Put a failed HDMI port under magnification and there’s no mystery: bent pins, scorched pads, and sometimes a port that’s come completely loose from the board. That’s what we’re usually looking at before the repair even begins.
Swapping cables won’t help. The port itself is gone.
A PS5 cools itself with a fan about the size of a dinner plate. After a few years in an Innisfil living room, it’s pulled in plenty of dust and pet hair. The fan gets louder and louder, and eventually the console starts shutting itself off mid-match.
It’s not dying. It just needs a proper cleaning.

Got an older console? Give us a call — we'll be honest about whether we take it on.
$199 flat for an HDMI port replacement on a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. No “starting at” and no surprise add-ons when it’s a straightforward port swap. If we open it up and find other damage, like the encoder chip or the board, we’ll call you with the new price before doing anything else, and you decide whether to go ahead.
HDMI and overheating repairs are usually done the same day. Drop it off before 1pm on your way into Barrie and it’s typically ready to pick up before you head home. The drive is only about 20 minutes each way.
A console that won’t turn on could have a dozen different causes, from the power supply to a shorted component on the board. Tracking down the exact fault takes proper diagnosis, and sometimes parts need to be ordered. Expect 1–2 weeks, starting at $249+, and we’ll keep you updated along the way.
We use quality replacement parts matched to your exact console model, and we’ll always tell you upfront what’s going in. Every repair is backed by our 90-day warranty, so if a part we installed fails, we make it right.
It covers the parts we installed and the work we did for 90 days. If your new HDMI port stops working or the overheating comes back, bring it in and we’ll fix it at no charge. It doesn’t cover new damage like drops, spills, or a yanked cable.
Absolutely. Most of the consoles we repair are out of warranty, which is exactly when a manufacturer repair gets expensive and slow. We fix them for a flat price, usually the same day.
No appointment needed. We do recommend a quick call or email first so we can confirm your part is in stock, and try to drop off before 1pm for same-day repairs.
For HDMI and overheating issues, repair costs a fraction of a new console, and you keep all your games, saves, and settings. If it’s an older console with a major board fault, we’ll be honest about whether the repair is worth it before you spend a dime.
