Why Drive To The Mailbox When We're In Barrie?

OUR MOST-REQUESTED REPAIR

Black Screen? “No Signal”? That's The HDMI Port.

Console powers on, fan spins, the light comes on — and your TV insists nothing is plugged in. Nine times out of ten that's a damaged HDMI port or encoder. It is a precision soldering job, and the repair we've done more than any other.

$199 flat for PS5, PS5 Slim and PS5 Pro. Not “starting at.” $199.
Dropped off before early afternoon? Usually back the same evening.
We’ve done this repair 150+ times. We are not learning on your console.
If the port is not the problem, you do not pay for a repair you did not need.

Same-day and $199 assume a straightforward port replacement. If we find additional damage — a bad HDMI encoder, board-level issues, or damage from a previous repair attempt — the price and timeline can change. We always call with the diagnosis and a new price before doing any further work, and you decide whether to proceed.

Sony's price: $269–$329, plus 2–3 weeks and shipping both ways.

Your PS5 Shouldn't Sound Like It's Preparing For Takeoff

A PS5 pulls air through a fan the size of a dinner plate. After a few years in a Barrie 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.

Full teardown, dust removal, and cleanout
Liquid metal reapplied and corrected
Thermal-tested under load before it leaves
$170, and usually back within 24 hours

COOL MY PS5 DOWN — $170

Most consoles three years old or older are overdue. If it is loud now, it has already been overheating.

Same Day Means Tonight — Not Three Weeks From Tonight

Most shops that “fix” consoles box yours up and mail it to a hub. We do the soldering ourselves, in Barrie, at the bench.

Driving from Orillia, Huntsville, Collingwood, Wasaga, Angus, or Midhurst? Drop it off, get dinner, and pick it up on the way home. Tell us you are driving back the same day and we'll work around it.

Local? You want to play tonight. Not in three weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your PlayStation Questions, Answered (Yes, Even The Ones You Feel Weird Googling)

HDMI port replacement is $199 flat — no "starting at," no surprise add-ons if it's a straightforward port swap. That's the price when the port itself is the problem and nothing else is damaged. If we open it up and find the encoder chip or board is also affected, we'll call you with the new price before touching anything further, and you decide whether to move ahead.

Depends entirely on what's actually wrong. HDMI port replacement and overheating repairs are usually same day — drop it off, and in most cases you're back playing that night. Repairs with a clear, known cause are always faster than ones we have to dig for. No-power issues take longer since we have to open the console up and actually investigate before we know what we're dealing with — see the next question for why.

Because there's no single obvious cause. An HDMI port failure is usually just the port. A no-power console could be a dead power supply, a blown capacitor, a shorted chip, or something further upstream on the board — and the only way to know is to open it and test it piece by piece. We do this diagnostic work ourselves, at the bench, rather than guessing. We're honest that we don't have a 100% fix rate on no-power issues — sometimes the damage is beyond a reasonable repair. If that happens, we'll reassemble your console and hand it back exactly as it came in. A diagnostic fee applies for the time spent investigating, whether the repair is completed or you decide not to proceed once you hear the price.

We use quality replacement parts sourced from trusted suppliers — for HDMI ports and boards, that means components built to match OEM spec. Sony doesn't sell most console-level parts to independent repair shops the way some phone manufacturers do, so "genuine Sony" isn't an option anyone in independent console repair actually offers. What matters is proper installation — the pad prep and soldering technique is what separates a repair that lasts from one that fails again in six months.

The 90-day warranty covers defects in the repair itself — if the part we installed fails, or the repair wasn't done correctly, we fix it at no charge. It does not cover new damage from drops, spills, power surges, or anything that happens after the console leaves our hands — if Sparkles the dog decides your PS5 belongs on the floor, that's a new repair, not a warranty claim. We'll always be straight with you about which situation you're in.

Yes — most of what we see is console out of Sony's warranty window, since that's usually when people start looking for local repair instead of mailing it in. Independent repair doesn't affect anything with a used or resale console the way it might with a device still under active manufacturer coverage.

We work best by appointment — email or call ahead so we know you're coming and can look at your console the moment you arrive instead of you waiting around or catching us mid-repair on someone else's board. For HDMI and overheating jobs, most people who book ahead are back the same day if dropped off before early afternoon. It only takes a minute to set up — call (705) 481-1572 or use the quote form on this page.

Depends on the console and the fault. HDMI port and overheating repairs are almost always worth it — $199 or $170 versus many hundred dollars for a replacement console is an easy call. No-power repairs are more of a judgment call, since the fix isn't guaranteed and diagnostic time adds up — we'll tell you honestly what we're seeing once we've opened it up, and you can decide from there.
