Won't Charge
Loose charging port or cable has to be wiggled? We replace the port with a brand new one.
Dying Battery
Controller running out of battery too quickly? We swap in a fresh long-lasting battery.
Won't Connect
Controller disconnecting randomly or won't pair? We fix the wireless connection and sync button.
Stuck Buttons
Sticky face buttons, broken bumpers (L1/R1, LB/RB), or loose triggers repaired and cleaned.
Quick Checks You Can Try At Home
Before sending your console in, try these safe steps. Sometimes a simple cable swap, cache clear, or reset solves the issue immediately.
Power Cord Reset
Unplug the power cord from both the wall and your PlayStation for 10 minutes. This lets the console completely clear its temporary memory. Then plug it directly into a wall socket instead of a multi-plug adapter.
Safe Mode Database Rebuild
Turn off the console completely. Hold the power button down for 7 seconds until you hear a second beep. Connect your controller with a USB cable, press the PS button, and choose 'Rebuild Database'. This fixes freezing, menu lag, and corrupted game data without deleting your games.
Lay It Flat (Horizontal)
If your PS5 is shutting down after 30 to 45 minutes of heavy gaming, try placing it flat (horizontally). This helps the liquid metal cooling material spread evenly over the processor.
Still having trouble after trying these steps?
It may be an internal hardware fault (e.g. blown chip, torn port, or dry thermal compound). We can inspect it for you.
