Why Bossier City & Shreveport choose B.I.T.S.
BITS PC & Wireless Repair repairs and restores retro game consoles at our Bossier City shop, a short drive from Shreveport. No shipping a fragile classic across the country — bring it in, and you talk to the technician who works on it.
Old consoles fail in predictable ways: NES pin connectors wear out and the power light blinks, capacitors leak, lasers in PS1, PS2, GameCube and Dreamcast consoles weaken, cartridge save batteries run dry, and Xbox 360 and PS3 boards suffer from years of heat. We repair them on our micro-soldering bench instead of writing them off.
We also work on retro handhelds — Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and SP, Nintendo DS and 3DS, PSP, PS Vita and Sega Game Gear — and upgrade them with bright IPS screens, rechargeable USB-C batteries, new shells and louder speakers. HDMI and RGB video mods give N64, GameCube, Dreamcast and other consoles a sharp picture on a modern TV.
Every repair starts with a free diagnosis and a price you approve. Visit us at 1701 Old Minden Rd, Suite 22, Bossier City, LA 71111 — walk-ins welcome Mon–Fri 9am–6pm, or call (318) 562-3090 to check parts for your system.

Retro Console Repair & Mods questions
My NES just blinks and won’t play games. Can you fix it?
Yes. A blinking power light usually means a worn 72-pin connector or dirty cartridge contacts. We replace the connector, clean the cartridge slot and test it with your games.
Which retro consoles and handhelds do you work on?
NES, Super Nintendo, N64, GameCube, Wii and Wii U; PS1, PS2 and PS3; original Xbox and Xbox 360; Sega Master System, Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast; Atari 2600 and 7800; and Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, 3DS, PSP, PS Vita and Game Gear handhelds. Call with anything else.
Can you put a backlit IPS screen in my Game Boy?
Yes. We install IPS and backlit screen kits in the Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, GBA SP and Game Gear, and can add a rechargeable USB-C battery or a new shell at the same time.
Can you make my N64 or GameCube look good on a modern TV?
Yes — HDMI mods give N64, GameCube, Dreamcast and other consoles a clean digital picture, and RGB mods sharpen the analog signal. We’ll recommend the right option for your console and TV.
My PS2 or GameCube won’t read discs. Is it worth fixing?
Usually. Many disc problems come down to a dirty or weak laser, a worn drive motor or a misaligned tray, all of which we repair. Diagnostics are free, so you’ll know the price before deciding.
Parts for some older consoles and handhelds are no longer made, so we may need to source them. Call to check availability for your system.
Mods are hardware upgrades for your own console and games. Tell us about any mods already installed when you drop off.
