How Much Does HDMI Port Repair Cost? PS5 and Xbox Pricing Guide

HDMI port repair cost is one of the first things console owners search for when their PS5 or Xbox stops displaying video. The typical price range at a qualified repair shop is $80 to $150, depending on the console model, the extent of damage and whether additional board-level work is needed.

What is included in the cost. A proper HDMI repair includes: full disassembly to access the motherboard, removal of the damaged port using controlled hot air, board pad cleaning and preparation, installation of a new HDMI connector with precision soldering, reassembly, and multi-resolution video output testing. Any shop quoting significantly below $80 may be cutting corners on the process or using reused ports.

What increases the cost. If the HDMI damage extends beyond the port itself — damaged board pads, a failed retimer chip (common on PS5 after prolonged use with a bad port) or traces that were lifted from a previous repair attempt — additional micro-soldering work is needed. This can add $30–$80 to the base price depending on complexity. JWS inspects for these issues during the diagnostic and quotes accordingly before starting any work.

PS5 vs Xbox pricing. PS5 and Xbox HDMI repair costs are generally similar because the soldering work involved is comparable. Xbox One models are sometimes slightly less expensive because the board layout is more accessible. PS5 Slim models may cost slightly more due to the redesigned disassembly process.

Avoid the cheapest option. HDMI repair is precision micro-soldering work. Shops quoting $40–$50 are often using hot air stations without proper temperature control, reused ports or insufficient pad preparation. A botched HDMI repair can lift pads from the board, making a future correct repair more difficult and expensive. Choose a shop with verified reviews for console HDMI repair specifically.

Mail-in pricing. For mail-in customers, the repair cost is the same — only shipping adds to the total. JWS includes free return shipping when you approve the repair.
