Repairing older Sony game consoles
PS5 HDMI ports are the number one console repair we do; the port is soldered to the board and replaced under the microscope. Overheating from dried liquid metal on the PS5’s processor is repairable. DualSense stick drift is fixed with Hall-effect or replacement sticks. Disc drives on the PS5 and PS5 Slim are modular. PS4 Pro fans and power supplies are the usual older-console jobs.
Models covered
PlayStation 5, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro, PlayStation Portal, PS4 and PS4 Pro, DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers. If yours is not named here, bring it in anyway; if it has a circuit board, we work on it.
What usually fails at this age
Batteries first: anything more than two years old that will not hold a charge, shuts off early or has started to swell needs a new cell. Then hinges, ports and drives, all of which are quick, inexpensive repairs on older game consoles. Screens for the common models are stocked; the rest are ordered.
Turnaround
Same day on stocked parts, 3 to 5 business days when ordered. We check parts availability and give you the price before you commit.

Questions
Older Sony console FAQ
Can you fix a PS5 HDMI port?
Yes. It is board-level micro soldering and we do it in house, usually within a few days.
Does DualSense drift ever go away?
No, but we replace the sticks, and with Hall-effect sticks it does not come back.
My PS5 sounds like a jet. Why?
Dust and, on early units, degraded liquid metal. A clean and repaste fixes it.
Is an older Sony console worth repairing?
Often, yes. Parts for older game consoles cost less than for current ones, and a new battery, screen or drive gives most of them years of use. We quote after a free diagnostic and tell you honestly when it is not worth it.
Can you still get parts for an older Sony console?
For most models from the last ten years, yes. Common parts are stocked and the rest are ordered within 3 to 5 business days. We check availability before you commit.
