddler or your roommate’s “gentle” unplugging. (He’s not gentle. He’s […]
