The original PS5 launched in 2020 and millions are now out of warranty. HDMI damage, no picture on the TV, a loose port, or bent pins, is the most common repair we see on this model. The port is surface-mounted to the motherboard and requires micro-soldering to replace correctly. We do this repair regularly for customers from Harrow, South Ruislip and across the wider area. From £65.
The PS5 can get stuck in a loop where it flashes a blue light continuously and never reaches the home screen. This is distinct from the PS4 version of the same fault, the PS5 BLOD has its own set of causes, including power supply faults and board level issues. We diagnose exactly what is going wrong before providing a quote, so you know what you are paying for. Call for a quote.
The original PS5 is well known for running warm. If the fan sounds like it is working flat out even in the menus, the internals need a clean and the liquid metal thermal compound on the processor needs replacing. This is a job that requires care, liquid metal is not something you apply the same way as ordinary thermal paste. We have done this repair many times for people in Eastcote, Ickenham and nearby. Call for a quote.
On the disc edition of the original PS5, laser degradation and drive mechanism faults are the usual causes of games failing to load or discs being rejected. We check the laser assembly and the drive mechanism, confirm the fault, and give you a clear repair recommendation before starting any work. Call for a quote.
The PS5 crashing when entering rest mode, or failing to resume properly afterwards, is a fault we see regularly. It can be caused by a corrupted system database, which is a software fix, or by a power delivery issue or failing storage component that requires physical repair. We diagnose the root cause before quoting. Call for a quote.
Stick drift on the DualSense is one of the most reported controller faults we deal with, the analogue stick inputs a direction without you touching it, making games unplayable. We also repair broken charging ports, unresponsive adaptive triggers and buttons that stop registering. Bring the controller in with the console and we will sort both at the same time. Call for a quote.
The PS5 HDMI port is a micro-soldering job and the liquid metal thermal compound requires precise handling. We carry out both repairs properly not with workarounds or quick fixes.
We run a full diagnostic before quoting for anything. If the fault is not repairable or not worth repairing, we tell you honestly. If a buy-in offer makes more sense, we discuss that too.
The original PS5 is enormous. We offer pick up from Harrow, Eastcote, Ickenham, South Ruislip and surrounding areas so you do not have to wrestle it into a car or onto a bus.
After every repair we connect the console to a display, check all functions and run it through its paces. It only leaves when we are confident it is working as it should.
If the repair bill is not worth it, or the console is too far gone, we will make you a fair cash offer for it as-is. We regularly buy faulty original PS5s from people in Harrow, Eastcote and across West London. Dead console, HDMI fault, BLOD, whatever the issue, call us and we will give you an honest valuation. If the unit has no resale value we will handle responsible disposal.
Call for a Valuation, 07919 188935If the PS5 pulses a blue light continuously without ever going white and loading the home screen, this is what is commonly called the Blue Light of Death. On the original PS5 this has its own set of causes, it is not the same fault as the PS4 BLOD. Power supply issues and board level hardware faults are both possible causes. We diagnose the exact problem before giving you a repair quote. Call 07919 188935 or drop it in.
PS5 HDMI port replacement starts from £65 at Tech Fix and Trade. This covers the component and all labour. The original PS5 is now well out of Sony's warranty period and professional third-party repair is the practical route for most people. We test the display output fully after the repair before returning the console.
Yes. The original PS5 uses liquid metal thermal compound between the processor and the heatsink. Over time this compound can degrade or migrate, causing temperatures to spike and the fan to run at full speed constantly. We strip the console, clean the heatsink and surrounding components, and apply fresh liquid metal, the same process Sony uses. Call for a quote. We pick up from Eastcote, Harrow and across the area.
Not necessarily. Rest mode crashes on the original PS5 can be caused by a corrupted system database, which is a software issue, or by a hardware fault such as a failing storage device or power delivery problem. We diagnose both possibilities. If it is software, we can walk you through the fix. If it is hardware, we will give you a repair quote.
