PlayStation faults we fix in Bournemouth

Free diagnosis, then a clear quote:

HDMI port

No picture on PS4 or PS5 despite the console powering on. We replace the port and test output at full resolution.

Disc drive

Won’t accept, read or eject discs, or grinds and clicks. We repair or replace the drive, including PS4 self-ejecting and eject button faults.

Overheating

Overheat warnings and fans at full blast. A deep clean and fresh thermal paste; PS5 liquid metal is handled with care.

Won’t turn on

Dead, beeps and shuts off, or stuck on start-up. We trace it through power supply, board and firmware, including the PS4 Blue Light of Death and PS3 Yellow Light of Death.

Storage and USB

Slow or failing drives replaced or upgraded, and broken USB ports for charging pads and accessories repaired.

Software and handhelds

Error codes, safe-mode loops and PSN issues, plus PSP and PS Vita screens and batteries.

DualSense and DualShock controller repair

Stick drift is the single most common PlayStation controller fault, on both the PS5 DualSense and the PS4 DualShock 4. We fit a new stick module rather than just cleaning the old one.

We also fix sticky face buttons and d-pads, worn L2 and R2 triggers, DualSense adaptive trigger resistance, charging ports that won’t take a cable, the built-in speaker and mic, and broken stick caps. Controller repairs carry a one-year warranty.

Buy and sell PlayStation consoles in Bournemouth

Upgrading, or after a cheaper console?

Buy pre-owned

We only sell PS3, PS4 and PS5 consoles that have passed our bench checks, and each is guaranteed for two years — something no private seller will match.

Sell yours to us

Bring in your PS3, PS4 or PS5 and we’ll assess it and make a fair offer on the spot. See we buy your devices.

PlayStation repair prices in Bournemouth

Costs depend on the model and fault — a DualSense stick is a quick job; a PS5 HDMI port or board-level diagnosis takes longer. After a free look you’ll receive a firm quote.

Nothing extra is done without your approval. The booking tool gives a rough figure in advance.

PlayStations repaired properly — not a pop-up job

The PS5, with its large cooling system, custom SSD and Tempest 3D audio, is a complex machine. We don’t rush repairs, don’t swap in inferior parts without telling you, and don’t pass your console to someone unqualified because there’s a queue.

We belong to CrC Repair®, a ten-shop repair business that opened in 2004. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

Every console is tested with real gameplay before collection. See high-quality repairs.

PlayStation repair Bournemouth — FAQs

My PS5 has power but no picture — can you fix it?

Almost certainly. A damaged HDMI port is the most common reason, often from the console being moved with the cable plugged in. We replace the port and test the output; if the HDMI chip on the board is at fault, we’ll tell you before going further.

My PS4 pulses blue and never boots — is it repairable?

The Blue Light of Death can come from the power supply, the hard drive or board-level faults. We diagnose which it is before quoting. If soldering turns out to be needed, we cover that part of the job for three months (longer only if your quote says so).

Do you still repair the PS3 Yellow Light of Death?

Yes. YLoD usually means solder joints around the processor or graphics chip have failed after years of heat. As board soldering is involved, the cover is three months, unless otherwise stated on your quote.

Can you fix DualSense stick drift?

Yes — and DualShock 4 drift too, along with sticky buttons, worn L2/R2 triggers, adaptive trigger faults, charging ports and DualSense speakers or mics.

How long does a PlayStation repair take in Bournemouth?

Ports, drives, servicing and pads tend to be finished inside a day; anything on the motherboard takes more time, and we’ll say how much before starting.

Do you buy and sell PlayStations?

Yes — PS3, PS4 and PS5. Bring yours in for an on-the-spot offer, or buy a tested pre-owned console with a two-year warranty. See we buy your devices.

What warranty comes with a PlayStation repair?

Repairs get twelve months; soldering gets three unless your quote states otherwise; any console you buy from us gets two years. Terms: warranty page.
