I just want you to know, 4 years later.. I fixed a ps4 thanks to your video. My first time soldering. Thank you for the informative video!

I have successfully replaced five damaged HDMI ports now. Your videos have taught me a lot including using techniques I never used before (mainly adding leaded solder to help remove the damaged sockets quicker with less heat). Keep up the great work. Thanks!

Man, this guy's a PRO

hi, i am amazed by your hand work. It is all about how easy and confident you can do it. I have an issue with one of the USB port in the front of the console which my son damaged. its the port which charges the ps4 controller. Any tutorial on how to replace it? please assist. thanks

At least, you are the one that know what to do. My problem with another video is they use heat gun and pliers which is not esd safe.

great vid and job done properly

Such a perfectionist

Good video I enjoyed thank you

Amazing teacher!

Nice work.

Yes true. I used to do TV repair and people don't like to pay, they think you taking them in, they don't know the amount of work and trouble shooting takes. And not only that they expect it done fast. Then once they get it home they come back to you two months later with a deferent problem. I gave up and stuck to electrical high rise work.

Perfect work

Good work. I've learnt a lot watching this and about to embark on my first attempt. What size solder tip do you use and at what temperature do you have the iron and hot air gun.

what temp iron at ? 400C? and hot air at 200C?

Wish i knew about low melt solder before, have spent hours before slowly trying to get stubborn solder to melt.

I also have sent Ubreakifix my motherboard. So long as the pins line up. No reason it shouldn’t work with out testing. Only wish the better backing port was used.

We use Weller. 140w is over doing it. We are using 55w wxmp iron amzn.to/2BLEd8k and it's more then sufficient. Allot of heat can rip the pads off if you're not careful. Are you using 140w ?

Wikipedia - "Desoldering braid, also known as desoldering wick or solder wick, is finely braided 18 to 42 AWG copper wire coated with rosin flux, usually supplied on a roll."

Can you actually do this with only a soldering iron and low melt solder or is the hot air gun necessary?

Hi there great video I am in the process of doing a hdmi port on my PS4 now. I have removed the old port. However while putting new solder on the 19 pins I accidentally touched one of the diodes/ fuse (am not sure) now there seems to be a lot of solder in between the two components. Is there a way I can remove this? Will wix do it? Would I need a small or big tipi can’t seem to get it out cos the solder has gone in between the two. I don’t want to damage anything. Cheers for any help

I don't know if its the HDMI ports fault, or mine but every time I solder an HDMI back into a PS4, I have to battle like hell to get the pins to line up with the pads. I'll get to the point where I'm wedging something between the HDMI and the ethernet port to force it to line up while I solder down the pins, but I know in time, that tension is going to aid in breaking the contacts with the board and it will need repaired again. Ive also tried feeding my desoldering wick through each mounting pin hole to make sure I'm getting every last drop of old solder that may be causing the pin misalignment, but still have issues. You seem to just drop them in and they line up effortlessly so I hope its my HDMI's.

Okay so I can when you applied the solder to the back to hold the the HDMI port. But I didn't catch when you put it on the pins. I saw you pass over with the soldering tool but didn't actually see the solder. Is the solder already on the pins? Is the solder on the tip? I'm just confused on that part lol. Getting the stuff ready to do my first port swap. Great video thanks!

@wolveric0

He put a little bit of solder in the tip but the flux is essential if you will do it that way, flux is what makes the solder flow into the pins, solder itself contains a little bit of flux but as soon as you heat it on your tip the flux dissipates so you have to compensate adding flux to the pins.

Good day sir. I just want to ask. I'm from the Philippines. I watched your video about fixing ps4 hdmi port and already fixed mine but there is a problem. The hdmi replacement port does not work on all tv's I tried it with devant 32" smart tv and sharp 29" led tv and nova 16" led tv and it only shows no signal but when I pluged it on sony tv (not smart tv) and it work there is a display and sound. My tech also tried on his hisense tv and it also work. How does it only works on some tv? I bought the replacement hdmi port from china through online. I hope you read this message.

So apply flux, low melt.solder, remove, scrub, flux, solder, back solder done?

Are all the DMI's ports the same for all models? or are they different? CUH 1115a, 1001A, 1215A HDMI Ports? I also heard that sometimes when you change out the HDMI port , it might of shorted the board and it wont show display> I tell my customers that the fix the majority of the times works but at times there is that small % that the new HDMI might now work. Is this true?

What’s the liquid that’s on the board? Before you put the low melt solder

you use low melt solder to resolder the ground pins??

Question have you ever replaced the hdmi port on a PlayStation 4, then reassembled it, and then the console can't power on at all? That happened to.me today and it doesn't make sense.

Ur in Northridge 😂 I'm in Reseda going to attempt this myself.. 😁

May seem like a stupid question, the temperatures you stated at the start, are they farenheit or celcius?

Attaching the new port with low melt solder doesn’t cause problems down the road? Like the pin joints loosening and losing connection cuz the PlayStation got too hot.

Hi which low melt solder do you use I am in the uk

is low melt solder just as strong as the original have you ever had one come back?

May i ask on what degrees celsius were your hot air and iron settings at?

so the low melt is strong enough for the main legs ?

What is the clear stuff you put on before soldering? Imagine some sort of flux, any particular type?

could somebody please tell me the materials he uses and the tools and where to get them?

Hello sir, i count that hdmi pins its 19. Am i right? Is all ps4 model have the same amount of pins?

Very nice I just don’t have the patience 😅

Do I need to use the heat gun?

Can anyone clarify if he uses the low melt to remove and put back the hdmi if so how are you saying the low melt to remove and the the same tools to add the hdmi . This wasn’t clearifyed

Why don’t you use hot air on pins?

What is that liquid he is putting on? Is that flux and alcohol?

Great soldering job! I just accidentally pulled off the power supply connector from the motherboard on my ps4 while changing the thermal paste. Bought a cheap soldering kit and got her done. Simple for you, but the experience made me feel like I was Einstein! Now I'm looking for shit to solder! I broke the handle off of my wife's coffee mug and that doesn't solder too good at all. LOL Subscribed you. Thanks for posting this!

perfect

Can o do this with out hot air gun ?

Yes, I have learned much from your video and from attempting it myself. One question. I'm assuming from watching you that you cannot solder the pins together, that they must be carefully soldered individually. Is that right?

The solder hardened too fast what do I do?

Which IPA your Using it...

How much does a repair like this cost

Same here in india. Free is always dearer then paid one.

Great 🤩🤩

hey there, i'm looking to order some of that Low melt solder to do this job on a PS4... but i'm in the UK, you happen to know any UK retailers or if you can refer me to a similar product from the UK? also, sorry i know it's a bit of an ask but just trying to make sure i got the right stuff coz the Solder that came with the Kit i ordered doesn't seem to be doing the job so my best guess is that it's not mixing with the solder on the board the way it's supposed to or the heatgun i'm using isn't hot enough (hairdryer, lol), also will i need a heat gun or do you know if a hair dryer could hit those temperatures? about to order myself a heat gun anyway, but figured it'd be worth askin. cheers and thanks for the instructional video, take care
