Modification & Repair services

Are you one of the few lucky Australian's to have gone through the effort of importing a Steam Deck and you're wanting to upgrade your device?

Well, here we are and whether you're looking to increase your internal storage, install a custom backing from the likes of Jsaux or upgrade your thumb sticks to a Gullikit HAL offering, we're capable of doing it all. 

NOTE: Our storefront in Tullamarine is now closed, but we're still open!
All repairs are now handled via mail-in. More details can be found HERE.

Pricing?

We thought long and hard on how to simplify the buying process for our customers and unfortunately in the end we were unable to find a way to price the hundreds of possible services we can offer for your Steam Deck

With the difficulty of getting replacement parts into Australia, figuring out which parts our customers would like to opt for, and whether they'll be supplying their own parts we just had no easy way of  setting out a clear and consistent pricing structure for an endless number of potential services, shipping options and custom parts

We can however offer you pricing on BYO mod installation services

$129 install for a BYO 2230 SSD upgrade. This not only includes the physical installation of your customer supplied SSD, but the device will be formatted and installed with a fresh Steam Deck OS "SteamOS" Image.

$129 install of BYO Gullikit HAL effect thumb-sticks, which includes soldering of the touch sensors wiring. (Not currently available for OLED models)

$39 install of a custom rear/replacement rear housing, such as Jsaux's transparent rear housings, or $439 for a complete housing replacement. which includes a full teardown of your Steam Deck, including removal of the display and complete reassembly with new adhesive and mounting hardware used.

*No warranties are applied to customer supplied (BYO) parts
*Discounts apply when multiple services are ordered (our $129 fee covers an hour's labor, and in most cases, if the job can be completed in less than an hour, that's all you'll pay.)
*Installation of a new SSD requires the deletion of all personal data, files and installed games, these files cannot be transferred (unless they're currently installed on an SD card)
*Return shipping is an added cost, we always prefer to use Australia Post Express w/ tracking

Terms & Condtions apply, see them HERE.
