If your PS5 has no signal and you have confirmed the HDMI port is damaged, the first question is usually "how much will this cost?" Here is a straightforward breakdown of PS5 HDMI port repair pricing at JWS Electronics Repair in North Babylon, NY — and what can push the price up or down.

Standard PS5 HDMI port repair: starts at $125. This covers diagnosis, removal of the damaged port with hot-air rework, installation of a new OEM-grade HDMI connector, and full video output testing at 4K resolution. Most repairs fall in this range when the port is the only damaged component and the board pads are in good condition. This is our most common HDMI repair and it is usually finished the same day or the next day.

What can increase the cost? Two things: retimer chip damage and pad damage. The retimer IC (often called the ST chip) sits near the HDMI port and manages the video signal. If the console was used with a damaged port for weeks or months, electrical stress can damage this chip. Replacing the retimer adds to the repair because the chip itself costs more and the soldering is more delicate. Board pad damage — where the copper pads that the port solders to have lifted or torn — requires trace repair or pad reconstruction before the new port can be installed. Both issues are diagnosed before quoting, so there are no surprises.

How does this compare to other options? A new PS5 costs $400–$500. Sony's out-of-warranty repair service typically runs $150–$250 and may take 2–3 weeks. They also may replace your console with a refurbished unit rather than repairing yours, which means losing your specific hardware. At $125 for a same-day repair that keeps your data, games and console intact, professional HDMI port repair is almost always the better value.

Mail-in pricing. The repair price is the same for mail-in customers — $125 and up. You cover your own inbound shipping (typically $15–$25 via USPS Priority Mail), and JWS includes free return shipping when you approve the repair. Total out-of-pocket for a standard mail-in HDMI repair is usually around $140–$150 including shipping. Start the process with the mail-in form.

Do you charge for diagnosis? No. The initial inspection and diagnosis of the HDMI port and board are free whether you proceed with the repair or not. If you decide not to repair after hearing the quote, there is no charge. The only exception is situations where extensive board-level troubleshooting beyond the HDMI area is required, and that is discussed and agreed to before any work is done.

Express and same-day options. Need it back fast? JWS offers same-day and 1-hour express service for PS5 HDMI repair for an additional fee. Standard turnaround is same-day or next-day for in-shop repairs.
