If your **game controller** is acting up, you want it fixed fast. At Repatch, we help customers across **Cheltenham** get their **PlayStation**, **Xbox**, and **Nintendo** controllers repaired with reliable technician support.

Whether you are dealing with **drift**, unresponsive **buttons**, or charging problems, our process is designed to be simple. We can often arrange pickup and repair quickly, then return your device when it is ready.


## Common Controller Faults We Fix

Many controller problems have clear signs. Here are some of the most common faults we see around **Cheltenham**.


### **Joystick drift** and stuck movement

If your controller moves on screen without you touching it, **joystick drift** is usually the cause. This can make games hard to play, especially for racing, shooters, and platformers.

Our technicians can inspect the stick assembly and clean or replace worn parts so controls feel accurate again.


### Unresponsive **buttons** and trigger issues

Sometimes **A/B/X/Y** buttons fail to register. Other times, **triggers** may feel weak or inconsistent.

We can diagnose button contact issues, check for internal wear, and repair the affected components.


### Charging and **battery** problems

A controller that will not charge, charges slowly, or powers off during gameplay is frustrating. This is often linked to a faulty **charging port** or ageing **battery**.

Repatch can assess the charging system and repair the right part, not just the symptom.


### **Broken ports** and loose connections

If your **charging cable** feels loose, or the connection drops, you might have a damaged **port**. Loose internal connectors can also cause intermittent faults.

We can open the device, check the connection points, and carry out the correct repair.
