If you’re having issues with your Nintendo device, you’re not alone. From Joy-Con drift on the Nintendo Switch to cracked screens or cartridge reader problems, we’ve seen it all. At Gadget Medic Express, we’ve been performing expert Nintendo repairs for over a decade right here in Longview, and we’re proud to be the go-to repair shop for families and gamers throughout Kilgore, Gladewater, Gilmer, and Hallsville.
We understand how frustrating it is when your Nintendo stops working—especially if it’s your kids’ favorite system or your way to unwind after a long day. That’s why our shop focuses on quick turnaround, honest pricing, and repairs you can trust to last.
Our Experience with Nintendo Repairs
Over the past 12+ years, we’ve repaired hundreds of Nintendo devices, including:
- Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite
- Nintendo 3DS/2DS
- Nintendo Wii and Wii U
- Older Game Boy models
Whether it’s a broken screen, a failing charging port, or a Joy-Con that won’t respond, we’ve got the tools and know-how to fix it right the first time. We also handle internal board repairs and micro-soldering when needed—something most shops simply don’t offer.
At Gadget Medic Express, we don’t believe in guessing. Every repair starts with a full diagnostic to get to the root of the problem. We use high-quality parts, and every Nintendo repair we do comes with a lifetime warranty on labor and defects—because we stand behind our work.
Common Nintendo Problems We Fix
If your Nintendo isn’t working right, there’s a good chance we’ve fixed that exact issue before. Here are some of the most common problems we see:
🎮 Joy-Con Drift
This is by far the most common Nintendo Switch issue. If your character keeps walking in circles or your cursor moves on its own, that’s Joy-Con drift. We can replace the analog sticks fast, using upgraded parts that last longer than the originals.
🔌 Charging Port Problems
If your Switch won’t charge or only works at a weird angle, the charging port may be damaged. This often requires micro-soldering a new USB-C port onto the board. Our technicians are trained in board-level Nintendo repairs, so we can fix it without replacing the entire motherboard.
💥 Cracked Screens
Dropped your Switch? No problem. We replace both LCD and touch screen digitizers with care, keeping your display looking sharp and responsive.
🎲 Cartridge Reader Errors
Getting a “game card cannot be read” message? We can replace the cartridge slot and clean the internal contacts so your games load like new.
🔊 No Sound or One-Sided Audio
Whether it’s a software issue or a broken speaker, we’ll run a full diagnostic to pinpoint the problem and replace the faulty part if needed.

DIY Repairs vs. Professional Repairs
We get it—some people like to take things into their own hands, and DIY repairs can work for some minor issues. But there are some risks you should know:
- Opening your Nintendo voids the warranty
- Static shock can damage internal components
- Cheap parts found online often fail within weeks
- Soldering mistakes can make things worse and cost more to fix later
If you’re not sure what’s wrong, or if you’ve already tried a fix and it didn’t work, bring it to us. We’ll give you a free diagnostic and let you know exactly what’s going on—no pressure, no upsells.
