We do HDMI ports in-house
Most repairers send HDMI port jobs away because it is fine soldering work. We have the microscope and the gear to do it on our own bench.

PS5 repair, done properly
No picture, roaring fans, a disc drive that will not take a game, or a controller that drifts on its own. We repair the PlayStation 5 at board level in Warkworth — including the HDMI port work most shops will not touch.

The four faults we see again and again
The PS5 is a well-built machine, but it fails in predictable ways. Nearly everything that comes through our door is one of four things, and all four are repairable.
The big one is the HDMI port. Console on, light on, nothing on the television. The port sits on the board with fine pins, and knocking a plugged-in cable — a foot, a pet, a rearranged shelf — bends them. Replacing it is micro-soldering under a microscope, which is why most shops send it away. We do it here.
The rest is heat, discs and controllers. Dust chokes the heatsink and the fan gets loud before the console starts shutting itself down. Disc drives stop gripping or grinding. And DualSense sticks drift, which is a worn module rather than a console problem at all.
PS5 repairs we do
- HDMI port replacement (no picture, no signal)
- Overheating, fan noise and thermal paste renewal
- Full internal dust clean and service
- Disc drive not reading or not accepting discs
- Power faults and consoles that will not turn on
- Liquid damage assessment and board cleaning
- DualSense controller stick drift
- Controller charging port and button repair
If your console has no picture, do not keep swapping cables and TVs hoping it fixes itself — and do not force a bent HDMI plug back in, because that turns a port repair into board damage. Unplug it and bring it in.
Why bring a console here
We fix, not replace
A failed port or a clogged heatsink does not mean a new console. We repair the actual fault and leave the rest of the machine alone.
Honest timeframes
A clean is quick. Soldering is not. We tell you which one you are in for before you leave the device with us.
Controllers too
Stick drift, dead triggers and broken charging ports on DualSense controllers — far cheaper than buying another one.

FAQ
Common questions
My PS5 has no picture but the light is on. What is wrong?
That is nearly always the HDMI port. The pins inside are fragile, and bumping a plugged-in cable is enough to damage them. It is a micro-soldering repair, not a replacement console — bring it in and we will confirm before quoting.
The fan is roaring and it keeps shutting down.
Overheating, and usually dust. A PS5 pulls a lot of air and the heatsink packs up over a couple of years. A full strip, clean and fresh thermal paste normally brings temperatures and noise right back down.
Can you fix a controller that drifts?
Yes. Stick drift on a DualSense is one of the most common repairs we do, and it is far cheaper than a new controller. We replace the worn analogue module rather than just cleaning it.
Will I lose my games and saves?
No. HDMI port, fan, thermal and disc drive repairs do not touch the internal storage. If the storage itself has failed we will discuss it with you before doing anything.
How long does a PS5 repair take?
A clean and repaste is usually same day or next day. HDMI port work takes longer because it is careful soldering — normally a couple of days, and we will give you a realistic timeframe up front.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Nearly always. A console repair costs a fraction of a new PS5, and apart from the one failed part the machine is usually in good order.

PS5 not working?
Bring it into 8/9 Fairwater Road, Warkworth, or call 027-827-0002 and describe what it is doing — we can usually name the fault over the phone.
