PS5 HDMI Port Not Working – How to Diagnose and Fix No Signal Issue
If your PS5 has no signal, no image on the screen, or the HDMI connection only works when the cable is moved — the HDMI port may be damaged.
👉 Before opening the console, check if the system is actually working.
Look for a solid white light.
● Quick Check – Is Your PS5 Working?
- Turn on the console.
- Look for a solid white light.

● Diagnostics
- Inspect HDMI port for bent or broken pins.
- Check console LED (white = system is running).

● HDMI Port Replacement
This repair requires experience – incorrect technique can damage the motherboard.
- Preheat the board to ~160°C. Use hot air at ~420°C (airflow 2–3).
- Apply flux and a small amount of fresh solder.

- Align and solder the new HDMI port.
● Testing After Repair
- Repeat diode test and compare values.
- Connect PS5 to a TV or monitor.
- Check if image is stable and not flickering.
