A PS5 that powers on with fans spinning and a white indicator light but shows no picture on the TV almost always has a faulty HDMI port. The most common causes are a cracked solder joint on the HDMI connector, bent or pushed-in pins, or a physically loose port from cable strain. This is a hardware fault — re-seating cables, factory resetting, or trying a new TV will not fix it. The fix is a full HDMI port replacement via micro-soldering, which we do for £60 with free UK return delivery.

"No Signal" on the TV while the PS5 is powered on indicates the console is not transmitting an HDMI signal. Around 90% of the time, this is a broken HDMI port on the PS5, not a faulty TV or cable. Quick checks: try a different HDMI cable, try a different TV input, and try a different TV. If none of these restore picture, the PS5 HDMI port itself needs replacing. We fix this for £60 — book online and post your console to our Glasgow workshop.

Common signs of a broken PS5 HDMI port: (1) no display at all, (2) picture only works when you hold the HDMI cable at a specific angle, (3) display flickers or cuts out intermittently, (4) the HDMI port feels physically loose or wobbly, (5) you can see bent or missing pins inside the port, (6) the picture works on some TVs but not others. If you experience any of these, the HDMI port likely needs replacing.

Yes — broken HDMI ports on the PS5 are one of the most common and most repairable faults. We replace the entire HDMI connector at the board level using lead-free micro-soldering, restoring the console to factory condition. The repair takes 1–2 hours of bench time and is covered by a 12-month warranty. The cost is £60 including free tracked return delivery anywhere in the UK.

StareandRepair charges a fixed £60 for PS5 HDMI port repair in the UK. This includes the replacement port, micro-soldering labour, full functional testing, and free tracked return delivery anywhere in mainland UK. Sony's out-of-warranty repair is typically £200+ for the same fault, and a new PS5 costs £400–£480.

Yes. A loose PS5 HDMI port indicates the solder joints holding the connector to the motherboard have cracked from mechanical stress. Continuing to use it will progressively damage the surrounding traces, and may eventually require board-level micro-trace repair which is far more expensive. We strongly recommend booking the £60 HDMI replacement before the fault worsens.

A Hall Effect stick upgrade replaces the original DualSense analog sticks with new modules that use magnetic Hall Effect sensors instead of traditional carbon-track potentiometers. Hall Effect sensors detect stick position via a magnetic field rather than physical contact, so they cannot wear out. This permanently eliminates stick drift — the magnet and sensor never touch, so there's nothing to degrade. We fit them for £35 per controller including free UK return delivery and a 12-month warranty.

Yes — permanently. Stick drift on the standard DualSense is caused by carbon dust building up on the resistive track inside the potentiometer-based sticks. Hall Effect sticks have no physical contact between the sensor and the moving part, so they cannot develop drift over time. Customers who have had the upgrade report drift-free performance years later. It is the only true permanent fix.

A standard stick module replacement (potentiometer-to-potentiometer) restores function temporarily, but the new sticks will eventually drift again — typically within 6–18 months of heavy use. A Hall Effect upgrade fits a completely different sensor technology that doesn't wear out. You pay once (£35) and the controller stays drift-free indefinitely, whereas standard replacements need redoing each time drift returns.

Yes. The Hall Effect modules we fit are designed as drop-in replacements with the same throw distance, return tension, and dead-zone profile as the original sticks. Most players cannot tell the difference by feel. If anything, the response is slightly more precise because the sensor reads stick position continuously without electrical noise from a worn track.

We currently fit Hall Effect sticks to the standard DualSense controller for £35 per controller. For DualSense Edge controllers please email stareandrepair@gmail.com first — the Edge uses a removable stick module system that may need different parts.

Four steps: (1) Book and pay £60 (HDMI) or £35 (Hall Effect sticks) online via Stripe. (2) Post your PS5 console or DualSense controller to our Glasgow workshop using any tracked courier such as Royal Mail Tracked 48. (3) We diagnose, repair, and fully test your device — typically the same day we receive it. (4) We return it to you with free tracked delivery anywhere in mainland UK. Total turnaround from posting to receiving back is usually 3–5 working days.

We offer PS5 HDMI repair across all of the United Kingdom via our postal service — England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This includes major cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol, Newcastle, Sheffield, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, and 80+ other locations covered on individual area pages. You don't need to be local to Glasgow — just post your console.

Yes. We only work on the HDMI port and motherboard hardware — your saved games, downloaded titles, accounts, and PSN data are stored on the internal SSD and are not touched during HDMI repair. You don't need to factory reset or sign out before sending. We never log in to your account.

Yes — we repair HDMI ports on the original PS5 (disc and digital), PS5 Slim, and PS5 Pro. The repair process and £60 price are the same across all three models. Just let us know which model when you book if it's not obvious from the packaging.

All repairs — HDMI port replacement and Hall Effect stick upgrades — come with a 12-month warranty. If the repaired component fails for any reason within 12 months of the repair date, we fix it free of charge including free return postage both ways.
