PlayStation 5 Repair — Charlotte, NC
PS5 Repair in Charlotte — HDMI, Overheating, Disc Drive, Liquid Metal
The PS5 is repairable — and most shops won't touch it. We do board-level PS5 work every week at our University City bench: HDMI port micro-soldering, liquid metal APU service, disc drive pairing, fan connector rebuilds, and power faults. Disc and Digital editions, original and Slim. Free diagnostic. Same or next day on most repairs.
Most common PS5 repair
PS5 HDMI Port Replacement
Black screen on a PS5 that powers on? That's almost always the HDMI port. We do this repair at board level — full micro-soldering, not a swap from a donor board. See the dedicated page for the complete treatment, DIY rescue, and what to expect.
PS5 HDMI Port Repair
PS5 Repairs We Do
HDMI Black Screen
PS5 powers on, beeps correctly, but the TV shows nothing. Almost always the HDMI port — the socket's pins collapse or delaminate from the board under repeated plug-cycling. We replace it at board level. See our dedicated PS5 HDMI port repair page for the full treatment.
PS5 HDMI Port RepairOverheating & Loud Fan
PS5 fan ramps to full speed and the console shuts down or throttles. Dust accumulation and degraded liquid metal on the APU are the cause. We do a full teardown, clean the cooling system, and service the liquid metal interface — not just a repaste.
Won't Power On
No response at all when the power button is pressed, or three beeps then shutdown. Power supply faults, blown fuses, and board-level power delivery issues — all diagnosable and repairable at our bench.
Disc Drive Issues
PS5 disc edition won't read games or won't eject. The PS5's disc drive is board-paired — it requires an authorisation handshake with the console's SoC. We handle paired drive replacements and drive mechanism repairs.
Liquid Metal Service
Sony used liquid metal thermal interface material on the PS5's APU. Liquid metal migrates over time, can cause shorts, and dries out — requiring full removal, cleaning, and reapplication. This is a precision procedure; we do it correctly.
Torn Fan Connector
The most common DIY-repair casualty on PS5: the fan ribbon connector pads tear off the motherboard when the connector is pulled at the wrong angle. We rebuild the pads and traces under the microscope and fit a new connector. Not a disposal job.

DIY repair went sideways?
We Fix the Ones Other Shops Won't Touch
The most common way PS5s arrive at our bench in worse shape than they started: a DIY deep-clean or HDMI repair, and a fan connector that tore off the motherboard on the way out. It's an easy mistake — the PS5's fan ribbon connector is fragile, and one confident pull lifts the pads right off the board. Most shops call that fatal. It isn't. We rebuild the connector pads and traces under the microscope and fit a new connector as part of finishing the repair. Bring it in as-is.
