Why Mod Labs

Treated like it's staying in my own collection

  • Microscope-level work Precision soldering under magnification, with strain relief and Kapton where it counts.
  • Clean + fresh paste Every mod includes a deep clean and fresh thermal paste, so your console goes home cleaned and freshly repasted.
  • Tested before pickup Every console is fully tested before it goes home. If I spot prior damage, you hear it from me first.
  • Noob-friendly Ask anything. I keep you updated and walk you through your setup when you pick up.
  • Fast local turnaround Seattle drop-offs are usually done the same or next day.
  • 9+ years hands-on Consoles, PCs and custom electronics: I've been repairing and modding hardware for over nine years.

FAQ

Questions? Good.

The ones I hear most. Anything else, just ask.

All questions
Is modding safe for my console?

Every install gets clean soldering, careful board handling, strain relief on wires and a full test before it goes back to you. Advanced rework always carries a small risk. I'll tell you upfront if I see anything concerning, like prior damage or a failed install.

Can I still play online?

Connecting a modified console to official online services always carries a ban risk. On Switch I set up emuMMC, so your modded setup is kept separate from your stock system, and I'll walk you through how to use it safely. Ask me about your specific setup.

How long does it take?

Local drop-offs in the Seattle area are usually done the same or next day. Repairs and custom work depend on parts, and you'll get a time estimate with your quote.

Do you do mail-in?

Yes. Send a request, pick "Mail-in", and we'll work out shipping, packing and timing together before you send anything.

What do I need to bring?

The console and its power supply or charger. For Switch mods, bring a microSD card too: 128GB works, but I recommend 256GB or more. Buy it from a reputable seller, because there are a lot of fake SD cards out there that report the wrong size and corrupt your data. For repairs, bring the device plus a note on what happened right before the issue started.
