It is about 30% smaller than the original PS5 and has 1TB of storage. Its biggest design change is the detachable Ultra HD Blu-ray drive. The standard edition ships with the drive fitted, and the Digital Edition can have one added later. The drive has to be paired with the console online the first time it is attached, and that matters when a disc problem comes in. Apart from the drive, the Slim gets the same faults as other PS5 models: an HDMI port damaged by a knock or a cable pulled sideways, overheating from dust in the fan and vents, and power faults where the console won't turn on or shuts off. We tell you what it needs and what it costs before you commit. ## PS5 Slim won't read discs: drive, connection or pairing? A Slim that won't read discs might have a fault in the drive itself, a poor connection between the drive and the console, or a pairing problem rather than any mechanical failure. We work out which before anything gets replaced. The drive is attached to the console by a single connector, so a drive that has been knocked or removed and refitted is worth checking for a seated connection first. A drive that grinds, won't accept a disc or won't eject one has a mechanical fault inside the drive unit. If you bought a drive separately for a Digital Edition, bring the console and the drive together, and tell us whether the console was online when the drive was first attached. ## Cooling inside the Slim: smaller case, same liquid metal The Slim kept the liquid metal used between the processor and heatsink on the original PS5, with a redesigned cooler in a smaller case. Liquid metal conducts electricity and is only reworked when there is evidence it has moved, so overheating repairs on a Slim are usually about the fan, dust and thermal pads. A smaller case has less room for air to move, which makes placement matter. Keep the vents clear and the console out of closed cabinets, and if the fan has grown louder over time, it is likely clogged with dust. ## HDMI port damage on the PS5 Slim The Slim's lighter weight makes it easier to drag by the cable, and a sideways pull is how most HDMI ports are damaged. Signs are no signal on a TV that works with other devices, a picture that drops out when the cable moves, or visible bent pins inside the port. HDMI repairs are board-level work and not same-day. Try another cable and TV input first, and connect directly to the TV rather than through a receiver. If the port is damaged, keep the cable unplugged so the bent pins aren't pushed further. ## USB-C ports, controllers and charging The Slim has two USB-C ports on the front, used for charging controllers and connecting accessories. A front port that has stopped charging a controller, or only works with the cable held at an angle, has a worn or damaged socket. Try the other front port and a different cable first; if one port works and the other doesn't, the socket is the likely fault. ## Power faults and storage on the PS5 Slim A Slim that won't power on, or turns off by itself, is tested to separate the power supply from the board. Try a different outlet and power cable first, and Safe Mode by holding the power button until the second beep. A console that has crashed several times may also need its system software checked and reinstalled, which is worth trying before hardware work. If you have added an M.2 drive, tell us at drop-off. Back up your saves to cloud storage or a USB drive before any repair if the console still starts. ## Digital Edition Slims and adding a drive later A Digital Edition Slim with a drive added later behaves exactly like a standard Slim once the drive is paired. If you plan to add one, attach it while the console is connected to the internet so the pairing can finish. A drive moved between two consoles needs pairing again on the second one, and that is worth knowing before you borrow or sell a drive. ## Bringing a PS5 Slim in Bring the console, its power cable and, for a disc fault, the drive if it was bought separately. Bring it to our store in Tucson Mall, and tell us when the fault began and anything that happened just before it, such as a move or a power cut. ## What You Get With Every Repair - Free diagnostics — the fee comes off your repair - We beat any local competitor's price by at least $10 - 90-day warranty on the work we perform - 1-year limited warranty on genuine OEM parts and the repair - Most repairs finished the same day - Board-level micro-soldering other shops turn away ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How long does PS5 Slim repair take at Gamers Warehouse?
