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.
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
- Genuine ports cost more than aftermarket, and 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 lifetime 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 lifetime workmanship warranty
