Soo nice to see others out there with great soldering skills and use of hot air!

[@ToltecMerc]

Why thank you! That's very kind of you!

[@CarlosGarcia-d3e]

I assumed that he would see very little content due to the move, he will have to install his furniture, tools and measuring equipment himself when basic facilities such as water, electricity and other services are available. Having said the above, it is easy to imagine the joy it gives me to see when you upload a video, although apparently it is a simple repair, the life of an electronic technician does not always have to be “complex”. Thanks for sharing. All the best.

[@keithsmith7031]

Just got in from being out today and saw your new upload, had to sit down with my coffee. Great score for once, sort of looked like something spilled into the port since it didn't go past the shield. Ether way good to see it in the end easy fix for ya. Another PS5 lives another day. Already looking forward to your next 🙂

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank so much. It was a simple repair. More to come soon though!

[@jamesmccormick5234]

As always really enjoyed the content you put out.. another great video can’t wait for the next video 😊

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! More on the way!

[@haakmeer]

a fast great repair again, up to the next one

[@ToltecMerc]

It was a quickie! Thanks for stopping by!

[@tony359]

That ps5 went so close to have the hdmi port ripped from the PCB… thankfully whoever butchered it stopped before it was too late! Well done!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! It was almost dissolved from the PCB with whatever corrosive flux was used.

[@eddiebaker]

1st Not to mention that this is the simplest one I've seen you do! Amazing as always.

[@ToltecMerc]

True. It's not my usual video but I thought it was going to be so much more when I started recording. I never know.

[@jonydarksy2600]

Like a pro. Amazing job as always. :)

Thanks again!

[@TechTronics7]

I was wondering where you've been and BAM a video comes on my feed. 😂

[@ToltecMerc]

Oh, I'm around. Just been busy with real life. Thanks for the visit!

[@REMEDY-REPAIRS]

Really nice work 👍🏾👊🏾

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it!

[@RoysRepair]

Always love your videos my friend. Such a shame to see the rough job on that port. And the ribbon cable disconnected had me howling. Nice job.

[@ToltecMerc]

I really though this repair was going to be more involved when I started recording. I don't like to do videos on simple HDMI port repairs.

[@630nitronutter]

Was getting worried hadn’t heard from you for a while 👊🏻👊🏻

Good job mate 👏

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@klorslug]

That was one nasty looking port. Maybe plumbers flux/solder. Nice work.

[@ToltecMerc]

That was my guess as well. Very corrosive!

[@Console_Tech]

Another amazing touch

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much!

[@ajaks7636]

That original port was nasty. Plumbers flux on it? Great Repair and Video! Thank You.

[@ToltecMerc]

I'm thinking plumbers flux. Very corrosive. No way a shop would use that stuff.

[@brandonkick]

I think I may have even saw this unit on ebay, the no power after repair spooked me. Curious as to what temp you run your hot air at for the removal of the HDMI, and for the hot flowing of the new one. I have a quick 957dw hot air station and even at or near max heat it didn't seem to wanna get hot enough to hot swap like this. Even removing it was hard. I ended up going with low melt solder to be able to get the port of without risking damage. Then I tacked the legs in one by one using my j shaped iron tip. Not super easy, but I was able to manage. Being able to flow it on and off simply with the hot air seems like it woulda been better. Maybe your station is just more powerful than mine. I think my quick is only rated at 1000w.

[@ToltecMerc]

Honestly, on HDMI ports I use max heat(500C) and max air flow.

[@phynx-victumterra652]

Blu-fi :) I actually like that name, the IC does handle both after all

[@ToltecMerc]

Alcohol may have been a factor.

[@mohindersembi7647]

Wow you are all way brilliant master of the master professional guru 👏 😀 well done 👏 ✔ greetings from London 😊

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! That's very kind of you!

[@taltechchip5827]

Nice fix but.. Wow!.. That was more shocking than educational.😅 Hold my beer I grab my blowtorch, Will be fixed in minute😎

[@ToltecMerc]

I've seen some really bad repairs from supposed techs. No tech would use plumbers flux.

[@tommorgan7043]

Looks like they watched The Cod3er’s video on removing an HDMI port with a blowtorch?

[@ToltecMerc]

They tried to melt it off with acid.

[@argee99]

@@ToltecMerc Thanks for the video. It's always good to show sometimes things can be 'simple', I think it gives some people the encouragement to try to tackle the problem vice having the mindset of its too difficult.

[@Gamehunter4070]

Can you do a brief video for the most popular problem and solution of shutdown ps5 .

[@maverick9725]

If the pins on a hdmi are shorted together will it cause a beep on/off? And keep up the good work thank you for the videos

[@ToltecMerc]

@@maverick9725 I don’t believe that would cause beep-on beep-off.

Nice work. How are you liking the new workbench?

[@ToltecMerc]

@@davidstrider2007 it’s the same workbench I had before, just in a different house. I’m still unboxing stuff. At least I can work now.

[@davidstrider2007]

​@ToltecMerc oh I thought you were building a new one. Threw me off seeing your workbench empty a couple months back. My bad. Hope the new house is nice.

[@ISquishWorms]

Would that be that new special Phosphoric acid flux that they used, do you think?

[@ToltecMerc]

No electronic flux should be that corrosive. I'm thinking plumbers flux.

[@ISquishWorms]

@@ToltecMerc I had heard that plumbers flux is corrosive after watching youtubers like yourself, but curiosity got the better of me so I tried a little on a very cheap soldering iron and wow that flux destroyed the tip in no time.

[@DarthLordRaven]

What do you use to clean the fan? i only use a compressor.

[@ToltecMerc]

@@DarthLordRaven sometimes I will spray with alcohol and then spin with the air compressor to sling off the dirt. Sometimes I still have to clean more with cotton swabs and alcohol.

[@DarthLordRaven]

@@ToltecMerc thanks!

[@VahidRahimi-i7j]

Hello, if we open the ps5 slim device to replace the hmi socket, the liquid metal on the cpu and paste must be replaced?

[@franceschik1]

alongside the cotton stick, what liquid do you use for the cleaning?

[@ToltecMerc]

99% pure isopropyl alcohol

Also i notice stranger behavior under Sb. In the cap that is 3.3V standby its OL and drain current in diode reading however power on it give the 3.3V

[@amirb715]

can I ask what is the flux you use? a link would be awesome

It's just cheap Kingbo RMA-218. Nothing special. www.ebay.com/itm/143408532066

How can anyone damage it like that? I would never lend my ps5 to these persons.

[@ToltecMerc]

I'm not sure what happened to this port. Lots of damage to an expensive device.

@@ToltecMerc maybe HDMI should be symmetrical like usb-c is, a standard right now. lots of scratches were present like some kid did the damage, oh jeez well done m8!
