Sometimes, when people think of gaming console repairs, they often think of hardware or software corrections. Maybe even fixes that affect connective problems. Rarely do they think about cables or the parts those cables plug into. Why? Because it’s a cable, if there’s a problem with a cable, you just replace it, right? True. If it’s a problem, after all. And the manufacturer will usually recommend you check the cable first as part of any troubleshooting you’ll do. But it can’t be the cable, right? That’s just too simple. Simple doesn’t mean it’s not a complex fix.
That’s a fancy way of saying: you might not think it’s a problem with a cable or the cable port, but it is, sometimes. And if it’s the HDMI port, you should probably bring your console to 911 Phone Repair in Oklahoma City. Here, we’ll do a free, full diagnostic of your console, identify the problem with its HDMI (if there is one), and make the console HDMI repairs you need fast and professionally.
HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. It’s basically a technical way of saying it allows for transmitting high-quality video and audio between media devices via a cable. It’s what makes all that HD data displays it as an HD picture and transmits it as digital audio.
So, if your console has an HDMI problem, it could be the cable, locations, or ports at the ends of the HDMI cable that plug into the console, television, or monitor.

Like the Xbox Series X/S, the HDMI port is a common concern on the PS4 and PS5 game consoles. As integral as these ports are to proper console operation, they are susceptible to sustaining damage.
Outside of obvious physical damage, such as a crooked port or bent and missing pins inside the port itself, there are additional signs of a malfunctioning HDMI port. These include the White Light of Death: despite the console powering up and the white light turning on, no picture appears on the TV.
A full replacement is the only permanent fix for a bad HDMI port. Thankfully, the extensive inventory of replacement parts that 911 Phone Repair in Oklahoma City features ensures your system will be up and running with minimal delay.
If you’re not dealing with a broken screen for a portable gaming console and your monitor or TV is working fine with other devices, then it’s time to look at your cables and see if they’re the source of your display problems.
The main cable you’re going to inspect is the HDMI cable that runs from your console directly to your TV or monitor (this assumes the console you’re using isn’t older and using something other than an HDMI).
HDMI cable problems come with a variety of symptoms that include:
If you’re experiencing any of these, you may have a cable issue. The main thing you’re looking for is signs of damage. This can include splits, abrasion, or even signs of chewing. Other areas to inspect for damage include the pins in the connectors themselves. These can easily bend or break through heavy use. If there is damage, remove the cable and try a different HDMI cable you know works with another device. If the display problem is corrected, you know it was the cable.
Even if there aren’t signs of damage, trying a different cable you know is functional never hurts. This helps ensure the cable isn’t the problem and something else is.
After eliminating the cable, the next likely place to check is the HDMI port on the console. The symptoms of port issues will be similar to issues with a bad cable. The only real difference is you’ve established that the cable is okay, which leads to the ports as the next potential problem spot.
The port could be loose or damaged. It could be repairable or simply needs to be replaced. Either way, you should bring it to our store in Oklahoma City for a free diagnosis.
