Power on but no picture — check the HDMI port
It’s the PlayStation fault we see most in Tunstall. The console beeps, the pad lights up, the fan spins — yet the TV reports no input. Nine times out of ten a bent or broken HDMI socket is to blame, often from a cable pulled at an angle.
We desolder the damaged port, fit a new one and test it on a real screen, frequently on the same day. If you’ve been told the board is beyond repair elsewhere, let us have a second look before buying a new console.
Common PS5 and PS4 problems at our Stoke-on-Trent store
Tested first, so you only pay for what’s actually broken:
PS5 HDMI port repair Stoke-on-Trent
A damaged socket on a PS5 or PS4 is replaced and checked on a display. Often same-day, with a one-year warranty.
DualSense drift repair Stoke-on-Trent
Wandering characters mean worn sticks. We replace them and fix dead buttons, snapped L2/R2 triggers, weak adaptive triggers and DualShock 4 headphone jacks. Twelve months’ cover.
Overheating and loud fans
A screaming fan or mid-game shutdowns point to clogged heatsinks and dry paste. We strip, clean and re-paste, with a year’s guarantee.
Disc drive problems
Discs not reading, grinding, or stuck inside — PS2 through PS5. PS5 drives are paired to the board. One-year warranty.
Stuck on a pulsing blue light
Pulsing blue with no home screen. We check drive, firmware, memory and board before advising. Twelve months’ cover.
Storage, ports and firmware
SSD upgrades for PS4 and PS5, damaged USB ports, safe-mode loops and failed updates. We plan how to keep your saves before any reinstall.

PS3 yellow light of death repair in Tunstall
A yellow light, then red, then silence — the classic PS3 failure. Years of heat cycles crack the solder beneath the main processors. Reflowing or reballing those joints revives some consoles, but success isn’t guaranteed.
We inspect it first and tell you honestly whether it’s worth attempting. Because it’s chip-level solder work, the repair carries three months’ warranty, or the period stated on your written quote.
PlayStation repair prices in Stoke-on-Trent
Replacing a thumbstick costs a fraction of a board-level socket job, so pricing follows the model and what’s gone wrong. We quote after diagnosing, and nothing is opened until you agree.
For a guide price, use our PlayStation booking page, or bring the console in for a free check.
Skilled PlayStation soldering — not a pop-up job
HDMI replacement means soldering a fine-pitch connector onto a multi-layer board; get the heat wrong and you damage the board. We use the correct equipment, and every console is play-tested before collection.
CrC Repair® has repaired electronics since 2004 and operates ten UK stores, including this one. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
Our high-quality repairs page covers the details.
