If your PlayStation 5 shows “No Signal” or has a damaged HDMI port, one of the first questions you’ll have is:
💰 “How much does it cost to fix it?”
The short answer is: PS5 HDMI port repair in 2025 typically costs between $120 and $180, depending on the extent of the damage and the technician’s experience.
But as someone who’s repaired hundreds of PlayStations at ZapFixers, I can tell you — not all HDMI repairs are the same.
Let’s break down what affects the price, what you actually get for that money, and how to avoid overpaying.
⚙️ What Determines the Cost of PS5 HDMI Port Repair?
Several factors affect the repair price:
1. Type of Damage
- Basic physical damage (bent or missing pins): $120–$150
- Burned traces or lifted pads: $150–$180
- Retimer chip replacement: $180+
If the port was forced, overheated, or previously repaired, it often requires microsoldering and trace reconstruction, which takes more time and precision.
2. Quality of Parts
Some shops use cheap HDMI ports from unverified sellers — they look identical but fit loosely and break again quickly.
At ZapFixers, we only use original-spec, reinforced HDMI connectors with full metal shielding for durability.
It’s not just about fixing the signal — it’s about preventing the same issue from returning.
3. Technician Experience
HDMI port repair is not a beginner job.
We’ve seen plenty of consoles come in after “budget” fixes that caused lifted pads, missing traces, and even dead HDMI chips.
In those cases, the second repair often costs more than doing it right the first time.
4. Diagnostic and Testing
A true professional repair includes:
- Full signal path testing from the HDMI port to the APU
- Voltage and continuity check of retimer and ESD diodes
- 4K output and temperature stability testing
That’s why a professional shop may charge slightly more — but you get a tested and guaranteed repair.
🧾 Typical Cost Breakdown
| Type of Repair | Description | Average Cost (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Simple HDMI Port Replacement | Bent pins, no internal damage | $120 – $150 |
| Port + Trace Repair | Lifted pads, missing traces | $150 – $180 |
| Retimer / HDMI Chip Work | Burnt or shorted HDMI IC | $180 – $200+ |
| Diagnostic Only | If repair isn’t possible | $75 |
⚠️ If a technician offers to “reflow” or “heat fix” the HDMI port for $50 — walk away. That’s not a real repair, and it often damages the board beyond recovery.
💬 From Our Experience
We often get consoles that were declared “unrepairable” elsewhere — but with proper equipment and time, they’re fixable.
Just last month, we restored a PS5 from California that had two missing HDMI pads and a burned retimer chip. The customer was shocked it worked again — total cost: $180, and the console was back in their hands in less than a week.
🧠 The Bottom Line
HDMI repair isn’t a one-price-fits-all job — it depends on the damage level and skill of the technician.
But you should expect to pay $120–$180 for a professional PS5 HDMI port repair in 2025.
At ZapFixers, we make sure your console doesn’t just turn on — it delivers perfect 4K output, tested and guaranteed.
