Signs your PS5 HDMI port is damaged

  • No signal or a black screen, though the PS5 powers on
  • A picture that flickers or cuts out when the cable moves
  • A loose port, or a cable that won't seat
  • Bent, broken or missing pins inside the port
  • PS5 (disc and digital), PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro

Before you book: try another HDMI cable and another input on your TV. If there's still no picture, it's most likely the port.

Consoles are warm, and bugs love them. We can't take in devices with signs of insects or droppings; if we spot any at pickup, we'll hand it right back, no charge. Why?

How it works

  1. Request it here

    Tell us the console and what it's doing. Photos help but aren't required.

  2. We pick it up curbside

    At your home, your office or a spot like a coffee shop. We never come inside.

  3. Free diagnostic

    We confirm what's wrong before any paid work. If it's more than the job you booked, you get the price first and can say no.

  4. We bring it back

    Curbside again, tested. If we can't fix it, you don't pay.

    PS5 HDMI port questions

    How much does a PS5 HDMI port replacement cost?

    $120 for the port replacement, parts and labor, and the diagnostic is free. Now and then the damage reaches the HDMI chip next to the port; if we find that, we quote it before any paid work, and you can say no and owe nothing.

    How long does it take?

    Most console repairs take 24 to 48 hours. If a part has to be ordered, we'll tell you when to expect it back before we start.

    Will I lose my games and saves?

    No. The repair doesn't touch the console's storage. As with any repair, it's still smart to keep your saves in PS Plus cloud storage or on a USB drive.

    What breaks an HDMI port?

    Usually a cable that got yanked or bent while plugged in, or a console that fell or was moved with the cable attached. Plug and unplug straight in and out, and leave the cable some slack.

    Do you come to me?

    Yes. We pick up curbside at your home, your office or a spot like a coffee shop anywhere in the Austin metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown and Kyle, and bring your PS5 back after the repair.

    Repair terms, the short version

    • Free diagnostic. You get a quote before any paid work, and owe nothing if you decline. No fix, no pay.
    • Back up your data. Repairs and resets can erase it, and we aren't responsible for data loss.
    • Your unlock code. We may ask you to remove it or share it with us for the repair. A shared code is purged from our system once the repair is complete. Never put it in a form, email or text: we'll ask at pickup.
    • Damage it already has. Opening a device can expose or worsen existing damage (cracks, liquid, swollen batteries, earlier repairs). We aren't responsible for those failures. Liquid-damaged repairs carry no warranty.
    • Payment is due when we return your device. Can't or would rather not pay for a finished repair? We'll take our parts back out and return your device as close as we can to how you gave it to us.
    • 90-day warranty on our parts and work. New drops, cracks and liquid damage aren't covered.
    • Unclaimed devices. Arrange the return within 30 days of our “it's ready” message, or a $5/day storage fee may apply. After 75 days and a final notice, an unclaimed device is considered abandoned and may be recycled or sold once we erase it.
    • Pest-free devices only. We can't accept devices with signs of pests (insects, eggs or droppings). They're returned unrepaired, at no charge.
    • Curbside only. We meet you outside and never enter your home.

    Pest-free devices only

    Insects such as roaches sometimes take shelter inside electronics, especially warm ones like game consoles, cable boxes and laptops. It can happen in any home, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

    • Why we're strict. Even a single insect or a few eggs can spread to our tools, our workspace and other customers' devices, and contamination can damage repair equipment.
    • Our policy. We don't accept or work on devices with signs of pests: live or dead insects, eggs, droppings or nesting material. They never come into our repair area.
    • What happens. We take a quick look before accepting a device. If we see signs of pests, we hand it right back; if they turn up once it's opened, we close it up and return it unrepaired.
    • No charge. You pay nothing for a device we turn away for this reason.

    Once a device has been professionally cleaned and the source treated, we may be able to take it, at our discretion. The policy in our terms (opens in a new tab).
