It depends on the model and whether the board was damaged too. A straight port replacement is the most common repair. If the pads or the HDMI chip need work, we'll show you and give you the full price before starting.

Most HDMI port replacements take 1–2 days. Board-level repairs can take longer, and we'll give you a realistic time when you drop it off.

Not always. It can also be the cable, a TV setting, or the HDMI chip behind the port. That's why we test with a known-good cable and TV first, so you don't pay for a part you don't need.

No. HDMI repair doesn't involve your console's storage, so your games, saves and account stay just as they were.

Yes. We repair HDMI ports on every PS5 model (original Disc and Digital, Slim and Pro), Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One, One S and One X.

If your console is still under manufacturer warranty, it's worth checking with them first. Keep in mind that physical damage, like a bent port from a tripped cable, is often not covered, and mail-in repairs can take weeks.

For HDMI damage, repair almost always costs far less than a new console, and you keep your games and saves. We'll tell you honestly if we think a repair isn't worth it.

Keep the cable out of walkways, unplug it before moving the console, and use a lightweight cable or a short HDMI extension so a pull doesn't yank the port. We can show you options when you pick up.
