British electronics retailer CEX has announced a new partnership with leading console repair specialists Tech Centre, introducing a streamlined 'no fix, no fee' repair service for a wide array of retro gaming hardware.
The initiative aims to breathe new life into classic consoles from Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, and Atari, making it easier than ever for enthusiasts and collectors to preserve their cherished systems. Launching across CEX stores in the UK, the service is designed with customer convenience in mind.
Users with faulty Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, or Atari consoles can obtain a repair quote through CEX’s website, then drop off their device at a local branch.
The hardware is then securely shipped to Tech Centre’s repair facility, where certified technicians handle the restoration process.
Throughout the repair journey, customers can track the status of their console online.
On successful completion, devices are typically returned within seven days. Notably, the program operates on a 'no fix, no fee' basis.
If Tech Centre is unable to repair the console or accessory, customers aren't charged any costs—from inspection fees to additional service charges.
Tech Centre states on its official site that 'customers are not liable for hidden inspection fees or covert charges,' underscoring their transparent approach to retro hardware repairs. The repair coverage extends well beyond the major platforms.
Supported hardware includes not only Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox systems, but also classic Sega and Atari consoles such as the Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn (Model 1 and 2), Sega Mega Drive (including 32X and CD variants), Sega Master System (I and II), Sega Multi-Mega, Atari Jaguar and Jaguar CD, Atari Lynx (I and II), and Sega Game Gear.
The service even covers controllers and other console accessories, reflecting the diverse needs of retro collectors and gamers. According to Tech Centre, they have already completed over 200,000 device repairs, building a reputation for expertise in console maintenance.
This partnership with CEX leverages that experience and provides retro gaming enthusiasts with a reliable, easy-to-access hardware repair solution. For further details, customers can visit the CEX website for a personalized quote and more information on hardware eligibility. This collaboration demonstrates a growing commitment from major retailers and service providers to support the retro gaming community, ensuring that treasured Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Sega, and Atari systems can continue to operate for years to come.
