Before you email
Useful answers for this repair.
Still unsure? Send the details you have. A clear initial enquiry is enough to begin.
01Does a no-signal fault always mean the HDMI port is broken?
No. The cable, television settings, connector and internal electronics can produce similar symptoms, so the cause needs to be checked.
02Can you look at controllers as well as consoles?
Yes, controller enquiries are welcome. Please describe the affected buttons, stick behaviour, connection or charging problem.
03Should I keep using an overheating console?
It is better to stop and arrange an assessment. Repeated high-temperature shutdowns can place additional stress on components.
