If your PlayStation 5 (PS5) suddenly shows “no signal” on your TV, or the image keeps cutting out, you’re likely dealing with a damaged HDMI port. It’s one of the most common issues PS5 owners face — but it’s also one of the easiest to fix professionally.
At LaptopFixNZ, we specialise in PS5 HDMI port repairs for Christchurch gamers. With fast turnaround times, genuine parts, and precision micro-soldering, we’ll get your console back up and running quickly — so you can return to your favourite games without interruption.
Why PS5 HDMI Ports Break
The HDMI port on your PS5 is a small but fragile connector. It only takes a bit of pressure or movement to damage it.
Here are the most common reasons it fails:
Cable pulled too hard or console knocked while plugged in
Bent HDMI pins or cracked solder joints inside the port
Overheating or dust buildup causing poor connections
Frequent plugging/unplugging with tight or misaligned cables
Once the pins inside the port bend or break, your console can’t send video to the TV — leaving you with that frustrating “no signal” screen.
Signs Your PS5 HDMI Port Needs Repair
Not sure if the HDMI port is the problem? Look for these signs:
The PS5 turns on (white light) but no image appears on the screen
Flickering or distorted display when moving the cable
The HDMI cable feels loose or wobbly in the port
Visible bent pins or cracks inside the port
If you notice any of these symptoms, bring your console to us for a quick diagnosis — we’ll confirm the issue before doing any repair work.
