If your PS5 HDMI port is not working, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue:
: Check for any visible damage or debris in the port. Clean it if necessary14.
: Try using a different HDMI cable to rule out any issues with the current one12.
: Turn off your PS5, unplug it, wait a few minutes, and then plug it back in and turn it on1.
: Ensure your TV or monitor is set to the correct HDMI input and that it supports the PS5's resolution15.
: Make sure your PS5 is running the latest system software1.
: This can help diagnose software issues. To do this:
Power off your PS5.
Press and hold the power button until you hear a second beep.
Release the button and connect a controller via USB.
Use the controller to navigate through the Safe Mode menu12.
: In Safe Mode, try setting the video output resolution to automatic or adjust HDCP settings2.
: If all else fails, reset your PS5 to its default settings. Note that this will erase your data, so use it as a last resort12.
: If none of the above steps work, it may be necessary to send your PS5 for professional repair or replacement of the HDMI port24.
Try using a different HDMI port on your TV or monitor.
Test your HDMI cable with another device to ensure it's working properly.
If you can't access Safe Mode, it may indicate a hardware issue with the HDMI port24.
