£89 HDMI Port Replacement
The HDMI port is a weak point and can get damaged very easily. Even a small chip or crack can stop it from displaying. We replace the port with a genuine replacement, not a cheap imitation. Our technicians can also fix any ripped tracks, which can occur if the cable is ripped out by force - if you trip on it, for example.Therefore, regardless of how serious the port damage is, we can still get your console back up and running.As part of the service, we will also inspect the liquid metal cooling compound and replace it if needed, and clean out all dust - to fix overheating problems before they even begin. (As our service below).
£79 Overheating & Crashing
Such symptoms are a result of a design flaw in the Playstation 5 which can eventually happen to every console, regardless of age or version. It is not caused by dust, contrary to popular belief, but due to the liquid metal dripping down due to gravity. This causes the processor to no longer make contact with the heatsink, and overheat. At times, it can hit dangerous temperatures, and even cause irreversible damage to the processor (the brain of the console). When these symptoms start, you must stop using your console and seek repair.- Full teardown and internal clean from all dust
- Existing liquid metal removed (image 1 & 2)
- APU (processor) and heatsink polished to remove oxidation (image 3)
- Liquid metal reapplied
- PS5 reassembled, and tested under gaming conditions

Our fixed fee includes:
All our repairs fall within fixed pricing bands, which also include:
- VAT
- 1 Year Guarantee
- Diagnostics, Assessment & Repair
All our repairs fall under a fixed labour fee, so you know exactly what you are paying before you even walk into our store or contact us.
You can self-quote by finding your issue, under one of our four pricing bands adjacent – or contact our team with a description of your fault, for advice, guidance and a quote.
We repair all consoles in house – we do not outsource. Numerous shops send their customers devices to us for repair, so you can be sure you device is in good hands.
Please note:
- No upfront payment required – payment can be made on collection, via credit/debit card, bank transfer or cash, or online via Stripe, if you prefer.
- If the repair is cancelled or the device is beyond repair, we charge half the labour cost as a diagnostic fee.
- Our warranty does not cover failure of ports caused by pressure exerted on them.
This includes any physical damage or malfunction resulting from improper use, excessive force, or external pressure applied to the ports, which can lead to issues beyond the scope of normal wear and tear.
HDMI and USB C ports are very sensitive and are easily damaged – you must be extremely careful when plugging in/out cables.
Our Repair Process
1 – Bring in your device, anytime
You will be quoted exactly the same as on our website – a fixed labour fee. There is no need for us to see your device to quote you, we just need a simple description of the fault.
2 – Receive a call/email update
We will assess your device, and call/email you with an update – or to say your device is repaired. Depending on complexity and if parts are required, this can be 1-5 working days.
3 – Collect your repaired device
Once any parts have been authorised and your device is repaired, you can collect your console. We accept card, cash or bank transfer – you can even pay online before collection.
Under the microscope... see what we see!
Alongside are some photos of our latest jobs - all of which were successfully repaired.
Possessing tools like a microscope and thermal camera allow us to conduct repairs to a standard that many shops are not able to, and in the case of Apple Macs - allows us to repair your existing logic board, saving you hundreds of pounds as well as your precious data.
This PS5 was brought in as there was no display on the TV. Come to find out that it was liquid damaged, and a component in the power supply had blown up!
Fortunately, we offer motherboard repair and can even repair power supplies, so this one will be back to the customer in full working order in no time

This PS5 came in for no power. We injected voltage onto the main power line, and then using our thermal camera, found a capacitor glowing - indicating a short circuit. If a shop does not have such specialist tools, they may very well tell you your console is unrepairable - when it really isn`t! #ps5 #boardrepair

Overheating in the PS5 is a common issue caused by a design flaw where the liquid metal used for cooling can shift due to gravity. To properly resolve this, we don’t just replace the liquid metal—we also polish the APU with a specialised compound, ensuring a clean surface for optimal heat transfer before applying the new liquid metal. #ps5 #liquidmetal

This gaming MSI laptop came in with display issues. Unfortunately, MSI are quite poorly built and in this case it was a graphics card failure that was causing the problem. Although the GPU cannot be replaced, we managed to remove the drivers and prevent them from being installed again allowing the customer to use their laptop as normal.

This Mac wasn`t booting to macOS. The WiFi/Bluetooth chipset had failed. Rather than replace the entire chip, we carefully removed the top of the chip by drilling away at the material. (See picture 2 with the image transposed)
We managed to see inside the chip and find the exact capacitor that failed - measuring under 1mm! Again, we used a ultra fine drill to remove it, removing the short.
To our knowledge this process has never been attempted before by any other store.
Better tools, better technicians, better repairs, at bits.

This is the second time we have now had a customer bring in an iMac repaired by the same competitor - they used hot glue instead of the proper adhesive around the display, and they used an off-brand SSD that failed in less than a year. All the vents are also clogged with dust and weren`t cleaned.
It is unacceptable to fit such low-quality parts for customers who could then lose their data as a result, and use hot glue on such a precisely designed machine.

This Mac was brought in for liquid damage repair. First things first, lets blow out the decades worth of dust clogging up those fans, and replace the thermal paste.

We repaired a PS5 Slim today for a replacement HDMI port. The connector was really badly damaged - nevertheless, we managed to replace it and get this console back up and running. #ps5 #ps5slim

Our laminar flow hood filters the surrounding air to such a degree that it can be used for forensic DNA analysis! This allows us to refurbish MacBook screens to the highest standard, without letting in dust from ambient surroundings. #macbookrepair

Another shop fixed this iMac before and used hot glue/silicone to reattach the screen, not genuine Apple adhesive strips!
When picking a shop to repair your Apple product, make sure they specialise in Apple repairs so they don’t do a bodge job like this! The official adhesive is specially designed and cut, so that it holds the display securely, whilst allowing the iMac to be opened again for service.

Another MacBook Air M2 screen is successfully repaired. This one suffered from liquid damage, so we replaced the backlight sheets and LCD, and it now looks as good as new. #MacBookRepair #RightToRepair #MacScreenRepair #Bournemouth

This USB C port was completely ripped off when the laptop was dropped while charging. The customer thought it was a write-off and time to get another one. After rebuilding the tracks on the motherboard, and soldering on a new port, its as good as new and lives to see another day. #soldering #righttorepair

This PS5 came in due to randomly turning off. Like many we have seen, in some cases, standing up the console causes the liquid metal to drip down over time, and cause air gaps between the processor and heatsink. Another easy fix for the bits team. #repair #bournemouth

This Mac was liquid damage and used for a year after, causing severe corrosion and liquid damage. After a specialist ultrasonic clean, it looks like new.
Now, it is under the microscope for a component-level repair. #righttorepair #waterdamage #MacBookRepair

This PS5 came in for a flickering screen. On this occasion, the HDMI port was OK, but the motherboard was damaged, and the tracks to the port were all ripped off.
Thanks to our #Amscope #microscope we are able to repair these fine tracks that are under 1mm in width each!
