The PS4 Pro may be an older generation but it is still in millions of living rooms across West London, and it has well-documented issues that get worse with age. Overheating, HDMI faults, Blue Light of Death and hard drive failures are all things we deal with regularly. HDMI port replacement from £65.
Pick up available from Ruislip, Northwood, South Ruislip, Ickenham and the surrounding area.
The PS4 Pro was Sony's first console to offer 4K HDR output, which means the HDMI port carries more data than the original PS4 version. When it is damaged, bent pins, a loose connection, or physical impact, the signal loss is obvious straight away, particularly on a 4K television. We see this regularly from customers in Ruislip and Northwood whose consoles have been knocked or had cables yanked. From £65.
The PS4 Pro has a well-earned reputation for running hot. The fan works overtime under load, and after a few years the thermal paste on the processor dries out completely. Dust accumulates inside the case, particularly in South Ruislip and Ickenham homes where the console lives in a TV unit with limited airflow. The result is a console that shuts itself down mid-game to protect itself. We strip it, clean everything out and re-paste it properly. Call for a quote.
The PS4 Pro gets the same Blue Light of Death as the standard PS4, a blinking blue light that never turns white, meaning the console never successfully boots. Power supply faults and hard drive issues are the two most common causes on this model. We never guess at the cause: we run a full free diagnostic and tell you exactly what is wrong before quoting for a repair. Call for a quote.
The PS4 Pro uses a standard 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive, the same type used in laptops, and these fail over time. Slow loading times that get worse month by month, frequent system crashes, corrupted save data and the console failing to start are all signs the drive is on its way out. We diagnose it first to confirm the drive is the cause, then replace it and restore the system software. Call for a quote.
The PS4 Pro can sometimes fail to negotiate a picture with certain televisions over HDMI, particularly older sets or those that are strict about HDCP compliance. This can look like an HDMI port fault but is actually a settings or handshake problem. We diagnose whether the issue is the physical port or a software and compatibility issue, and advise accordingly. Call for a quote.
A disc that will not eject, or worse, is stuck inside, is a mechanical fault in the eject system that we can fix without breaking the drive. Separately, some PS4 Pro units developed a coil whine or buzzing sound from the power supply area, which is annoying and unsettling but usually addressable. Do not try to force a stuck disc out yourself. Bring it in or call us for pick up. Call for a quote on both faults.
PS4 Pro HDMI repair requires micro-soldering. The overheating fix requires a full strip-down. We do not take shortcuts we do the job thoroughly so it does not need doing again in six months.
The PS4 Pro is an older console. If the repair cost is more than the console is worth, we will tell you that plainly and offer to buy it from you instead. No pressure, no upselling.

The PS4 Pro is getting on in years, and sometimes the repair cost simply does not make sense against what the console is worth. If that is your situation, we will give you a cash offer for it as-is. We regularly buy faulty PS4 Pros from people across Ruislip, Northwood and South Ruislip, overheating, dead, BLOD, HDMI fault, whatever the problem. Even if the unit has no direct resale value we can use the parts. Call us and we will give you a straight answer.
Call for a Valuation, 07919 188935Yes, and it is one of the most common repairs we carry out on the PS4 Pro. Years of dust build-up combined with dried-out thermal paste is the typical cause. The fan has to work harder and harder to compensate, until eventually the console shuts down to protect itself. We strip it fully, clean the heatsink and fan assembly, and apply fresh thermal paste. The difference in noise and temperature afterwards is significant. Call for a quote.
