PS5 geht nicht mehr an: Lohnt sich die Reparatur?
Vom OG Repairs Werkstattteam, LondonPublished 3 Min. gelesen
Lohnt sich die Reparatur einer PS5, die nicht mehr angeht?
Meistens ja. Bei den meisten PS5, die nicht mehr angehen, ist das interne Netzteil defekt oder es gibt einen Kurzschluss auf der Platine, und beides lässt sich reparieren. Bei OG Repairs kostet die Reparatur einer PS5 ohne Strom £149.99, Diagnose inklusive, wenn du sie machen lässt, mit 12 Monaten Garantie. Lohnt es sich nicht, sagen wir es dir vorher.
Wichtige Fakten
- PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S all have the power supply built in, so a dead console is usually the supply or the board.
- We test the supply on its own first, then the board, so a good part isn't replaced by mistake.
- PS5 £149.99, PS5 Pro £149.99. A PS5 Slim that won't power on is repaired by quote.
- No-power repairs usually take 3-5 working days with our specialist board technician.
- Your games and saves normally come back as they were: the repair doesn't involve the storage.
Try this before you book
- Unplug the power lead at both ends for a minute, then plug it straight into a wall socket. No extension lead or surge strip.
- Try a different power lead. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S use the same two-pin figure-of-eight lead as plenty of TVs and speakers.
- Unplug everything else: USB drives, headsets, controllers on charge.
- Still dead? Leave it unplugged and stop trying it. Repeated attempts on a shorted board don't help.
What it does when you press the button
- No lights, no sound, nothing: often the power supply, sometimes a short on the board stopping the supply from starting.
- One beep, then nothing: the PS5 has seen the button press but can't start, which points at a power fault.
- Turns on, then straight off: protection kicking in, from a supply that can't hold up or a short on the board.
- Dead after a power cut or surge: the surge can take out the supply, or get past it to the board.
- Light on, fan spinning, but no picture: that isn't a power fault. It's usually HDMI.
- Switches itself off mid-game but starts again: that's often heat, not power.
Power supply or board?
From the outside you can't tell. A failed supply usually means no lights, no fan and no beep, often after a surge or with age, and it's fixed with a replacement supply. A short on the board pulls the supply down and needs board-level repair. We test the supply on its own first, so a good part isn't replaced by mistake.
When it's worth it, and when to think twice
| Situation | What we'd tell you |
|---|---|
| Dead after a power cut or surge | Usually the supply, sometimes the board. Worth diagnosing. |
| Beeps once, then nothing | A power fault, and exactly what this repair covers. |
| Liquid spilled into it | Tell us when you book. Liquid can damage more than the power circuit, so we diagnose and give you the price first. |
| Opened or repaired somewhere else before | Tell us when you book. We diagnose it the same way and tell you what we find before any work. |
| You'd rather not repair it | We can buy it from you as it is through Sell Your Tech. |
How long does a PS5 no-power repair take?
Usually 3-5 working days once it's with us. No-power repairs go to our specialist board technician, and tracing a board fault takes longer than swapping a supply. Depending on the fault, same day may be possible with our priority service for a fee, so ask the team. We keep you updated throughout.
