HDMI port: the most common repair

The HDMI port most often breaks off or bends when the console falls with the cable plugged in or someone pulls on the cable. If the console runs (the light is on, the fan spins) but the TV has no picture, it is almost certainly the HDMI port. We replace the port and also check the circuit behind it on the board.

Prevention: cleaning and overheating

Consoles in a closed TV cabinet or against a wall quickly collect dust. Noise, hot air and shutting down while gaming are the first warning signs. A console that is cleaned from time to time runs more quietly and lasts longer – and you avoid a more expensive board repair.

Controllers

Drifting sticks, broken buttons or charging problems on DualSense, DualShock or Xbox controllers can usually be fixed by replacing a part. Send us the controller model and what isn't working.

Frequently asked questions

My PS5 has no picture but the light is on. What is it?

Most often a damaged HDMI port or the circuit behind it. We replace the port and test both picture and sound.

Will I lose my games and saves?

During a standard hardware repair, your data stays. If the drive is being replaced, we recommend backing up your saves to the cloud or a USB drive beforehand – we will tell you how.

My console overheats and shuts down. Will cleaning help?

In most cases yes. We clean the cooling, replace the thermal paste and check the fan.

Do you also repair the Nintendo Switch?

Yes – the charging connector, screen, card reader, Joy-Con controllers and power supply.

Do you charge for diagnostics?

If we do the repair, diagnostics are free. They're also free if the repair would cost more than a new device – we'll tell you straight and you pay nothing. You only pay for the diagnostics themselves if the repair is worth doing but you decide not to have it done with us.

What warranty do you give on repairs?

We give a 24-month warranty on every part we replace during a repair. If a replaced part stops working during that time, we'll sort it out free of charge.
