Videomen

Upon checking Unilocal for PS3 Repairs, Videomen came up, called the place to check if I can come in (I live 30 mins away) with my unit and the owner was very nice, straightforward and price was very affordable than other repair shops. Turnaround was 15 mins for the repair, Will definitely recommend.

I recently had to get my PS3 repaired and took it here because it is the closest to my home. I was grandly surprised in a positive way because the man of the business, @thaian1969@gmail.com, did the utmost to have me as a return customer. The prices are great as was the customer service. I highly recommend Videomen for you video game needs.

Took my old 60GB Playstation 3 in that hasn’t worked right for a couple years as well as my newer slimline 500GB PS3 that was making a horrible noise. Both machines fixed the same day for a very reasonable cost. Will definitely be back here again if anything ever goes wrong with any of my video game systems.

Shady Bait and Switch owner. My son called for estimates on the phone to fix his PS3. I thought the price was decent compared to the other shops. I showed up after work a few days later and he gives me a completely different price. When i confront him about it, he changes his story saying it was a special but i had to come in that same day. Apparently, they charge you different prices depending on whether you are a walk-​In customer or not. I was in my work attire so he figure since i am female i would not know better.
This story gets worse, So with great relunctance, i bite my tongue and agreed to get my PS3 fixed since my son really wanted it for the holidays. He was able to fix it, i take it home & surprise my son on thanksgiving. My son was so excited, he immediately turns it on & plays it for literally 5 minutes and the PS3 shuts down again.
My son thought it was some bad twisted joke, Terrible, just terrible!

I called around other shops to find a good repairman when my PS4 broke down, i was very scared & hesitant going to these shops since you are handing over your «gaming Life» in their hands. I have 1000s of hours invested in games saves that i did not want to lose which is why i did not want to send my unit back in to Sony.
The worst of my fears became a nightware @ Videomen. Not only were they not able to fix my Ps4, i got a completely different unit then what was gven to them. I take good care of my PS4 making sure there was no scratches and the unit i was received had scratches all over.
My unit powered on it just had a problem reading games and the one they gave back to me didnt even power at all.
I am usually very passive, but i was brought to tears because i just lost all my game saves no thanks to Videomen. When i made a scene and told them i wanted my original unit back, they refused and called me a liar. They then called the police when i told him i wasnt going to leave without my unit.
For those of you looking for a repair, please be careful choosing your spot and make sure they are fixing your unit in front of you.

Took my Xbox to get fixed, took care of the problem!
Definitely recommend this place to everyone

TLDR: Videomen is pretty good for repairs with good prices, bad customer service, many superficial scratches and dents on my 3DS XL that he caused during the repair. Would not suggest if you have a sensitive device in need of repair.
I came to Videomen to have my 3DS XL repaired because the top lcd screen had cracked. I had already bought a top screen ahead of time and when I came in he said it would be $ 45 to repair and it would be done in a few hours.
A few hours later he called me and said the bottom screen was broken too and would be $ 70 and it would take a few more days. I said no problem because all things considered that’s a very good price compared to what other places might offer.
When he said the repair was done and I came to pick it up and checked it, it worked! I was very happy, but when I checked it at home I started to find some superficial damage.
There were many dents on the device, and a lot of adhesive as well. A lot of the dents were in the corners of the screens, as a result of him wedging his screwdriver into the corners instead what he should of done, which is to use a plastic wedge tool. The bottom lcd which he had ordered also had a dead pixel on it. And the thing that bothered me the most was the top plastic cover over the top lcd screen has scratches on it, and fingerprint smudges all over it. This mean every time I’m playing and looking at the top screen I can see these fingerprints and scratches…
I came back to the store because he said if I have any problems within 7 days, he would fix it. I pointed out the scratches and fingerprints on the screen, screwdriver dents, and the dead pixel and he said word for word: «There’s nothing I can do about that. The most important thing is that it works, you’re just kind of picky.» I was frustrated that he was refusing to fix these things, but I insisted he at least clean the fingerprint smudges on the underneath the top plastic cover and he did that.
When I came to pick it up again I saw that there was many pieces of dust under the top screen because he probably used a kleenex to clean the smudges instead of something that doesnt leave dust like microfiber cloth. Plus there was more damage around the corners of the top screen too from him wedging his screwdriver to open it in order to clean it… I didn’t complain about the dust for that reason.
Overall it was a really shoddy job. I wouldn’t suggest getting any sensitive devices fixed by him if you want it to stay in a good condition. I wish I paid a little more to have it fixed by a professional.

Years ago, while I was working for Bank of America, people laughed at me whenever I’d bust out my old-​school clamshell Nintendo Gameboy Advance. So, I went out and bought the newest and brightest Gameboy coming out. The 3DS. It was blue, and it was awesome. It counted my steps while I walked on break, it entertained me with Super Mario Brothers and the Legend of Zelda while waiting for my food to arrive, and then it took 3D photos of my food for Unilocal.It was an incredible piece of portable gaming technology. Until, the shoulder buttons stopped working.
Gainfully employed, I went out and picked up a second 3DS. It fulfilled all the needs I had of it… until the buttons stopped working on the new gameboy. I worked with it, limited to a small handful of games in my nerdy-​large library that didn’t need the buttons. I was unemployed at this point, and unable to rush out and pick up another one. Plus, the new ones were large and clunky and didn’t comfortably fit in a pocket. I was distraught, and began taking photos with my crappy cell phone.
One day, I came across a review by somebody who had been to a guy in Van Nuys, who fixed his gameboy on the cheap. I could certainly afford on the cheap. I called the guy and he quoted me $ 25 to fix both systems. This was well within my cramped budget, and I planned a trip to see him. He’s in a run down shopping plaza next to a 99 cent store. The parking in his lot is one of those old school terrible lots where it’s difficult to get in and out. I parked and entered his store.
He greeted me and took a look at both of my 3DS gameboys. He said that one should normally be more expensive since it was a different set of buttons, but since he had told me $ 25, he would stick to that price. He also said it would take a lot longer to repair. My brain began to think of excuses to come back another day to pick them up. Then he said «Come back in 45 minutes and they’ll be done.»
So, I perused the area. The area is kinda run down, and pretty dirty. To be honest, I felt awfully white as I walked around. I meandered about the 99 cent store looking at halloween props, I then got some nachos a few doors down at the restaurant over there. I then returned to his store 45 minutes later, and he was still diligently working away on my system. I took the opportunity to look around his storefront. VHS tapes, DVD’s and assorted bits and pieces of game systems lay about in the cases. He had a haphazard collection of old games from systems of bygone ages for sale as well.
He informed me that my 3DS that I purchased «new» at Gamestop wasn’t in fact a nintendo case. It was a knock-​off case, and that’s what had caused the problems. He admitted he had spent a whole lot of time cleaning and fixing and re-​assembling it with official nintendo parts. He said it’d be a bit stiff, but it should work just fine.
On a shelf, my eyes caught sight of a copy of Dr. Mario for NES. I had a friend tell me upon several occasions that she’d spent many many fond hours of her childhood playing that game. Upon hearing the reasonable price I asked if he could add it to my order. Not even knowing if I’d ever see this friend again. Memories and all.
So, now I’ve got a pair of fully working 3DS systems, and a nintendo game. I can play all of the games I have to play. The total bill was $ 58 for both repairs and the game. While the guy is super nice, chatty and really amiable, he does seem just a bit scatterbrained. He’ll go off to do something and forget the original thing. I had to remind him several times that I did infact want to buy the NES game. I probably could have walked off with it and he might have caught it later on. He admitted to me that he’s been taken advantage with this before. Nice, nice guy. But make sure he writes all the stuff down. He’s also got a really cool fish in a giant fishtank in the back. Pretty thing. Check it out.
More than likely, I’ll be back with my fifteen year old PS2 that no longer reads the disks.

My Nintendo 3DS L and R Triggers didn’t function very well. I put up with it for a while, but limited me from playing most games that required them, such as Resident Evil: Revelations. I decided to finally get them repaired, and I could have not found a better place that Videomen!
Ty, the owner of Videomen, was very friendly and knowledgeable of many video game related issues and problems, to which he can repair quickly and professionally!
Upon leaving my 3DS to be repaired, Ty took no more than 20 minutes to have the triggers working perfectly, I couldn’t believe it!
Ty gave me some tips on how to maintain the triggers from wearing out, such as not smashing them with a lot of force. He showed me the worn out triggers, and replaced them with brand new ones!
If you are looking for a video game repair shop, I would highly recommended Videomen:
+Very fast repairs
+Highly Knowledgeable
+Friendly
+Reasonable Prices
I am definitely going back to Videomen to repair any other electronics!

Recently my husband and I took in our super nintendo in to be fixed. The guy behind the counter was very helpful and up front about the fee’s associated with getting the device fixed. I loved the fact that he was honest and couldnt promise to fix the problem but said he would do everything he could. He called a couple of hours later and voila! The system is as good as new! He was very thorough and gave us instructions on how to maintain the device. We will definitely be using him for any of our repair needs and give him 5 stars!

I had a busted cooling fan & red blinking light on my Xbox slim. He knew exactly what to do. In 15 mins he made the repair, showed me that it was working & I was back home fast. AMAZING service. I have had the unit on for the last 2 hours & no red blinking light … it is back to working. Very nice & professional service & backs up his work with a warranty. I highly recommend him.

Based on other reviews here, I called Videomen to repair my son’s 3DS XL. He knew what the problem was over the phone, and fixed the console the next day when I brought it in. Excellent customer service!

Came in about a week ago with a broken iPhone, iPhone had been dropped one too many times and finally the battery inside gave out and the phone wouldn’t charge anymore.
The guy behind the counter said it would be a small fee just too look and find the problem, in three hours the phone was good as new and at a low cost, definitely coming back here again for any repair needs

This place is fantastic! Went to get my tablet fixed, the charge port couldn’t hold the charger without coming loose and the audio port wasnt working either. I brought it to Videomen and in a 1hr and 30m it was fixed. The price was reasonable and he was very helpful. Highly recommend it.

Great Place!!! I had gone to some place in Moreno Valley the guy did a horrible job and I had remember that there was a place next to my job where they fix phones games and all that I walked in there and he is the nicest guy ever he fix my phone so fast which it was loose because of the first guy that fixed it really recommend this guy for anything type of electronic. Will definitely always keep in mind he is truly the best and also so fast. Thank you so much for being so quick on re fixing someone else’s mistake :)

Videomen,
A nice place that is inexpensive and very fast. The guy fixed my PS 3 and gave me some advice too. They also fixed many different types of electronics. Thank you for everything.

It’s been six months and my PS3 is up to no good. Again. Basically, it’s just dying on me! Came back to Videomen to have the guy here fix up my PS3 once more and he worked his magic and got my old PS3 running again.
The old fat PS3s are a dying breed and the repairman and I both agreed that backing up my old PS3 data and transferring it to a new PS3 was the best way to go, rather than keep coming back after another six months.
Videomen, thank you for all the good work and advice!

2:00 pm came in with a broken top screen of my son’s Nintendo 3DSXL
6:00 pm came out with fixed top screen .
Great service, very professional and fast.
there is a private parking lot.
He said he can fix any game console, phone, ipad, ipod, iPhone etc.
Highly recommended.

Very nice! My PS3 would not read Blu-​ray or play games, but other discs played. I was told that the HD laser was out and was given ranges of $ 85 — $ 125 from various repair shops. Also the repair times of up to 2 weeks because of the special parts.
The tech at VIDEOMEN had me squared away for $ 75 and called me to come pick it up 20 mins after dropping it off. He even gave me a warranty for his service. He is excellent at what he does, and answered all my questions.

Came here after my ps3 shut down & wouldn’t start back up. I didn’t have the YLOD (yellow light of doom) that most people who’s ps3 won’t start back up but it did have a blinking red light. Explain what was wrong with it, & the guy told me this issue he’s able to fix 90% of the time & that he’d be done in about 2 hours. Came back & it’s working just as good as before, he told me my system had over heated (I take it that was one too many times cause its over heated before & would be able to start back up)
For issues like that the price is around $ 55.00 for the basic model. If it cant be fixed it’s 20 but for the work/​labor to check it out & that rolls into the cost for the repair. This place is worth checking out if your system is having a problem. They also did iPod/​phone repairs
