A console that shows no picture, or one that only works when the cable is held at an angle, almost always has a damaged HDMI port, not a dead console. The port is soldered straight to the mainboard. Most shops send this job out.

Book a Board DiagnosticWe confirm the port is the fault and the board is sound, then quote before any desoldering starts.
Start FreeFour of the five symptoms below come from the port. The fifth comes from the board.
The console powers on, the fan spins, the light comes on, and the television reports no signal. Changing cables and inputs first is worth doing, and when nothing changes the port is the usual cause.
Lifting or twisting the cable bringing the image back means the internal pins have lost contact with the board. Keep using it and the flexing tears the pads underneath.
Intermittent signal, static across the picture, or an image that cuts out mid-game comes from bent or bridged pins inside the socket.
A cable forced in at an angle, or a console knocked over while plugged in, bends the pins or cracks the plastic tongue. Shine a light in before assuming the console is finished.
A console that will not power on, one that shuts down immediately, or one with picture but no sound is a different fault. The free diagnostic tells us which before you commit.
A torn HDMI port gets a new one soldered on, and the console keeps its drive and its games.
Price My PortThis is component-level work, so the equipment and the hand doing it decide the result.
The port goes under the microscope and the board gets tested before anything is removed. A damaged port and a damaged output circuit look identical from outside and cost very different amounts.
Controlled hot air at the temperature the board tolerates lifts the port. Too much heat lifts neighboring components and warps the board, which is the damage we see on consoles that went somewhere else first.
The pads underneath are cleaned and inspected. Where a torn port or an earlier repair lifted a pad, we rebuild it. Soldering onto a lifted pad gives a connection that fails again within months.
A premium replacement is aligned, soldered, and then reinforced so the socket takes the strain of the cable instead of the solder joints taking it.
Picture at full resolution, the cable flexed deliberately to confirm the joint holds, and the console run under load.

Every plug and unplug on a partly detached port risks tearing pads, which turns a port swap into pad reconstruction
Consoles with no picture leave here working, and the port is soldered in house.
Fix My HDMI PortHDMI port replacement is $125. General diagnostics are free, and board diagnostics run $50 to $150 where the fault needs tracing past the port itself.
A console that powers on with no picture, or one that only displays when the cable is held at an angle, almost always has a damaged HDMI port, and the console itself is usually fine.
No. The port is soldered directly to the mainboard and we replace it here under a microscope instead of shipping it out.
Board-level diagnostics run 3 to 7 business days, and the port replacement is completed within that window.
