PS5 HDMI Repair Cost in Australia — Honest 2026 Guide
Shop around for a PS5 HDMI repair and you'll see everything from $150 to $400. That spread is real — and it isn't random. The price tells you what's actually being done to your console. Here's the honest breakdown, including exactly what we charge and why.
Different fault? Every PS5 job and price is on the PS5 repair page.
Honest, upfront pricing
Diagnosis confirms the final price before any work — our $88 service fee only applies if you don't proceed.
Common causes
- A $150-$180 quote is usually a port-only swap: the broken port comes off, an aftermarket port goes on, and nobody checks the retimer chip that fails alongside it in a big share of no-display PS5s
- If the retimer is the real fault, a port-only swap gives you a console that still has no picture — or one that fails again within months
- Surviving reflows without lifting pads takes a proper hot-air station and a microscope, not a heat gun
- Short warranties (90 days is common) exist because aftermarket ports fail. A 3-month workmanship warranty only makes commercial sense when the job is done right the first time
How it works
Step 1
Ask any shop: is the retimer checked, and is it covered under the same price?
Step 2
Ask what port they fit — genuine or aftermarket — and how long the warranty runs
Step 3
Ask whether shipping both ways is insured, and what happens if you decline the quote
Step 4
Then compare totals: our $340 includes the retimer under the same fixed price, insured shipping both ways on a flat $100, and a 3-month workmanship warranty

Questions, answered
How much does a PS5 HDMI repair cost?
Our PS5 HDMI repair is a fixed $340 — new port, retimer checked and replaced under the same price, microscope QC and a 3-month workmanship warranty. $400 if you want the full internal clean and fresh liquid metal done while it is open. The $150-$220 figures you see elsewhere are usually port-only swaps; $200-$350 is the range for other board-level shops. We confirm the price before any work starts — decide not to proceed and it is just our standard $88 service fee plus postage.
How does mail-in work?
We email you a prepaid, insured AusPost label. You drop it at any post office. We diagnose it and quote a fixed price. If you approve the repair, a flat $100 shipping (both ways, fully insured) is added to your invoice on top of the repair — nothing to pay upfront. If you decide not to go ahead, it's just our standard $88 service fee plus the shipping.
What if it can't be fixed?
We'll offer you a trade-in, or you can have it back unrepaired — our standard $88 service fee plus return postage applies.
What's the warranty?
3-month workmanship warranty — if our work fails, ever, we re-do it. TMR stick upgrades use magnetic sensors with no contact wear, so the sticks themselves are immune to drift.
How long will it take?
Standard turnaround is 3-8 days door-to-door. Express Post (+$49): 3-5 days. Express Workshop (+$129): same-calendar-day repair.
