What's wrong with my HDMI port?

We've had the PS4 for just over 2 years and it's always worked fine, but in the last month sometimes when switched on it just said 'no signal' on the tv but would work eventually. Now it is only showing 'no signal'. I've tried using different HDMI cables and even plugging it into another TV, none of which has worked. The light goes to white and it's possible to turn the PS4 off using the controller from memory so the only problem is with the display. There is no obvious damage to the HDMI port visible. I just want to know, should I have the HDMI port replaced?

There's no way to know for sure without being able to see it and test it. It sounds like you done all the basic troubleshooting so at this point it would probably be time to have an expert look at it. Usually, you can see when a port is faulty but sometimes it's very hard to tell just by look at it on the outside. If the HDMI port is indeed good then it's likely that the HDMI encoder chip on the motherboard is faulty.

Hope this helps.
