📍 95 Mill St, Springfield, MA 01108

Damaged HDMI Port – No Display or Black Screen?

One of the most common PS5 issues we see is a broken HDMI port. If your PS5:

Doesn’t show a signal on your TV
Only works when you “wiggle” the HDMI cable
Has visible damage inside the port

...then you’re likely dealing with a damaged HDMI port.

🔧 How We Fix It:
We perform professional micro-soldering to replace your HDMI port using OEM-quality parts. Every unit is thoroughly tested to ensure perfect video output and sound — no glitches, no distortion.

Springfield gamers love our fast HDMI repair service, often completed within 24–48 hours.

Power Issues – PS5 Won’t Turn On?

Is your console completely unresponsive or shutting off randomly? You could be facing:

A faulty Power Supply Unit (PSU)
A motherboard failure
A software-level power conflict

⚡ How We Fix It:
We start with a free diagnostic to isolate the issue. If it’s hardware, we replace PSUs, power chips, or internal components. If it’s software, we’ll reset or reinstall the system. Most power repairs are done within two days.

Overheating – Loud Fans or Sudden Shutdowns?

If your PS5 sounds like a jet engine or turns off mid-game, it’s likely overheating due to:

Dust-clogged fans or vents
Expired or dried-out thermal paste
Internal temperature regulation issues

🔥 How We Fix It:
We clean your console inside-out, replace thermal paste, and repair or replace cooling fans if necessary. Your PS5 will run cool, quiet, and stable after service.

Pro Tip: If your console feels hot to the touch, turn it off and bring it in ASAP — prolonged heat can cause permanent motherboard damage.

Controller Drift – Characters Moving on Their Own?

If your PS5 Dual Sense controller makes characters move when you’re not touching the joystick, you’re experiencing the infamous joystick drift. This is usually caused by:

Worn-out stick sensors
Dust or debris buildup inside the controller

🎮 How We Fix It:
We fully disassemble the controller, clean the analog module, and replace worn sensors if needed. Then we recalibrate everything for smooth, precise movement.

Software Errors & Crashes – Frozen Games or System Glitches?

If your PS5 gets stuck on:

The loading screen
Game updates
Crashes during gameplay

…it could be due to corrupted software, update bugs, or storage conflicts.

🧠 How We Fix It:
We perform safe resets, OS reinstalls, or deep storage cleanups without erasing your saved data (unless needed). We walk you through every step before doing anything.
