Common causes include:
- The console being knocked or dropped while connected
- Accidental force applied to the HDMI cable
- Frequent plugging and unplugging of cables
- Transporting the console between different locations
- Wear from regular use Damage caused during previous repair attempts

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the repair take?
Most PS5 HDMI port replacements are completed within 1–2 working days, although repairs involving additional motherboard damage may take longer or may not be possible.
Will I lose my saved games?
Replacing the HDMI port does not affect your games, saved data or storage, but you should always backup your data before bring in a machine in for repair as data isn’t not our responsibility.
Can a damaged HDMI port always be repaired?
Often, yes — even sockets that have come away from the board can usually be repaired. However, if the damage has torn the underlying PCB traces or affected other components, a full repair may not always be possible. We’ll inspect the board and let you know any issues like that if they arise.
My PS5 has “No Signal”. Is it definitely the HDMI port?
Not always. Although a damaged HDMI connector is the most common cause, other faults such as HDMI encoder chips or motherboard damage can produce similar symptoms. We’ll diagnose the fault and recommend the appropriate repair.
How much does a PS5 HDMI port repair cost?
Repair costs depend on the extent of the damage. Please contact us and we can give you up to the minute pricing. While getting a Ps5 HDMI port fixed, if you’d like a liquid metal refresh and cooling system clean at the same time as the port replacement we can also quote for that. We’ll provide a clear quotation before any repair work begins, with no hidden charges.
Do I need to buy a new PlayStation 5?
Usually not. In many cases, replacing the damaged HDMI connector restores the console to full working order, making repair far more cost-effective than replacing the entire console, especially as prices for the consoles continue to increase.
Is there a warranty on the repair?
Yes. All HDMI port repairs come with a 3-month warranty from the date the work is completed.
