Under magnification, a failed HDMI port is obvious: bent pins, burnt pads, sometimes a port that's come right off the board. That's what we're looking at before the repair starts.
It's not your cable. The port is dead.
A PS5 pulls air through a fan about the size of a dinner plate. After a few years in an Alliston basement or rec room, that fan has sucked in a lot of dust and pet hair. It gets loud, and then the console shuts off mid-match.
Your console isn't dying. It needs a proper cleaning.
