Does your PS5 turn on, with the fan running and the light on, but the TV shows no picture? A broken HDMI port is the most common reason, and we fix it. A ps5 hdmi port repair replaces the damaged port so your PS5 shows on the TV again, for far less than a new console. The HDMI port is the socket where the TV cable plugs into the back, and it breaks easily if the cable gets yanked or knocked. We remove the broken port and solder a new one on. As a trusted PS5 HDMI repair shop, we do this every week. The diagnosis is free. We repair PS4 HDMI ports too, covered further down. For other PS5 problems, see our main PlayStation repair page. We also fix Xbox HDMI ports.
If your PS5 powers on but the TV stays black, and you have already tried another cable and TV input, the HDMI port on the console is usually the problem. This is one of the most common PS5 repairs we do, and it is very fixable.
Before any repair, try a different HDMI cable and a different HDMI input on your TV, since a bad cable or input is a free fix. If you look into the PS5 port with a light and see bent pins or a loose socket, that points to the port. Our free check confirms it for certain.
Knowing the cause helps you avoid it next time. Almost every broken HDMI port comes from stress on the cable while it is plugged in.
Once the port is bent or loose, no cable will give a steady picture, and it needs a proper repair. A tip for later: leave a little slack in the cable so a tug does not reach the port.
A PS5 HDMI port repair is skilled work, and here is what it involves so you know your console is in good hands.
We repair PS4 HDMI ports too, and it is the same kind of fix. If your PS4 turns on but shows no picture on the TV, a broken HDMI port is usually why, and we can solder a new one on. This covers the standard PS4, the PS4 Slim, and the PS4 Pro.
The PS4 HDMI port breaks the same way the PS5 one does, from cable stress, and the same bent pins or loose socket cause the black screen. We micro-solder a new port onto your PS4 board and test it on a TV, so your console shows a picture again without the cost of a replacement. For other PS4 issues, see our PS4 controller repair page or the PlayStation repair hub.
No. An HDMI port repair never touches your games or saved data. Everything is stored on the PlayStation hard drive, separate from the HDMI port we repair. Your console comes back just as you left it, showing on the TV again. If you are ever worried about losing files on any device, see our data recovery page.
For most people, yes, by a wide margin. A new PS5 costs around $450 to $500, while an HDMI port repair is a small fraction of that. We always give you the honest math.

You will find HDMI port repair kits and videos online, and we will be honest: this is one repair you should not do yourself unless you are trained in soldering. A wrong move can ruin the whole console.
Replacing an HDMI port means removing a part soldered onto the motherboard and soldering a new one on, all around tiny, delicate points. Too much heat or a slip can damage the board for good, turning a fixable console into a dead one. This is skilled work that needs a microscope and the right tools. Our repair is done by trained hands and comes with a warranty, so you protect your PS5 instead of risking it.
This page is about the HDMI port. If your PlayStation has a different problem, we have the right page for it.

My PS5 turns on but there's no picture on the TV. Is it the HDMI port?
Usually, yes, especially if you have already tried another cable and TV input. When the PS5 powers on but the TV stays black, the HDMI port on the console is often bent or loose from cable stress. We check it for free, confirm the cause, and micro-solder a new port on so your PS5 shows on the TV again.
How much does it cost to fix a PS5 HDMI port?
The diagnosis is free. A PS5 HDMI port replacement runs $99 to $169, and a PS4 one $89 to $149, since it is skilled soldering work. A new PS5 is around $450 to $500, so the repair saves you a lot. If the board around the port is also damaged, we quote that after the free check. You approve the price first. Get a free quote or call (703) 594-9339.
What breaks a PS5 HDMI port?
Almost always cable stress. If the HDMI cable gets yanked, tripped over, or the console is knocked while plugged in, the tiny pins inside the port bend or the port comes loose from the board. After that, no cable gives a steady picture. Leaving some slack in the cable helps prevent it next time.
Can you fix a PS4 HDMI port too?
Yes. The PS4 HDMI port breaks the same way and gets the same fix, micro-soldering a new port onto the board. We repair the standard PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro. If your PS4 turns on but shows no picture, bring it in for a free check. See our PlayStation repair page for all PS4 console services.
Will I lose my games or saves?
No. Your games and saves are stored on the PlayStation hard drive, separate from the HDMI port we repair. We only work on the port, so your console comes back just as you left it, with all your data intact and a picture on the TV again.
Is it worth repairing the HDMI port or buying a new PS5?
Almost always worth repairing. A broken HDMI port does not mean your PS5 is dead; it works fine but cannot send a picture. Repairing the port costs a small fraction of a new PS5 and keeps all your games and saves. If the console has other major faults too, we will tell you honestly at the free check.
Can I replace the HDMI port myself with a kit?
We do not recommend it unless you are trained in soldering. Replacing the port means removing a soldered part from the motherboard and soldering a new one on, around delicate points. Too much heat or a slip can ruin the whole console. It is skilled work with a microscope, so a professional repair protects your PS5 instead of risking it.
How long does the repair take?
The free diagnosis is usually same day. The HDMI port replacement itself often takes 1 to 2 days, because the soldering must be done carefully and then tested on a TV to be sure the picture is solid. We never rush the soldering, since doing it right protects your console.
