Which PlayStation models and modifications do we repair?

Our technicians know the architecture of all Sony PlayStation generations perfectly. We provide service for:

• PlayStation 5 series: We repair both standard models with a disc drive (CFI-1000, CFI-1100, CFI-1200 series) and “Digital Edition”, as well as updated PS5 Slim (CFI-2000) models.

• PlayStation 4 series: We accept all models, including the first-generation PS4 “Fat” (CUH-1000/1100/1200), PS4 Slim (CUH-2000 series), and the most powerful PS4 Pro (CUH-7000 series).

Our main PlayStation repair services

1. Cooling system preventative maintenance (Liquid metal and thermal paste replacement)

The long service life of Sony consoles directly depends on cooling efficiency. Overheating (when the console turns off while showing a warning) is the most common cause of processor (APU) failure. Every 1–2 years, we recommend a full preventative maintenance:

• PS5 cooling system update: Unlike older consoles, for cooling the PS5 APU, PS5 uses liquid metal (Liquid Metal). Once it dries out or leaks, heat transfer is reduced. We safely remove the old layer, replace it with new liquid metal following factory specifications, update the memory module thermal pads, and use ultrasonics to clean the powerful dual fan and radiator array.

• PS4 cooling preventative maintenance: We replace dried thermal paste with high-quality, high-heat-transfer paste (e.g., copper- or ceramic-based). We fully disassemble the console, remove accumulated dust from the heatsink fins and radiator grille, ensuring quieter operation.

2. HDMI port replacement and video chip (IC) repair

No image on the TV screen, even though the console is on with a white light (WLOD)? Most often, this is a mechanical damage. We do:

• Reflowing a loose, broken, or deformed HDMI port on the mainboard, restoring broken contact tracks.

• Replacing the HDMI signal microchip (Encoder IC). If the port is intact but there’s no image, often the video transmission microchip is burnt out (e.g., Panasonic MN864729 in PS4 consoles or the corresponding PS5 equivalent). We diagnose it and replace it professionally.

3. DualSense and DualShock 4 controller repair

Intensive gaming quickly wears out controller components. We repair PS5 DualSense and PS4 DualShock 4 controllers:

• Stick Drift removal: We replace worn ALPS 3D analog potentiometers with new ones, restoring ideal controller centering and sensitivity.

• Battery replacement: PS5 DualSense uses 1560 mAh (3.7 V), and PS4 uses about 800–1000 mAh batteries. After 300–500 cycles, they degrade. We replace swollen or capacity-lost batteries with new ones with original specifications.

• Repairing connectors and buttons: We solder damaged USB-C (PS5) and Micro-USB (PS4) charging ports, replace worn button rubber membranes, and address Touchpad malfunctions.

4. Upgrading and expanding internal storage (SSD / HDD)

Running out of space for the latest games or is the console running critically slow?

• PS5 storage expansion: We install additional M.2 NVMe SSD drives (from 1 TB up to 4 TB). We use only PCIe Gen4 drives that meet Sony requirements (read speed ≥5 500 MB/s) with integrated heatsinks for maximum performance.

• PS4 acceleration: We replace slow and failing mechanical 2.5″ HDD drives (500GB/1TB) with much faster and more reliable SATA III SSD drives. We also apply vibration dampeners.

5. Rewriting and updating PlayStation OS software

If the console “gets stuck” in recovery/safe mode (“Safe Mode”), constantly reboots (Bootloop), or shows software error codes during an update:

• We perform deep operating system diagnostics;

• We rewrite the system OS software package using official and latest Sony “Firmware” files via a USB drive;

• We restore the damaged database and check the condition of the hard drive (S.M.A.R.T.).

6. Complex mainboard repair and moisture damage removal

Was the device flooded with liquids or did it experience a surge of electrical voltage?

• We use ultrasonic cleaning baths and special solvents to clean oxidized board traces.

• We perform micro-soldering of SMD components (capacitors, resistors, diodes) and BGA microchips.

• We restore the operation of the Power Supply after a short circuit.
