PLAYSTATION 5
📦 Safe postal shipping across Switzerland – Workshop located in Fribourg
The PlayStation 5 features a USB-C port and a USB-A port on the front, alongside two SuperSpeed USB-A ports on the rear.
If the console is pulled or falls while accessories are plugged in, the connector pins can bend or break off from the board.
At FixPlay, we desolder the damaged port and solder a new original reinforced port in place.

How does the repair work?
Drop-off or Ship
Bring your console to our Fribourg workshop or send it by secure post from anywhere in Switzerland.
Lab Diagnosis
Our technicians perform tests and inspect the board under professional stereomicroscopes.
Micro-Soldering
We replace the faulty component using micro-soldering and clean the surrounding circuits.
Quality Control
Complete testing (video signal, charge, thermals) before returning or shipping your console.
Short Circuit Warning
Shorting Risk
If broken power pins touch data lines, it can burn the southbridge controller chip or main CPU. Stop using damaged ports immediately.
Trace Repair
If pads are torn off, we reconstruct the lines under microscope using 0.1mm enameled jumper wires.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does the controller charge on wall adapter but not console?
The PS5 requires a data handshake to initiate charging. Wall chargers do not check this. If the data lines in the port are broken, the PS5 will block charging.
INSURED POST
Safe shipping both ways, including insurance protection.
48H TURNAROUND
Average repair time once received in the workshop.
