If your PS5 has lost its picture and you've confirmed the HDMI port is the problem, the first question is: how much does it cost to fix, and where in Finland can it be done properly?
Here is a straightforward breakdown of the current repair market as of 2026 — what the repair involves, what the price range looks like, and how to read the fine print.
What PS5 HDMI repair costs in Finland
The range across the Finnish market in 2026 is roughly €99–149. The floor is €99 at Elektoni in Helsinki. We charge €140 at MopsiHuolto, which sits near the top of that range. The difference in price reflects a difference in what is included — which is worth understanding before choosing on price alone.
| What affects the price | Lower end | Higher end |
|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | 1–4 working days | Same day if booked before noon |
| Pickup/delivery | Drop-off only | Courier pickup included |
| Cleaning | Port swap only | Basic cleaning included |
| Warranty | Some shops: 12 months | 90 days (standard, legally required) |
| Part quality | Generic connector | Original-spec part |
What the price should include
A PS5 HDMI port replacement is not a plug-and-play job. The connector is surface-mounted to the motherboard, and to reach it the console has to come apart completely: outer shell, inner chassis, fan, power supply, and motherboard out of the chassis. The old port has to be desoldered without lifting the pads, the pads have to be cleaned, and the new port has to be soldered flat and centred so the HDMI 2.1 handshake works at 4K60 HDR.
- —Full PS5 disassembly and reassembly
- —Desoldering the old port without pad damage
- —Replacing with an original-spec HDMI 2.1 connector
- —Signal test at 4K60 HDR after reassembly
- —90-day warranty on the port and the solder joint
- —Free diagnostics — if the fault is deeper than the port, you're told before any work starts
At MopsiHuolto the €140 also includes a basic cleaning pass (compressed air through the intakes and exhaust) and — for customers inside the Helsinki metro area (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kerava) — Andrei picks up the console at your door and returns it when the work is done. No parking, no queuing.
Same-day repair: worth it?
If you book before noon Monday–Friday, the console is repaired and returned the same day. That's the offer we make and it holds unless the job turns up a surprise — a lifted pad or a cracked motherboard trace, which we'd call you about before proceeding.
Same-day matters if the console is your household's main entertainment screen, if you're mid-campaign and don't want to wait a week, or simply if you live alone and the console sitting in a shop for four days is genuinely inconvenient. It isn't magic — we can turn it around quickly because we carry the port on the bench, not because we rush the work.
Helsinki repair shops compared
As of May 2026, the main options in the Helsinki region for PS5 HDMI port repair:
| Shop | Price | Turnaround | Pickup |
|---|---|---|---|
| MopsiHuolto | €140 | Same day (book before noon) | Yes — metro area |
| Elektoni | €99 | 1–3 hours (walk-in) | No — drop-off only |
| PhoneFixers | n/a | 1–4 working days | No |
| Konsolinet (Kamppi) | n/a | Quote on request | No |
We are not the cheapest option. We are the only option that combines same-day turnaround with courier pickup. If you can drop the console off yourself and the €40 saving matters, Elektoni is a legitimate choice. If you can't get to a shop during working hours and need the console back the same day, that option doesn't exist anywhere else in the metro area as of this writing.
Is it worth repairing vs. buying new?
A new PS5 disc edition in Finland retails at around €499. The repair is €140. If the rest of the console is working, the answer is simple — repair is the economical choice by a factor of 3.5×.
When is it not worth repairing? If the PS5 already had other failures (APU-related shutdowns, a worn laser, a broken USB port) and the HDMI port is the latest in a series of faults, the repair might buy you six months before the next issue. That is still often worth doing — €140 for six months of a €500 console is reasonable — but we'll tell you honestly what the rest of the board looks like during the repair and whether any other faults are developing.
Before we start any work, we assess the port and the surrounding board area. If the pads are lifted or there's a trace issue, that changes the repair cost and we tell you before proceeding. Diagnostics are free regardless of whether you choose to repair.
FAQ
Can the repair be done at home?+
Technically yes, if you have a hot-air rework station, flux, ENIG-compatible solder, and experience with SMD work on mobile-density boards. Practically, most people who try it once either lift a pad or crack a trace, which turns a €140 job into a €250+ pad-bridging job. It's one of the repair types we'd recommend against as a first SMD attempt.
Does the repair void the warranty?+
The PS5's manufacturer warranty is two years from purchase in Finland under EU consumer law. Any console still in that window that was damaged by physical impact (cable yank, drop) would likely have the warranty voided already by Sony regardless of who repairs it. Once the manufacturer warranty has expired, repair by a third party doesn't affect your EU statutory rights on the repair work itself.
What if the repair doesn't fix the problem?+
If we replace the port and the problem persists, the next investigation is the HDMI encoder chip further up the board — a much rarer fault. We don't charge for the diagnostic if the first repair didn't solve the original symptom. We quote separately for any additional work.
