Once an HDMI port goes, it's not subtle under magnification — bent pins, scorched pads, sometimes a port that's fully detached from the board. This is what we're actually looking at before we get to work.
That's not a bad cable. That's a dead port.
A PS5 pulls air through a fan the size of a dinner plate. After a few years in a Collingwood living room it is pulling through dust and pet hair. The fan screams. Then the console shuts itself off mid-match.
That is not the console dying. That is the console asking to be cleaned.
