PS5, Xbox & Console Repair in Bicester
PS5 and Xbox HDMI ports, overheating, loud fans, shutdowns and motherboard faults, fixed at our office in Bicester by technicians who microsolder under the microscope. HDMI port replacement for PS5 or Xbox: £120, usually the same day.
Why people bring their consoles to us
- Real microsoldering. HDMI ports and board-level faults on PS5 and Xbox are repaired under a professional microscope, not swapped and hoped for the best.
- Every console we open gets a deep clean, and every PS5 also gets a liquid metal service. Both are included in our £120 HDMI price, because 49 of the last 50 PS5s on our bench needed it.
- Usually same day. Your console isn’t sent away to another technician or left in a queue for days.
- Around 20 years of experience running Apple service centres in two cities of more than a million people, now in Bicester.
- Over 100 Google reviews, nearly all five-star, and a 3-month warranty on every repair.
PS5 and Xbox problems we fix
HDMI port replacement, PS5 and Xbox: £120
No picture, flickering, or a loose HDMI port. On both PS5 and Xbox the port is soldered straight onto the motherboard. We replace it under the microscope and test it before handover.
Every HDMI repair includes a deep clean of the cooling system. PS5s also get a liquid metal service; Xbox consoles don’t use liquid metal. Why we include the clean.
A PS5 HDMI port with a broken pin. On PS5 and Xbox the port is soldered to the motherboard, so it has to be replaced, not straightened.
Xbox HDMI port replacement: £120
Bent and broken pins on the old port; a new port soldered under the microscope, with a deep clean of the cooling system. Drag the slider to compare.

Overheating, a loud fan or sudden shutdowns, PS5 and Xbox
On both consoles, dust packed into the heatsink is the most common cause. On a PS5, liquid metal moving away from the main chip adds to it. Neither can be fixed from outside: the console has to be fully stripped down.
Our deep clean brings the cooling back to an as-new state, and on a PS5 we restore the liquid metal to cover 100% of the chip.
A PS5 heatsink completely blocked with dust. No air can pass through it.
Motherboard faults, PS5 and Xbox
No power, switching off straight away, or dead after a power surge or a spill. We find the failed component on the motherboard and repair it with microsoldering, for PS5 and Xbox alike.
Not sure what’s wrong? We’ll run a diagnostic and tell you everything relevant: what the fault is and every way to fix it. The diagnostic is £50, and it’s free if you go ahead with the repair. A short video or photo of the fault helps.
Repairs that went wrong somewhere else
We regularly open consoles that have already been to another shop: spilled liquid metal, broken connectors, scratched chips, wrong screws and poor soldering. We find the damage, explain it honestly and put it right.
Liquid metal spilled across a motherboard after a repair elsewhere. Each drop can short-circuit the board.
Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch and other consoles
We repair other consoles too, including Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch and older PlayStation and Xbox models. If it’s a games console, ask us. We’ll run a diagnostic and tell you everything relevant; it’s £50, and free if you go ahead with the repair.

Questions people ask
£120 for either console. That includes the full teardown, microsoldering of the new port and a deep clean of the cooling system. PS5 repairs also include a liquid metal service.
Most PS5 and Xbox HDMI repairs are done the same day. Other faults depend on what we find; we always tell you the timing before we start.
Yes. We repair Xbox, PlayStation, Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch and other consoles. Xbox HDMI port replacement is £120. For other faults, send us the model and symptoms for a quote.
£50, and it is free if you go ahead with the repair.
Usually a deep clean of the cooling system, plus a liquid metal service on a PS5. Dust blocks the heatsink, and on a PS5 liquid metal moves away from the chip over time, so the console overheats and shuts down.
Every repair has a 3-month warranty, and we can extend it to 1 year for an extra cost.
Monday to Friday 8:30am to 9pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 9pm. Later appointments are available by arrangement.
