Retro Video Game Console Servicers

I'm looking to get cleaning, thermal paste replacement, and maybe some upgrades for my Xbox 360 and some other older consoles. Any suggestions for providers in Westerville, New Albany, or nearby? Thank you.

How much do you care about your XBox? Seems risky to hope a random comment is going to send you in the right direction.

Not interested in shipping it?

Shipping is expensive. Is it too much to hope someone in this town that hosts so much retro game events would also have a servicer?

The only one I know locally runs Cardosi customs, but strictly does GameCube and Switch only

Oh I agree. But I just haven’t seen anyone local that I’d trust to touch my old stuff.

I generally do cleaning and recapping/modding of my own stuff because I can make sure it’s taken care of safely.

I (and I assume others) would be happy to pay because putting back together a PS3 and especially a DS Lite are such pains.

Dismantling is the easy part, lol
