PlayStation problems we fix in Norwich

Each fault is tracked down before any work is charged:

PS5 HDMI port repair Norwich

Damaged HDMI sockets on PS5 and PS4 consoles are replaced at board level and tested on a screen, usually within a day, with twelve months’ cover.

Too hot or too loud

A fan that roars or a console that turns off mid-game usually needs its cooling cleaned out. We clear the heatsink and replace the thermal paste, — a year’s cover applies.

Blue light, no menu

Pulsing blue with no menu. Each suspect — drive, firmware, RAM, board — is checked one after another, and you’ll hear the result.

Disc drives

Games that won’t read, noisy drives or discs stuck inside, from PS2 to PS5. New PS5 drives are paired with the motherboard. One-year guarantee.

Storage upgrades and front sockets

SSD upgrades for PS4 and PS5, damaged front USB ports and PS4s that eject discs by themselves. Twelve months’ cover.

Software and safe mode

Failed updates, safe-mode loops and PSN sign-in problems. We back up your saves before any reinstall.

No picture? It’s probably the HDMI port

The fault we see most on PlayStations is a console that seems to work — you hear the start-up sound and the pad glows, yet the television reports nothing coming in. A cable tugged or left at an angle has usually damaged the HDMI socket.

We remove the old port from the motherboard, solder in a new one and test the picture on a real screen, often the same day. If someone has told you the board is finished, ask us to take a look before paying out for a replacement.

Controller repairs for every generation

Stick drift happens as the analogue sensors wear down. Instead of buying a new controller, we fit fresh stick modules, and we can also repair unresponsive buttons, broken or loose triggers, worn USB-C sockets and faulty headphone jacks on older DualShock pads.

You’ll pay much less than for a new pad, plus you get twelve months’ cover. We also replace PSP and Vita screens and batteries.

PS3 yellow light of death repair in Norwich

The PS3’s yellow light, flashing to red before shutting off, is its most famous failure. It happens when solder under the CPU and GPU cracks from years of heat. A reflow or reball can bring some consoles back, but not all of them.

We inspect the board before quoting and give you an honest view of the chances. This type of soldering carries three months’ cover, or longer if stated on your quote.

How much is PlayStation repair in Norwich?

A new thumbstick is a quick, low-cost job, whereas a PS5 HDMI port involves board-level soldering. Your quote depends on the model and what’s gone wrong, and nothing is opened until you give the go-ahead.

Find a guide price via our PlayStation booking page, or ask us to inspect it for free.

Careful soldering — not a pop-up job

A PlayStation HDMI socket has dozens of tiny pins on a multi-layer board, and overheating the joints ruins the board. Our irons and hot-air tools are precisely regulated, and play-test every PlayStation before it leaves the shop.

Our parent company, CrC Repair®, has fixed electronics since 2004 and runs ten shops. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

PlayStation repair Norwich — FAQs

Can you fix a PS5 with no picture on the TV?

Usually. If the console powers on and the TV says there’s no signal, the HDMI port is the most likely culprit. We often replace it on the day you bring it in, with a one-year guarantee.

Can a drifting DualSense be repaired?

Yes. We replace the worn stick module and can also fix buttons that don’t register, broken triggers and loose charging ports — far cheaper than a new controller.

My PS4 is stuck on a blue light — what’s wrong?

A dying drive, damaged firmware, faulty RAM or a board issue can all leave a PS4 glowing blue without loading. We pin down the cause first, then advise.

Why is my PlayStation so loud?

Dust and dried thermal paste make the fan work much harder. A full clean and re-paste normally quietens it down and stops overheating shutdowns.

Do you replace PS5 disc drives?

We do. Each PS5 drive is tied to its motherboard, so the replacement needs pairing — we’ll explain the process before starting. Drive repairs have a year’s guarantee.

Can you repair a PS3 yellow light of death?

Sometimes. Reworking the cracked solder under the main chips brings many back, though not every one. We inspect first; solder work of this kind has a three-month guarantee, extended only if your quote says so.

How long are PlayStation repairs guaranteed?

One year on PlayStation and controller repairs, and three months on soldering such as YLoD work. See the repair warranty.
