The PS5 HDMI port fault is one of the most common console repairs we carry out at The Mobile People in Rochdale. If your PS5 is turning on but showing no picture on your TV, a damaged HDMI port is almost always the cause. Here is what goes wrong, why it happens, and how we fix it.
The PS5 uses an HDMI 2.1 port to output video and audio to your television. This port sits on the motherboard and, over time, can become damaged. Pins can bend or break if the HDMI cable is inserted at an angle or if the cable is pulled while the console is in use. The port can also be damaged if the console is moved while a cable is plugged in.
Symptoms of a damaged PS5 HDMI port include: no picture at all on the TV, a flickering or unstable image, the TV failing to detect the console, or poor picture quality such as resolution dropping to 480p.
The PS5 HDMI 2.1 port handles significantly higher data throughput than previous generation ports. The port itself is slightly more delicate than older HDMI ports, and the combination of frequent cable connection and disconnection, combined with the weight of the HDMI cable putting pressure on the port, can lead to damage over time. It is not a design flaw as such, more a result of heavy daily use.
Yes. PS5 HDMI port repair is a specialist soldering job that requires removing the damaged port from the motherboard and fitting a new one. It is not a repair that should be attempted at home as incorrect soldering can cause permanent motherboard damage. Our technicians at The Mobile People have the specialist micro-soldering equipment and experience to carry out this repair correctly.
The repair typically takes 2 to 4 hours. In most cases we can have your PS5 back to you the same day. We test the output at multiple resolutions including 4K and 120Hz before returning the console to make sure everything is working correctly.
We repair PS5 HDMI ports for customers from Rochdale, Heywood, Middleton, Bury, Bolton, Oldham and across Greater Manchester. The repair comes with a 12-month warranty and our no fix, no fee guarantee.
If you are unsure whether your PS5 fault is HDMI related, bring it in and we will run a free diagnostic to confirm the issue before quoting.

If your iPhone screen is cracked, smashed or completely unresponsive, the first question most people ask is: how long will the repair take? The good news is that at The Mobile People in Rochdale, most iPhone screen repairs are completed while you wait. Here is what to expect.
For the majority of iPhone models, a screen replacement takes between 30 and 60 minutes from the moment you drop your phone off. Our technicians carry out iPhone screen repairs every day and have the experience to work efficiently without cutting corners.
You are welcome to wait in the shop or nip out and come back. We will contact you as soon as your phone is ready.
Older iPhone models such as the iPhone 6, 7, 8 and SE range are generally the quickest repairs as the screen assembly is straightforward to access. Newer models including the iPhone 12, 13, 14 and 15 series take slightly longer due to additional components such as Face ID sensors and OLED display calibration, but are still typically completed within an hour.
