"What is up with the HDMI port solder being SO STUBBORN?"
— r/consolerepair

PS HDMI ports use lead-free industrial solder — it needs considerably more heat than a home iron delivers, and the clearances leave no margin for error. Without professional rework equipment, you risk pulling pads off the board entirely. And that's before considering whether the fault is the port itself or the HDMI IC behind it — both cause identical no-signal symptoms but need very different repairs.

If you're hitting the same issue, send us the symptoms on WhatsApp and we'll give you a free written quote before you commit to anything.

We were asked about right to repair in this article, we really need the right to repair your gaming consoles, it would bring down prices even more, and we would be able to fix more, and much quicker.

South Africa moved to fix the car industry's right-to-repair gap in 2021; nothing similar for electronics has followed.

"I was truly impressed. The whole process was communicated with me as from pick up, during repair, return transit and then until it arrived at my door. The PS5 was returned fixed and clean. Would recommend Console Service Centre to anyone who asks. Best service centre. 5🌟"
