Let’s be honest—your PlayStation didn’t suddenly give up on life. It didn’t wake up one day and decide it was too cool for Call of Duty or Elden Ring. Nine times out of ten, the problem is the HDMI port—and it fails more often than your buddy who thinks “running and gunning” is a tactical plan.

Here’s how you know it’s the port:

Your TV flashes “No Signal” like a broken record.

The screen stays darker than a loading screen that froze.

The HDMI cable wiggles around like it’s got commitment issues.

You’ve tried every “wiggle trick” in the book and still nothing.

Why does it break? Because life happens—kids yank on cords, pets think wires are chew toys, or maybe you’ve just swapped cables more times than you’ve swapped discs. Either way, the tiny pins inside don’t stand a chance forever.

But here’s the good news: your PlayStation isn’t dead. It just needs a new HDMI port. At OneUpFix, we swap out the busted one with a clean, factory-fresh port and solder it down so solid, you’ll forget you ever had to angle the cable “just right” to make it work. One repair, and your console’s back on-screen, ready to flex those pixels again.

Let’s clear this up right now: we don’t slap a little glue in the port and call it “fixed.” At OneUpFix, we actually remove the wrecked HDMI port and swap it with a factory-quality replacement that’s built to last. Think of it like upgrading from duct tape to titanium—it’s stronger, cleaner, and won’t betray you in the middle of your Friday night gaming marathon.

Every repair goes through precision soldering (using pro-level gear, not the kind of kit you find in a craft store), clean, permanent connections (no loose joints, no sketchy shortcuts), and real-world testing on actual TVs before we hand it back. If the picture doesn’t come through crystal clear, we’re not done. It’s that simple.

But we don’t stop there. We check alignment, make sure the port locks your HDMI cable snugly, and stress test it with multiple plug-ins and plug-outs—because let’s face it, nobody treats their console gently 100% of the time. We’re gamers too; we know how it goes when you’re swapping cables at 2 a.m. with chips on your lap.

When we hand your console back, it feels like new. No more wiggling the cable like you’re casting spells, no more “screen disappeared mid-boss fight” panic—just smooth, stable video output exactly how Sony designed it. And yes, we’ll admit it—sometimes our customers say their repaired console feels better than when they first unboxed it.

We get it: waiting on a repair feels like a slow-motion cutscene you can’t skip. That’s why we keep our HDMI port repairs fast. Most jobs are done in about 1–3 business days, because every extra day without your PlayStation feels like an eternity (and no, watching gameplay on YouTube is not the same).

Our shop is proudly based in Barrie, but we serve gamers across Simcoe County and Muskoka. Whether you’re rolling in from Orillia, Innisfil, Wasaga, or Bracebridge, we make the drive worth it. If your console’s the heart of your living room setup, we’re basically the cardiologist that gets it beating again.

And here’s the part that matters: we back every HDMI port replacement with a 90-day warranty. That means if anything goes sideways (rare, but hey—life happens), you bring it back and we’ll make it right. No hidden fees, no “fine print” nonsense. Just real fixes, guaranteed.

You’re also not handing your console to someone who’s never touched a controller. We’re gamers ourselves—we know what it feels like when your console goes dark mid-match. That’s why we treat every PlayStation like our own: careful repairs, honest pricing, and no condescending “have you tried turning it off and on again?” speeches.

So go ahead—book your HDMI repair. Drop off your console, and let us bring it back to life. When it comes back, you’ll be ready to dive into your backlog, finish that boss fight, or finally stream that game in glorious HD again—without touching the HDMI cable like it’s some fragile relic.

Don’t wait—your next game night is counting on it.
