Most common PS5 Repairs
PS5 HDMI Port Replacement - Black Screen
The HDMI Ports on PS5 consoles are very sensitive and can easily break. Faulty HDMI will result in a PS5 black screen or "No Signal" on your TV or monitor. As long as the light on your PS5 turns to steady white colour, there is an excellent chance that replacing the HDMI will fix the problem.
We always replace and never attempt to repair the HDMI port. In some cases, the pads on the motherboard can get damaged if you drop or mishandle the unit. With our experience, we can usually rebuild the missing pads and get your PS5 up and running again.
PS5 Overheating & Turning Off
We had numerous calls and reports of PS5 Turning Off after an hour or two of mainly playing PS5 games. We found that to be caused by the CPU in your PS5 overheating and shutting off to prevent any damage.
The cause of PS5 Overheating is a combination of a collection of dust and pet hair in the console, as well as the liquid metal used as a thermal conductor between the CPU and the heatsink drying out and not covering the entire surface of the CPU (see photos below). We will give your PS5 a thorough, detailed clean and replace the liquid metal on the CPU. This will prevent your console from overheating and shutting off.
Bluray Disc Drive Repairs
Even though not as common as the previous two issues, we are already getting some PS5 consoles for Bluray disc drive repair. Of course, you will not experience this problem if you have the "digital version" of PS5 without the disc drive.
The most common problem with the disc drives is the laser, the electronic component responsible for reading the Bluray discs. It can fail for no apparent reason, but it often results from not keeping your discs clean. A faulty laser will have to be replaced. Another common problem is the mechanism of the disc drive failure due to foreign objects inserted into the disc drive.
File System Corruptions
PS5 consoles use internal, built-in, SSD storage to store the operating system files, your installed and downloaded games, game updates, game progress, screenshots, video captures etc. Corruption of this internal storage can cause the system to refuse to boot up and various system errors can occur.
The best way to prevent system corruption is to make sure you perform the complete shutdown procedure before you unplug the console from the power. Also, ensure you never unplug the console or interrupt the system update process.
Even though we cannot replace the internal storage on PS5 (at least not yet), we can take several steps to try and recover the system and get it up and running again.
Self-Inflicted Issues
We have seen it so many times with previous generations of the consoles, and the history is repeating with PS5. In attempt to repair the console themselves, and maybe save some money, people follow various YouTube videos and more often than not, cause serious damage to the console. Repairing so self-inflicted damages will often cost you more than the original cost of the repair, and in some cases you may end up with a console which cannot even be repaired. Our "no fix - no fee" policy does not apply to self-inflicted damage repairs.
The most common self-inflicted damages involve ripping off the board’s connectors, damaging ribbons connecting various parts of the console with the motherboard, etc.
The photos below show an example where a customer ripped off the fan connector while trying to open the console and clean it. We had to rebuild the pads on the motherboard in order to connect the fan and still had to give the console a proper clean.
