So you sat down to fire up your PS5, maybe to dive into a late-night Call of Duty session or finally finish that God of War boss fight you’ve been stuck on—and nothing happened. Black screen. No signal. Maybe you jiggled the cord. Switched HDMI cables. Tried a different TV. Turned it off and back on (because that’s always worth a shot, right?). But nope, still nothing.

If this sounds familiar, there’s a good chance your PS5 HDMI port is damaged, and you’re not alone. At Cellworx in Columbus, Ohio, we’ve seen this issue hundreds of times, and the good news is—we fix it fast.

Whether your HDMI port is completely broken, slightly bent, or just plain refusing to cooperate, we’ve got the tools, the skills, and the experience to get you back in the game.

Why Is the PS5 HDMI Port So Easily Damaged?

Sony packed a lot of power into the PlayStation 5, but let’s be honest—the HDMI port isn’t exactly bulletproof.

Here’s why it’s such a common issue:

• Tight fits: The PS5 HDMI port is snug, which means forcing a cable in even slightly off-angle can cause damage.
  
  

• Frequent plugging/unplugging: Moving your console between rooms? Taking it to a friend’s house? HDMI wear and tear adds up.
  
  

• Accidents happen: One tug from a curious pet, a clumsy roommate, or a VR cable mishap and boom—bent pins or a cracked port.
  
  

The PS5 only has one HDMI output, so if it breaks, your gaming comes to a full stop. But don’t panic—this isn’t the end of your PS5. It’s just time to call the pros.

Signs Your PS5 HDMI Port Needs Repair

If you’re not sure whether the HDMI port is the issue, here are the most common signs we see:

• Black screen/no signal on the TV, even though the PS5 powers on.
  
  

• TV displays “No Input” or “No Signal” even when the HDMI cable is confirmed to work.
  
  

• Wiggling the HDMI cable causes the screen to flicker or temporarily connect.
  
  

• Bent or missing pins when you look inside the port with a flashlight.
  
  

• You tried a new cable, new TV, different HDMI ports on the TV—and nothing worked.
  
  

If any of that sounds familiar, your HDMI port is likely damaged. And that’s where Cellworx comes in.

How the PS5 HDMI Repair Works at Cellworx

Wondering what the process looks like? It’s pretty simple:

Step 1: Bring in Your Console

No appointment needed—just walk into our shop and let us know what’s going on. If you’re not sure it’s the HDMI port, we’ll run diagnostics for free to confirm the issue.

Step 2: We Repair the HDMI Port

Our team will disassemble your PS5, desolder the damaged HDMI port, and professionally install a new one. We also inspect the HDMI chip (known as the Panasonic “Retimer” IC) because in some cases, it may also need to be replaced.

Step 3: We Test Everything

We don’t just plug it in and hope it works. Every PS5 goes through multi-point testing, including 4K output on multiple TVs, different refresh rates, and gameplay load tests.
