PS5 Repairs by Post, Australia Wide: What Can Be Fixed by Mail

The PS5 is a big console, and posting one interstate sounds drastic until you price the alternative. Every fault below costs a fraction of a replacement console to fix, and every one of them repairs exactly as well arriving by parcel as by drop-off.

The faults that arrive by post

• No signal or black screen — board-level HDMI port replacement, $170
• Jet-engine fan: internal clean, $80. Running hot or shutting down: overheating package with fresh liquid metal, $150
• Completely dead: usually the power supply, replaced for $180 after diagnosis confirms it
• Discs not feeding or reading: drive repair or replacement, $150
• DualSense drift — hall effect or TMR upgrades from $40, and controllers post in a small satchel

How the process runs

Book online and choose Post it in. Pay online, wait for the confirmation email with the address, then post the console in a well-padded box via Australia Post. A boxed PS5 costs roughly $25 to send depending on where you are; the tracked return trip is included in your booking total. The repair starts as soon as the parcel lands, and your 3 month warranty starts the day it is delivered back to you.

What about my games and saves?

Hardware repairs do not touch storage, so everything is exactly as you left it. For belt and braces, PS Plus cloud saves mean even a worst-case parcel disaster cannot take your progress — worth syncing before you pack the box regardless.
