Most Common PS5 Repairs We Perform in Macon
- PS5 HDMI port repair: Console powers on but TV shows "No Signal" — almost always a damaged HDMI port. We micro-solder a new connector onto the PS5 motherboard.
- PS5 disc drive repair: Console won't read discs, makes grinding noises, or ejects immediately. We repair or replace the Blu-ray drive.
- PS5 overheating fix: Console shuts down randomly after 20–30 minutes of gameplay. We replace the thermal paste and clean the cooling system.
- DualSense controller stick drift: Character moves or camera spins without input. We replace the worn analog stick potentiometer module.
- PS5 won't turn on: We diagnose power supply, fuse, and motherboard failures.

PS5 HDMI Port Repair – What's Involved?
The PS5 HDMI port is surface-mounted directly to the PS5 motherboard — it cannot simply be plugged in or swapped without micro-soldering equipment. Our technicians use professional-grade soldering stations to carefully desolder the damaged HDMI connector, inspect the surrounding solder pads for lifted traces, and install a brand-new OEM-spec HDMI port. We test at 1080p and 4K before returning your PS5. This repair saves most customers $400+ compared to buying a replacement.
PS5 Overheating – Why It Happens and How We Fix It
The PS5's AMD custom APU runs hot by design. Over time, the factory thermal paste between the APU and heatsink dries out — dramatically reducing heat transfer and causing the PS5 to throttle performance and eventually shut down. We fully disassemble the PS5, clean the heatsink and fan assembly, remove the dried thermal paste, apply premium thermal compound, and test under full load. After this service, most PS5s run significantly quieter and cooler.
DualSense Stick Drift – Permanent Fix at Tech Medics
PS5 DualSense stick drift is widespread — Sony has even faced class action lawsuits over it. The root cause is wear on the Alps-style analog stick potentiometer inside the controller. We replace the entire potentiometer module (not just clean around it), restoring precise analog input. This repair is typically completed same-day.
