Under a microscope, a dead HDMI port leaves no doubt: crushed pins, torn or burnt pads, and sometimes a port that's come loose from the board altogether. We look at all of that before the repair begins.
Swapping cables won't help. The port itself is finished.
A PS5 pulls air through a fan about the size of a dinner plate. Add a few years in a Bradford basement or a new-build rec room, with dust, pet hair and drywall dust from the builder, and that fan is clogged. First the fan gets loud, then the console starts switching itself off mid-game.
It's not failing. It just can't breathe.
