PlayStation 4, Slim and Pro repair
2013–2021 · Mail-in from anywhere in the United States, or drop it off at an event.
PS4s have been in living rooms long enough to collect a decade of dust, and it shows: the jet-engine fan noise people joke about is almost always a heatsink packed solid. Underneath that, the same HDMI port damage that plagues the PS5 is just as common here.
The blue light of death — a pulsing blue indicator that never turns white — is a power or board fault rather than a software problem, and it needs diagnosis rather than guesswork.

A PS4 that ejects discs by itself usually has a dirty or stuck eject sensor rather than a failed drive — cheaper than people expect.
If your console is still working but has never been cleaned, a $75 deep clean is the highest-value thing you can do for it.
PlayStation 4 questions people ask
What causes the PS4 blue light of death?
A pulsing blue light that never turns white means the console isn't completing its power-up handshake. The cause is usually the power supply or a board fault, occasionally a failed hard drive. It needs diagnosis; no-power repairs are $149.
How much does PS4 HDMI repair cost?
HDMI port replacement on a PS4 or PS4 Pro is $99. It's a board-level job — the port is soldered on — and the console is tested on real hardware before it ships back.
Why is my PS4 so loud?
Years of dust in the heatsink plus dried thermal paste. The fan spins hard because the console can't shed heat any other way. A $75 deep clean and repaste usually takes it back to near silent.
