Another common issue affecting gamers in Southampton is the Playstation 5 hdmi port getting damaged. Due to the popularity of the Playstation 5 it is often moved from place to place and this can cause wear on the HDMI port resulting in no output to the TV screen from the Playstation 5.

It’s also quite common for the HDMI to partially fail and display a low resolution image instead the high resolution image the console normally displays.

We get many requests to fix the DVD drive on Playstation 5. These problems include Playstation not accepting discs as well as laser problems which means your Playstation cannot read DVD discs. Playstation not accepting discs can be caused by the game discs being forced into the drive rather than letting the console draw the disc in on its own power. It’s also not unheard of for young children to insert objects such as keys, coins and credit cards into the DVD disc slot which causes a jam and stops the loading mechanism of the Playstation 5 from working correctly, we can normally fix this without any extra parts. With laser problems you might need a new laser deck which will cost around £110 for the full service.

Gamers in Southampton sometimes experience a PS5 that just completely dies for no reason at all, or at least is seems like no reason at all. The root of this problem could be a faulty power supply which is nice and straight forward. Or it could be a faulty component on the motherboard. We’ve had many instances where a single tiny capacitor has failed and that stops the Playstation 5 from powering up. Fixing this type of issue require a lot of skill and patience as well as the right tools to perform the investigation and effect the repair. We have those skills and have many videos showing those repairs on our channel. Sometimes though it can be a faulty APU, this is the processor that does all the hardwork inside your console. If the APU dies then currently there is no way to fix the system, replacing the APU is not possible because Sony has tied the CPU ID to the motherboard making it only work in the original system that it was created for. If you have any of these issues then our Console repair shop in Southampton can help.

In Southampton, gamers occasionally encounter issues with the Xbox Series X seemingly shutting down without any apparent cause. This problem might stem from a malfunctioning power supply, a relatively straightforward concern. Alternatively, it could be linked to a faulty component on the motherboard. We’ve encountered cases where a small capacitor failure prevented the Xbox Series X from powering up. Addressing such issues demands a high level of skill, patience, and the appropriate tools for thorough investigation and repair. Our expertise in these areas is showcased through various repair videos on our channel.

Occasionally, the problem might be a faulty APU, the processor responsible for handling the console’s computational tasks. If the APU fails, unfortunately, there is currently no viable way to repair the system. The replacement of the APU is not feasible because Microsoft has linked the CPU ID to the motherboard, restricting it to function only in the original system it was designed for. If you’re experiencing any of these issues with your Xbox Series X, our console repair shop in Southampton is here to assist.
