An Honest Answer from a Repair Shop Owner Who’s Fixed Hundreds

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance your Xbox Series X isn’t showing any picture on your screen. Maybe you’ve wiggled the HDMI cord a dozen times, tried new cables, swapped TVs, and nothing works. We’ve seen it all—and trust me, you’re not alone.

I’m the owner of Gadget Medic Express here in Longview, TX and now in Henderson, TX. We’ve been fixing consoles like yours since the Xbox 360 days. So if you’re wondering how much it costs to fix the HDMI port on an Xbox Series X, let me break it down clearly—no runaround, no vague answers, just straight talk from someone who does this every day.

What Causes HDMI Port Damage on Xbox Series X?

Before we get to the pricing, it helps to understand why this issue happens so often.

The Xbox Series X has a high-speed HDMI 2.1 port designed to deliver that beautiful 4K, 120Hz gameplay. But that also means the pins inside are delicate. One wrong move—like yanking the cable, bumping the console while it’s plugged in, or using cheap cables—and you can damage the port.

Most people notice the problem when:

  • The screen goes black or flickers
  • The Xbox powers on but says “No Signal”
  • The HDMI cable feels loose or wobbly in the port
  • Pins inside the port look bent or broken

At Gadget Medic Express, HDMI port repair is one of the top console issues we handle every week, and the Xbox Series X is one of the most common models we see.

So… How Much Does It Cost to Fix an HDMI Port on Xbox Series X?

Here’s the short answer:

At Gadget Medic Express, HDMI port repair for the Xbox Series X costs $150 + tax.

That price includes:

  • Full disassembly and cleaning
  • Removal of the damaged port
  • Professional micro-soldering of a brand new HDMI port
  • Testing all video output functionality
  • A lifetime warranty on the repair

Now, let’s talk about what you’re actually paying for—and why we’re confident this is a repair worth doing.

Why It’s Worth Fixing Instead of Replacing Your Console

I get it. $150 isn’t pocket change. But replacing your Xbox Series X outright will cost $499+, assuming you can even find one in stock. And if you try to trade it in with a broken HDMI port, you’ll be lucky to get $50 for it—maybe less.

Here’s why our customers say repair is the better move:

✅ You keep your saved data

Replacing the console means losing your installed games, saved files, and any non-cloud-synced data. A repair saves your system as-is.

✅ It’s fast

We usually finish HDMI repairs within 1–2 business days. Compare that to waiting for a new console to ship—or shipping yours to a manufacturer and waiting weeks.

✅ It’s backed for life

Our HDMI port repairs come with a lifetime warranty, so if it fails again due to workmanship or part failure, we’ll make it right.

✅ It’s eco-friendly

You’re keeping e-waste out of landfills and saving a perfectly good console from being tossed over one small issue.

What Makes Our Xbox HDMI Repairs Different?

There’s a big difference between someone who can solder and someone who specializes in it.

We’ve been fixing HDMI ports since before the Series X even existed. Our technicians go through micro-soldering certification and work with state-of-the-art equipment—like microscopes, thermal rework stations, and digital inspection tools.

Some repair shops just replace the port without inspecting for deeper issues. But at Gadget Medic Express, we take it a step further:

  • We check for torn pads or broken traces (which can happen when ports are yanked out)
  • We test video signal output and power delivery
  • We inspect ESD damage or shorted components
  • We make sure your console passes real gameplay testing before it goes back out

You’re not just paying for a port—you’re paying for peace of mind that the real issue is fixed the right way, the first time.

Can I Fix My Xbox HDMI Port Myself?

Technically? Maybe.

Realistically? Probably not.

This isn’t a plug-and-play repair. The Xbox Series X motherboard is dense, the HDMI port is surface-mounted with multiple tiny pins, and it’s surrounded by components that can easily be damaged by heat or improper tools.

You’ll need:

  • A quality micro-soldering station ($300+)
  • Hot air rework station
  • Soldering microscope
  • Precise hand skills
  • And the nerve not to flinch when it starts getting smoky…

For most people, it’s cheaper, faster, and safer to bring it to a professional.

Common Questions We Get About Xbox HDMI Repairs

Q: Do you use original HDMI ports or third-party ones?

We use high-quality HDMI ports that meet or exceed OEM specs. Many “original” ports on eBay are just knockoffs with fancy packaging. We’ve tested dozens, and only use the ones that pass our reliability standards.

Q: What if my HDMI issue is something else, like a chip problem?

Good question. HDMI issues can sometimes stem from a failed retimer chip or damaged video circuitry. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know before doing any soldering. We don’t guess—we diagnose.

Q: What if I live outside Longview? Can I mail it in?

Yes! We accept mail-in repairs from all over Texas and even out of state. Just contact us and we’ll walk you through the simple process.

Q: Will this void my Microsoft warranty?

If your console is still under warranty, you might want to check with Microsoft first. But for out-of-warranty consoles, this is often the only way to get it working again.
