Do you really buy a PS5 or Xbox with a broken HDMI port?

Yes. We buy PS5 disc, PS5 digital, PS5 Slim, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series S and Xbox One X consoles with a broken port or no display, as-is. No repair needed.

Is it better to fix the port first?

For most people, no. A paid repair means waiting and cost with no guarantee, and you can sell as-is instead.

Will ecoATM or GameStop take it?

ecoATM kiosks are generally built around phones. GameStop's trade program generally expects a console that works. Check each one's current terms.

Do I need the controller, cables or box?

No. Bring what you have. A missing controller or cable does not rule it out.

My console has no picture at all. Is it the HDMI port?

It might be. Tell us exactly what you see (black screen, flicker, "no signal"), and we will tell you what we can do. You do not need to diagnose it first.

Do I need an appointment, and when do I get paid?

Yes, appointment only, one seller at a time, and no walk-in counter. If we can use the console, you are paid in cash the same day, before you leave.

Consoles we buy with a broken HDMI port

PS5 disc edition PS5 digital edition PS5 Slim PS5 Pro Xbox Series S Xbox One X A bent or torn port, a port that no longer picks up a signal, a black screen, or "no HDMI signal" all count. Tell us what happened.

PS5 disc, digital and Slim

We buy PS5 disc and digital editions and the PS5 Slim with a broken HDMI port or no display. Tell us which edition you have and whether any controllers or cables come with it.

PS5 Pro

We buy the PS5 Pro as-is with a broken port. A separate disc drive, stand or original box is not required; describe what comes with your console when you contact us.

Xbox Series S and Xbox One X

We buy Xbox Series S and Xbox One X consoles with a broken HDMI port or no display. Mention the model and symptoms, such as a black screen, flickering or a no-signal message.

Why sell it as-is instead of fixing it

An HDMI port repair on a PS5 or Xbox means a paid repair: shipping or dropping it off, waiting, and no guarantee it comes back working. If you are not planning to keep the console, paying for the repair just to sell it rarely makes sense. Selling as-is gets you cash now and skips the repair.

Why other places usually will not take it

Kiosks such as ecoATM are built around phones and generally do not take consoles at all. GameStop's trade program generally expects a console that works, so a broken port is typically a problem there. Check with your store, because terms change. Selling online as "for parts" works but means photos, a listing, shipping a heavy box and a wait. A pawn shop may look at it, and a loan against a broken console is a different deal from a sale.

Before you sell: what to bring

The console. That is the only required piece. A controller and power cable if you have them. Both are optional, and a missing one does not change whether it is worth asking. Before you come, sign out of your PlayStation Network or Xbox account, deauthorize the console from your account on the web if you can, and take any discs out. A photo of the port, or a short description of the symptom, when you text us. It helps us confirm a time.

How the meetup works

Text or call 518-501-0602 with the model and the problem. We set a time. We meet one seller at a time by appointment at 6 Northway Ln, Latham, or come to you around the Capital Region. We give you a firm number in person. If you accept, you get cash before you leave. If you decline, you keep the console.

Selling a PS5 Pro

We buy PS5 Pro consoles working or with a broken HDMI port. The Pro sells without a disc drive, and a missing stand or cable is still worth asking about. Tell us what you have. A Pro with a broken port can be sold as-is, just like the other consoles listed here.
