This is by far the best soldered HDMI connector I've seen. Very impressive.

Great work sir! So nice to see that your dad is there working along side you! The greatest memories I have is working on my cars with my dad and him patiently teaching what he knew. Treasure those moments because you never know how long you’ve got with him. My dad passed away 1 1/2 years ago and miss him every single day. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I look forward to every video with anticipation. You continue to impress, "every" time. Awesome to watch a true professional at work. Keep them coming my friend.

Alex, thank you for making this video! This helped me replace a HDMI connector for a customer. I'm confident that I can do many more repairs like this. Again, thank you for what you do and keep up the great work!

Been doing this years but I dont have the best hot air station and always found this to be the easiest way. Glad to see you show it and some people would have learned something new

I've been watching your videos for a while, it reminds me of my childhood when I wanted to work with repair, maybe now I can study to become one good professional like you, hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷!

Fixed an Xbox One X HDMI port today as well, oh and replaced the retimer chip on it too! 😂🥳

They all seem to go in pairs. Waiting on some HDMI ports so I can finish one up here, too (ran out).

Wow, you did an amazing job! Great to see, new ways to soldering a HDMI port! Good as always! Thank you!

This was just mesmorising to watch honestly. Couldnt take my eyes of it. Thank you so much. You do amazing work

Same method I use to remove high temp solder around heat sensitive RF components. Glad to see your using this technique.

Yes, simple technique but super effective and informative. Thanks so much, Robert

I love how solder flows and makes connections on electronic circuit boards, it's so neat.

great job and great teacher on this other way to solder an hdmi connector! always learning with your videos thanks from Argentina

Ive always done it like this only time i solder each pin is if i don't feel confident in the reflow which usally doesn't happen everyone should have been doing it this way safer and easy. Lot of us can solder well just dont have the same following to post videos. Keep up the good work

Great job. It was fun to see the smile on Big Boss's face.

Much better than factory. Your skills are amazing, thanks for sharing.

WOW.. I'm replacing HDMI port in the same way for last 5 years sir. Good work is done by the company too.. thanks

You are the best teacher of last century. 👏👏👏

I am a phone tech. I have been teaching myself how to solder HDMI ports on consoles, I have watched so many different videos. yours are done the most accurate and clean methods that I will be using. you are a legend bro. stay awesome.

Merry Christmas Northridge. I hope you have a great time off with your family!

Absolutely love your videos , did a whole marathon of them . Love from lebanon

destroyed 8 xbox 360s attempting to solder a simple modchip back when i was 15 years old - so simple, yet even that was a challenge as a dumb teen. replacing HDMI ports is way more difficult. you make it look so easy, man. failing repeatedly in the past was extremely depressing and a huge waste of money, but the experience and repetition was worth it. have improved quite a lot since then. still not a master at micro-soldering; however your videos are inspiring and really appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing your progress, it's very helpful and insightful 👍 high quality flux is definitely important. had to learn that the hard way

Soldering perfection, better than factory, well done :)

Very nice way to solder the HDMI port indeed but you really have to know how to handle a hot air station, if you aim wrong you will smelt the connector so yes for more experienced repair people like you this is a much easier and faster way to do it. Great fix Alex

I do this method from underneath the port. Once you get the factory solder off, to heat from under I use about 390c at full speed and it's pretty easy to reflow the new connection.

@@MitchCairns what solder are you using for tinning the pads

You can also reflow it simply by using heat underneath the board. Stops the port getting cremated.

nice work! happy trees at the end rob ross style

Thank you for doing what you do that really helped me out a lot. For real from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

Man, I wish I knew about you a week ago. I've already learned so much, and I'm happy about that, but upset that I didn't find you sooner

I love watching this guy, he is so good at what he does, very interesting and very satisfying

Its awesome. It wants me to try that on charging ports too (no news here, just I'm not used to do that way). Also, this is a job that requires the user to know pretty well his hot air station, like you do. Good job!

It is sooo satisfying to look at; I want to get into repairs just for this

11:52 Big Boss saying the magic word! ❤

THIS GUYS WORK IS THE BEST ...LOVE YOUR WORK 👍👍

Love to see your work. Thanks for sharing.

I just use hot air to lift it and without letting it cool I just drop a new port right back into the molten solder and touch up the pins if needed which isn't often. I do this on ps4,xbox one and series and ps5s.

We did do an amazing job, well done guys.

This is my preferred way of soldering HDMI. Not that I can ever get it that clean looking, but it sure beats messing around with bridged pins with an iron. Amazing, and super clean job 👍

My favorite method, switched to it awhile ago, it comes out very clean.

I had always done it this way. Great work!

A true Master at soldering Very Impressive

Hands down , Above the rest. I liked that you told , how Flux worked. Very informative and explained that I could easily comprehend. You now have one more Subscriber. Thank you Sir. From Oklahoma. BOOMER SOONER!!!!!BABY.

I'm using this method 2 maybe 3 years ...nice work !

perfect welding, congratulations, friend!!!

Nice reflow trick. Will try next time to compare results. I think the mico tip soldering iron preformed better than I thought it would. Holds just enough solder to get the job done with little waste

It is sooo clean by reflowing only and the quote it fits “better than factory”

I use solder paste and hot air for the pins. Works like a charm each and every time.

I also run a small repair business. I don’t even bother removing the solder on the pads and in the holes but do add leaded solder to them. I also pre-tin the connectors of the new HDMI port. After that I again apply flux on the holes and pads, heat the board from underneath and gently push the port into the holes with a plyer when the solder has melted. I believe this makes for a sturdier connection between the board and the legs.

Very neat job. Better than factory for sure.

U are doing a very noble job big brother. Bless u . Just like linus

Well done, thank you for teaching us

Yes I've always done it this way. Try tinning the pins of the HDMI port as well.

Amazing job quality. Greetings from France!

I love learning from your videos

Very nice. When you used to solder the pins with an iron, you would drag solder across them, or actually do 1 pin at a time?

I used the low melt solder from your shop and did this on PS4 hdmi to remove post solder but after watching this will try and see if falls off like butter and clean. Great job. BTF

Beautiful work!

Some people droll over great looking dishes, that HDMI connector, is just one of those beauties i could glare at it longer than play on the console itself Great job

I used to do hdmi repairs that way when I first started out, needless to say I didn’t know my hot air station well enough and melted the plastic. I’ve been doing pin by pin ever since but everyone is different great work.

I wouldn't go above 340C for that. Could also try about 400-420C and go from the bottom, given there's nothing super sensitive down there.

Very nice work. Salute to you, and big boss

I do this with a lot of phones samsung models J series and G series. Great video my friend.

Beautiful work

Best team: Big boss and Alex!

Nice work as always mate. I have seen it, reflowing the hdmi port. Thanks anyway. Great vid.

Of course Big Boses special touch saved the day lmfso. Great job guys you rock.

Reflow with heat on top the airflow and the heat has to be right otherwise the Port is melting. Good Job like always 👍

amazing job , new way is always better that factory

Cool technique! Thanks

BIG FAN OF YOURS... I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU. LOVE FROM PAKISTAN

man you video's are like crack.. so so so addictive. love this stuff man. so happy I found you.

I like it when I can reflow an hdmi port on one of the Xboxs.I personally feel as they are the easiest to do when compared to other gaming consoles. Definitely a lot faster and safe because of how much metal is around that replacement hdmi port.

As usual, Awesome work!

Both of u are doing a great job! Thanks for sharing! I have a question: Don't need to use aluminium paper to protect other components when u are using the hot station?

Great work!

Surely better than factory...you're the best.

Great technique

Top work, pleasure to watch

Weird, I solder pins like that for years.... Be it eeproms, flash, socs or ports, it's just better than one by one with the iron. There are exceptions of course, but in general that's the way better thing to do.

I totally agree. Its faster (especially if you need to do multiple devices a day) and the result looks cleaner. Been doing it this way for years as well.

hi king awsome job i have some costumers that only come to my shop for changing connectors the reason is other repair shops in my town are replacing with hot air only i use solder iron heat decreases quality of the connectors even the best quality connectors better than factory

Makes sense, reflow is cleaner and even solder distribution, and Big Boss the best.

Reflow is also risky if not careful. Can easily smoke the HDMI connector as you said ;). Btw are you a repair technician?

another winner alex great job .....

Yeah that is how I like to repair the HDMI connectors as well. But it would be tough to do it on a PS4 due to the plastic wall behind the pins. It melts pretty easily when trying to use the heat gun like you showed in the video. So I try to re-flow by having the hot air gun underneath the motherboard. It's tricky but I am getting better at it.

Great work 👍💪🏼

Wow...a masterpiece of work. It's like art and magic. Perfect work alex. Thank you for the video, it is so relaxing to watch your videos after work.

Great job.

good job mate.

Great video. Thank you

Great job

Great job better than factory 💯

Thanks for ur information. Can u just please show us ur setup tour where u r working

This is my preferred way to install hdmi ports, it's a bit more tricky on the Normal Xbox one the 1s is by far the easiest. I use this method and kapton tape when you have plastics close by.

Good as always

big boss is the best, as always

perfect soldering.

Been doing this years joey. By far the easiest way to do a hdmi port very rarely will you ever have to touch a pin with the iron. 400°c is my goto just make sure you keep the heat moving so you do not melt the port

Good work

I’m new to micro repairs and I found your video incredibly helpful. My question is what is the green paste you’re using on the board after the replacement of the HDMI port?
