Does your Xbox turn on, with the light on and the fan running, but the TV shows no picture? A broken HDMI port is the most common reason, and we fix it. An xbox series x hdmi port repair, or a repair for any Xbox, replaces the damaged port so your console shows on the TV again, for far less than a new one. 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. We fix the Series X, Series S, Xbox One, and Xbox One X. The diagnosis is free. For other Xbox problems, see our main Xbox repair page. We also fix PS5 HDMI ports.
If your Xbox 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 Xbox 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 Xbox port with a light and see bent pins or a loose socket, that points to the port. Our free check confirms it for certain.
Whatever Xbox you own, we can repair its HDMI port. The port breaks the same way across models, and the fix is the same skilled soldering job.
The Series X is the most common xbox series x hdmi port repair we see. Its port breaks from cable stress like any other, and we micro-solder a new one on so the Series X shows on the TV again.
The Series S is the smaller digital console, and its HDMI port can break the same way. We repair the Series S HDMI port with the same new-port soldering fix.
The Xbox One, One S, and the more powerful One X all use an HDMI port that can bend or come loose over time. We repair the HDMI port on all the Xbox One models too. For other Xbox One console issues, see our Xbox repair hub.
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.
An xbox series x hdmi port repair, or a repair for any Xbox model, is skilled work, and here is what it involves so you know your console is in good hands.
No. An HDMI port repair never touches your games or saved data. Everything is stored on the Xbox storage, 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 Xbox Series X 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 Xbox instead of risking it.

My Xbox 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 Xbox 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 Xbox shows on the TV again.
How much does Xbox HDMI port repair cost?
The diagnosis is free. A Series X or Series S HDMI port replacement runs $99 to $169, and an Xbox One one $89 to $149, since it is skilled soldering work. A new Series X 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.

Do you repair the HDMI port on the Series X, Series S, and Xbox One?
Yes, all of them. The HDMI port breaks the same way and gets the same fix across models: micro-soldering a new port onto the board. We repair the Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, One S, and One X. Bring in whichever Xbox you have for a free check. See our Xbox repair page for all Xbox console services.
What breaks an Xbox 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.
Will I lose my games or saves?
No. Your games and saves are stored on the Xbox storage, 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 Xbox?
Almost always worth repairing. A broken HDMI port does not mean your Xbox is dead; it works fine but cannot send a picture. Repairing the port costs a small fraction of a new Series X 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 Xbox 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.
