Built on Nostalgia. Fueled by Mario. Fixed with Care.

I still remember unboxing my first NES console—wide-eyed, tiny controller in hand, ready to chase Bowser through pixelated castles. Before that? It was a Commodore 64 and some very questionable loading screens. Fast forward to years later, I was one of just 25 people in line at Walmart on Nintendo Switch launch day—barely functioning adult, still giddy like a kid, gripping that box like it was gold.

Now I get to pass that same joy on to my own kids. And when their consoles glitch, freeze, or flat-out refuse to power on? I fix them. That’s how OneUpFix started. Because whether it’s a Switch with Joy-Con drift, a Wii that won’t boot, or a 3DS that’s seen better days—we all just want to get back to the games we love.

Nintendo has a way of bringing us together—across generations, across living rooms, and yes, even across repair benches. So if your console’s having a meltdown, I’ve got you. Let’s get it working, and get you (or your kids) back to gaming joy.

Let’s Fix Your Nintendo

What We Fix (Besides Broken Hearts After Game Over Screens)

From vintage handhelds to the latest Switch OLED, Nintendo consoles have always had a place in our homes—and a tendency to break at the worst possible moment. Whether you're chasing stars in Mario Kart or grinding through Tears of the Kingdom, nothing kills the fun faster than a busted screen, drifting Joy-Con, or a console that won’t even turn on. Here's what we fix every day at our Barrie repair bench (usually with Mario music playing in the background):

Console Chaos? Here’s How We Handle It (The Nintendo Edition)

When your Nintendo console starts acting up, it can feel like Ganon just stomped all over your plans. But don’t worry—we’ve got a simple, no-drama process to get you (or your kids) back to gaming fast. Whether it’s Joy-Con drift, a Switch that won’t turn on, or a Wii U that’s giving serious attitude, here’s how we handle repairs—from drop-off to powered-up.

Step 1: Drop It Off (or Ship It In)

Whether you're in Barrie or way up in mushroom kingdom country (hi, Muskoka), just bring your Nintendo console to us or mail it in. No appointment needed—just the console itself and whatever issues it's throwing your way.

Step 2: We Diagnose the Problem

Joy-Con drift? Charging port not cooperating? Switch stuck on a black screen like it’s loading Hyrule forever? We’ll run a full diagnostic, figure out what’s wrong, and let you know the plan. And yes—your diagnosis is free.

Step 3: You Get It Back, Working Like New

Once we’ve done our magic, we’ll get your console back in your hands and ready to go. Whether you’re back to building islands in Animal Crossing or dodging shells in Mario Kart, you’ll be up and running fast.

What Makes Us Different

We grew up on Nintendo, so we get it—it’s not just a console. That’s why every repair gets our full attention, whether it’s a drifting Joy-Con or a Switch that’s totally bricked. We're here to keep the magic (and your game progress) alive.

Get a Free Diagnosis

Not sure what’s wrong? Bring it in—we’ll take a look and let you know exactly what’s going on, no charge, no commitment. Whether it’s a dead Switch or a Joy-Con with a mind of its own, we’ll give you the info you need without pressure or upsells.

120-Day Repair Assurance

We stand behind every repair we do. If the same issue comes back within 120 days and it’s related to our work, we’ll make it right—no drama, no dodging, just solid follow-through. You get peace of mind along with your console.

Real Techs, Not Just Button Mashers

We’re not just soldering wizards—we’re gamers too. That means we actually test your console like a real person would. If something feels off, lags, or doesn’t respond quite right, we’ll catch it and fix it before it makes you rage-quit.

Nintendo Repair Questions? Let’s Warp Pipe You to the Answers

Nintendo consoles are magical... right up until the moment they stop working. Whether your Joy-Con’s drifting into oblivion, your Switch won’t charge, or your 3DS is acting like it’s seen too much—these are the most common questions we get from fellow gamers (and worried parents) here in Barrie.

Most standard Nintendo repairs—including Joy-Con drift, charging port replacement, or screen issues—are flat-rated at $199 (tax in). If the fix requires rare parts or a more complex board-level repair, I’ll reach out before doing anything. No surprise mushrooms here.

For common repairs like screen replacements or charging ports, turnaround is usually 1–3 days. If I need to source a part or spend extra time diagnosing a weird issue, I’ll keep you in the loop.

I repair all modern Nintendo systems, including:

Nintendo Switch
Switch OLED
Switch Lite
3DS / 2DS
Wii U
And yes—even some older classics if the parts are available.

Yes, and I’ve seen a lot of it. Whether it’s one Joy-Con or both acting up, I’ll clean, replace, or repair the stick mechanisms so you can play without veering off the track in Mario Kart every 3 seconds.

Yep—every repair comes with a 120-day warranty. If the same issue comes back and it’s related to my work, I’ll fix it again at no charge. Accidental drops, spills, or your dog chewing the dock? Sadly not covered (but still relatable).

I don’t offer repairs for water-damaged Nintendo consoles. Liquid damage can cause unpredictable internal issues that aren’t always fixable. If it’s been splashed, soaked, or bathed in juice, powering it off and not turning it back on is your best move.

Absolutely. I accept mail-in Nintendo repairs from across Ontario. Just contact me first so I can walk you through safe packaging and the next steps. Once I receive it, I’ll treat it like it’s my own—probably cleaner, honestly.

In some cases, yes—if the motherboard and internal memory aren’t damaged. I’ll do everything I can to preserve your saves, but if a full board replacement is needed, it might not be possible. I’ll always give you a heads-up before that happens.

I wish I could! But sometimes parts aren’t available, or the damage is just too far gone (think: Mario after falling into lava). That said, I give every Nintendo repair my full attention—and I’ll always be upfront if something just isn’t fixable.
