Why Hark Tech

All the common Xbox faults

Green screen of death (E106, E200), HDMI port replacement, overheating strip-and-repaste, disc drive realignment, PSU faults, no-power / no-boot diagnostics. Series X, Series S and the whole Xbox One family.

Board-level when it needs to be

Xbox Series X HDMI port replacement is a microscope job with hot air. We fit compatible ports matched to the console revision.

Free photo quote, £40 redeemable assessment

You arrange and pay for tracked postage to our workshop. Fixed-price repairs include tracked UK return; the £40 board assessment also covers tracked return if you decline the quote.

What’s included

How it works

  1. Get in touch. Describe the symptoms — green screen, no video, crashing, loud fan. We’ll send a packing checklist within one working day.
  2. Post it in. Double-box with 3–5 cm of padding. Use a tracked and insured courier. We photograph the condition on arrival.
  3. Diagnose and quote. We identify the specific fault and send a firm written quote. No work starts without your approval.
  4. Bench repair. Most repairs are 1–3 hours of work; complex board-level jobs can take longer but we keep you updated.
  5. Test and return. Extended bench test under real game load (Forza, Halo, Red Dead). Returned via tracked courier.

Pricing

Typical cost for this repair is £65–£120. Send photos for a free quote first. Board-level work starts with a £40 assessment, redeemable in full against the repair, and no chargeable work starts without your approval. See full pricing structure (labour tiers, parts at cost, assessment fees).

Turnaround is typically 5-7 working days from arrival at the workshop to return dispatch.

Frequently asked questions

My Xbox Series X is stuck on the green boot screen. Can you fix it?

Yes. The green-screen-of-death condition is usually software corruption (fixable via offline system update from the workshop), SSD failure, or PSU voltage droop. We work through all three on the bench and identify the specific cause. Free photo quote.

How much does Xbox HDMI port replacement cost?

Our dedicated Xbox HDMI port service is £79 for Series X or Series S and £69 for the Xbox One family. Both fixed prices include tracked UK return postage.

My Xbox is really loud and shuts down mid-game. Is it saveable?

Almost always yes. On consoles 3+ years old it’s nearly always dried thermal paste plus dust. A full strip, clean and repaste brings the fan noise back to factory levels and stops the shutdowns. Typical job cost £60–£85.

Can you fix the disc drive if it’s grinding or won’t read discs?

Yes — disc-drive grinding is often bracket realignment (cheap fix) rather than full drive replacement. We diagnose both and quote accordingly.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Every repair carries a 12-month warranty on the specific work performed.

What if you can’t fix it?

On fixed-price jobs, tracked UK return is included. If the work cannot be completed, the £15 booking fee covers tracked return. On unknown board-level faults, the £40 assessment covers diagnosis and tracked return if you decline the quote.

Do you repair the original Xbox One as well?

Yes. We repair the Xbox One, One S and One X alongside Series X and Series S. HDMI port replacement, disc-drive faults, overheating and power problems are all common on the One family, and the same mail-in process, pricing and 12-month warranty apply.

Xbox One, One S and One X repairs

The Xbox One family is now old enough that faults are common, and we still repair them by post from anywhere in the UK. Failed disc drives, HDMI ports with no signal, consoles that switch themselves off, loud fans and power faults are all regular jobs on our bench. A repair usually costs far less than a replacement console and keeps your disc library working.

Independent of Microsoft

Hark Tech is an independent UK repair workshop, not Microsoft. If your console is still under Microsoft’s warranty, check Microsoft’s own repair service first. For out-of-warranty consoles, send a photo for a free quote.

How the mail-in repair service works

Send a photo of the fault for a free quote before you post anything. Fixed-price repairs are confirmed from the photos. Unknown board-level faults start with a £40 assessment, credited in full if you go ahead. We repair, test and return the console by tracked post, with a 12-month warranty on the work.

Is this Microsoft’s official Xbox repair service?

No. Hark Tech is an independent repair workshop and is not affiliated with Microsoft. If your console is still under Microsoft’s warranty, use Microsoft’s service first. Out of warranty, we repair Series X, Series S and the Xbox One family by post.

How much does an Xbox One repair cost?

HDMI port replacement is £69 for the Xbox One, One S or One X, including tracked UK return postage. Faults we cannot price from photos start with a £40 assessment, which covers full bench diagnosis and a firm written quote and is credited in full against the repair if you go ahead.

I searched for Xbox repair near me. Do you cover my area?

We are a mail-in repair service covering the whole of the UK. You post the console to our workshop, we repair it and post it back. There is no walk-in counter, but the process is the same wherever you are: free photo quote first, then post when you are ready.

Can I get a same-day Xbox repair?

No. We are a postal repair service, so the console needs to travel to and from the workshop. We would rather be honest about lead times than promise something we cannot deliver. Request a free quote for a realistic estimate.

Do you repair Xbox Series S as well as Series X?

Yes. We repair both, and the pricing on this page covers both models.
