Top 5 Console Issues We Fix in Barrie (And How to Avoid Them)
Barrie gamers, let’s be honest: consoles weren’t built for this much drama. Between HDMI ports…
You know that sound your PS5 makes right before it dies?
Kind of like a jet engine trying to lift off… then choking on its own ambition?
Yeah. We fix that.
Also: no signal. Random shutdowns. Overheating tantrums. HDMI ports that got yeeted by your toddler or your roommate’s “gentle” unplugging. (He’s not gentle. He’s a tech serial killer.)
Welcome to OneUpFix.com, where Barrie’s broken consoles come to be redeemed, reborn, and returned to gaming glory. Because nothing should come between you and a 6-hour Elden Ring session. Not even a fried motherboard.
Let’s be honest: Sony made a beast of a console, but it’s also… temperamental.
• PS5 HDMI ports? Fragile as your ex’s ego.
• Fan issues? Like a hairdryer in heat.
• Thermal paste problems? Hope you like eggs, because your console’s cooking.
You could send it off to Sony, wait 6 weeks, pay $299+, and pray they don’t ghost you.
Or…
You could walk into our Barrie repair lair and have your PS5 back before your Uber Eats order gets cold. (Okay not that fast, but we’re talking real turnaround here — usually 2–7 business days depending on the damage.)
We’ve seen it all. No judgment. Even the sticky soda spill ones. (Pro tip: don’t store your Coke Zero on top of your console. It’s not a coaster. It’s a $700 ecosystem.)
Here’s what we fix the most:
Black screen of death? TV says “no input”?
Nine times out of ten, your HDMI port is toast. Not just bent — ripped off the board like a Band-Aid in a panic.
We microsolder in a brand-new port — as good as the original — and test it until it runs smoother than a PS5 restock at Costco (so… basically mythical levels of smooth).

Your PS5 shouldn’t sound like a Dyson. If it does, the fan’s likely clogged with dust thicker than your grandma’s shag carpet.
Sometimes the fan’s just dead. Other times, it’s the thermal paste screaming for retirement.
Either way, we clean, repaste, and give your PS5 the spa day it deserves. Yes, we even dust in the crevices. We’re not monsters.
👉 Book an internal cleaning + fan service
You press the power button. Nothing happens.
You unplug and replug 4 times. Still nothing.
Now you’re Googling “is PS5 repair worth it or should I sell it for parts and cry?”
Good news: we may be able to fix it.
Common culprits:
We diagnose it with our fancy tools, fix it fast, and bring it back to life like a caffeinated necromancer.
