PlayStation 5 (Disc / Slim / Pro) Repair Specialists
Broken HDMI ports, loud fans, overheating shutdowns, and power issues fixed fast.
The PlayStation 5 is a powerhouse, but frequent trips off the TV stand, loadshedding surges, and dried-up factory liquid metal are common problems across South Africa. We fix broken HDMI 2.1 ports, restore cooling with fresh liquid metal, repair surge-damaged power supplies, and solve disc drive errors with a 6-month warranty and nationwide courier collection.

Common PS5 Problems We Fix
From quick cleaning to complex board fixes, we handle every issue with care and proper testing.
HDMI 2.1 Port Replacement
Bent or broken pins inside the port prevent video from reaching your TV. We micro-solder a brand-new OEM spec HDMI 2.1 port and stress-test it in 4K at 120Hz.
- White light on console but TV says "No Signal"
- Flickering image or colored static dots
- Physically bent or pushed-in pins
Liquid Metal Re-spread & Overheating Overhaul
When stored horizontally or transported, factory liquid metal can pool away from the center of the APU chip, causing hot spots and sudden shutdowns. We safely clean oxidation and apply fresh liquid metal with a leak-proof foam seal.
- Console shuts down with no beep after 15–30 minutes of gaming
- "Your PS5 is too hot" warning message
- Fan ramps up to 100% like a jet plane
Power Supply & Loadshedding Surge Repair
Sudden power cuts or lightning surges often blow internal MOSFETs and power rails on the PS5 motherboard. We replace damaged components with high-tolerance surge-resistant parts.
- Console is completely dead with no lights or beeps
- Beeps once, blue light flashes for 1 second, then dies
- Stopped turning on right after loadshedding returned
Disc Drive Laser & Feeding Rollers Fix
If your PS5 refuses to draw game discs in or throws "Unrecognized Disc" errors, we realign the mechanical gear rollers or install a replacement optical laser deck.
- Rollers make grinding noises and won't take discs
- Disc spins loudly then says unreadable
- Disc stuck inside the drive

“Service was excellent and quick. My PS5 is as good as new.”
Themba Sithole
“A bad thunderstorm knocked power out in our street, and when it kicked back on, my Series X wouldn't turn on at all. ConsoleFix fixed the blown power board parts and saved me R10,000 on having to buy a whole new console. Super friendly service on WhatsApp.”
Anrich B.
“Both my PS5 controllers had crazy stick drift in Warzone—my gun kept aiming straight up at the sky. Upgraded both to magnetic Hall Effect sticks. The drift is 100% gone, zero deadzone needed, and courier collection in Cape Town was effortless.”
Darren V. d. M.
“Really lovely experience. Lovely staff and we were kept up to date on the progress throughout. Pretty seamless. So far, no issues with the repair and service of our PS5. Will definitely use them again.”
Jacaranda De Klerk
“My son jammed a cheap phone charger into the Switch and bent the pins inside. It wouldn't charge or turn on. Courier collected it from our home in Port Elizabeth, and 3 days later it was back working like new on our TV.”
Leanne P.
“Great service, very honest, their work is impeccable. I've been with them for 6 years. Great service, they fixed my PS4 and it's still working today, and they recently repaired my PS5.”
Antonio Dos Santos
