PS5 HDMI port repair in North Providence, RI
The PS5 HDMI port sits on the main board and bends or shorts easily when the cable is yanked or the console tips while plugged in, leaving a black screen with the console still running. It is a surface-mounted HDMI 2.1 connector soldered directly to the motherboard, so there is no plug-in module to swap — the damaged port has to be desoldered with hot air and a new connector micro-soldered in its place. ProFix does this board-level repair in-store in North Providence, RI, so you keep your console, your game library, and your saves instead of replacing the system.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my PS5 turn on but show no picture?
A black screen with the system still powered is the classic sign of a damaged HDMI port; we inspect the connector and surrounding board to confirm before replacing it.
Can you replace the PS5 HDMI port without a new console?
Yes — the connector is a board-level part we desolder and swap, so you keep your console, drive, and saved games.
Do you fix bent pins inside the port?
Bent pins usually mean the connector body is compromised, so the reliable fix is a full HDMI port replacement rather than straightening pins.
How do I know it’s the HDMI port and not my TV or cable?
Rule out the easy causes first: try a different HDMI cable, a different input on your TV, and a second TV or monitor if you have one. If the PS5 still shows no picture on every screen — especially if the picture ever flickers when you wiggle the cable, or the pins inside the port look bent — the port itself is the likely fault, and our free in-store diagnostic confirms it before any work.
Will an HDMI port repair erase my games or saves?
No. The repair replaces only the physical video connector on the board — your storage is untouched, so games, saves, accounts, and settings are exactly as you left them when you pick the console up.
