[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi Everyone, thanks for watching. As there appears to be some confusion over what part of the HDMI port I am referring, I have attached a close up picture for your ease of understanding: drive.google.com/file/d/1nYwZaYcaKrAbYL6Nsrgn1AA8T0TmL-53/view?usp=sharing

Handy dandy, i wanna ask u smth, 2 years ago i went to a guy who repairs ps4, and he repaired my hdmi port, can the hdmi port be repaired twice? I wanna know please cause my hdmi port needs repair again, can it be repaired again?

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

@@keegan4713 Hi KeeGan, thanks for watching and sending me your question. I would say that most likely the HDMI port can be repaired twice; however, I would qualify that by saying it depends on how well it was fixed the first time. If the HDMI port was replaced by a qualified tech that did not overheat the circuit board (overheating can delaminate the thin copper etching) and properly soldered it, then it can be replaced. I think, though, that it is odd that it would need to be replaced after 2 years--typically most repair depots replace the OEM HDMI port with a much better after market port to ensure longevity. This leads me to speculate about the thoroughness /qualifications of the original repair depot. Maybe contact the same repair center and see if they will do a free customer service replacement or give you a discount for the 2nd replacement. Hope the above helps you; all the best to you, H.D.H. [: { ].

[@keegan4713]

Alright man thank you, i delivered it to the repair man so he can fix it, he is gonna take a look if it can be fixed, so i hope it will be fixed pray for me🙌🥺

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

@@keegan4713 Hi KeeGan, thanks for updating me on your decision. Yes, I will pray for you and your PS4. It is good that the repair man said he needed to first look at it to see if it could be repaired...so maybe he will unde-rpromise and over-deliver. All the best to you, H.D.H. [: { ].

Never expected it to work, and when it did work, it felt amazing I haven't been able to use the ps4 for almost a year now, all the other yt videos were bs Thank you very much man, you saved my ps4

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi Hamid Osman, thanks for watching and sending me your results. That is great news that the fixed worked for you (despite the initial skepticism). The HDMI port connection, while compact is very finicky, so the slightest changes in how it is held within the port can make the difference between a good connection and a poor one.

i just took mine to the shop to get the hdmi port replaced for $150. i tried the things in this video but i think my port was completely shot. coincidentally i was getting a video signal until i took off the bottom of the ps4 to blow all the dust out of the fan, and as soon as i hooked it back up i couldn't get a video signal. the guy at the shop still thinks replacing the port will fix it, and i only have to pay if it works. considering i have like 90 ps4 games, $150 is kind of a small price to pay.

[@DoubleClutchAutoReviews]

This worked like a charm! The only thing I did different was that I used a sewing needle instead of a toothpick or metal pick tool to prop up the "prong pieces" in the HDMI port because it was thinner than the pick tool, and stronger than the toothpick. The toothpick wasn't strong enough, and it was breaking at the tip when I put to much leverage on it. The metal pick tool wasn't thin enough, and I couldn't slip it under the prong. The sewing needle worked phenomenally! I was back to playing it that day. Thank you so much for making this video HDH. Literally saved me from buying a crappy used PS4. 👍👍

So my ps4 doesn’t output anything to my tv it turns on but it’s just a black screen. Do u know how to fix it?

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

@@PatsFN Hi J X N, thanks for your further comment. I would suggest trying the fix outlined in my video. If that doesn't work, I would recommend trying to shift the HDMI cable while the PS4 is on to see if the slight adjustment improves the signal (you get something other than just a black screen or 'no signal' on the TV). If that does work, try duct taping the HDMI cable in the best position while leaving the PS4 on for 4 or more hours (the heat may help the solder on the HDMI port), then turn off the PS4 and unplug it for 4+ hours. Try turning the PS4 on again and see if this helps. If it does--great. If it doesn't then, I am sorry but the issue with the PS4 may be more advanced. You may want to try contacting Sony and requesting a warranty repair of the unit, as many people have reported similar problems. Thanks, H.D.H. [: { ].

[@xzoticcarts]

@@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND Idk if this will help but I don’t wanna try and mess it up more, will it help me? Because my fell on the hdmi and it cut off and the hdmi cord is loose and that’s how ik it’s hdmi + I even got a new hdmi cord still didn’t work.

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

@@xzoticcarts Hi AshtonIsVibin, thanks for watching and sending your question to me and the community. If your PS4 fell and the HDMI cord was connected to the port it is likely that the HDMI port connection itself has been compromised. My fix is more directed towards HDMI ports that just stop providing a video signal over time. You could try my fix, it would not cost you anything and it takes only about 5 minutes, and it may or may not work. Before you attempt it, however, just try using your finger and see if the HDMI port wiggles or shifts. If it does, then likely the solder connection that connects the port to the circuit board has cracked and needs to be re-soldered. Look for a Sony authorized warranty depot and see if they can trouble shoot it for you. Hope you get it working. All the best to you, H.D.H. [: { ].

@@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND I was looking around my house for hours to find something that was thin enough to push on of the metal pieces back up because one was flat , I succeeded in doing that , and my ps4 still doesn’t work

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi Elijah Montas. Just to confirm, you unplugged the PS4, nudged up the flattened pins, you cleaned with isopropyl alcohol the HDMI cable head, you checked to make sure the PS4 HDMI port on the back of the PS4 did not have dirty lines on it (use a flashlight to make sure) and you used a new input in your t.v.--is that correct. Last, when you plugged the PS4 back in, you tried resetting it twice--is that correct. If you did all those things, may I suggest using a new or different HDMI cord that you know works with another monitor or tv. Also, when you take the HDMI cord out of your PS4 this time, are the pins still up or have they reflattened? Please try and let me know when you have tried that, also let me know how old your PS4 is, what type of PS4 is it (PS4 slim/pro or other). Thanks for your patience while we try to get this working for you. All the best, H.D.H. [: { ]

Hi Everyone, I received a comment from rached Marri asking a question about which specific area of the PS4 to pull out at 2:54. For some reason, I am not able to directly reply to rached Marri's comment so I am doing so via this public comment section. Rached Marri: The area that you need to pull out are two tiny metal strips that are located on the metal piece that surrounds the HDMI port. At 2:54, I have a metal pick pointing to a piece that I have already pulled out (look to where the metal pick is pointing) and a RED arrow pointing to a piece that is still not protruding outward. In case you are still not sure, just look for the only two slits in the outer metal casing (as opposed to the thin, horizontal piece in the center). If you look at the neighboring AUX port, you will also see two pieces of metal sticking upward, the HDMI pieces are like that but not as high. Unfortunately, I tried to film this repair with a regular video in real time, but the camera couldn't pick up the very small detail; I need a special lens that can pick up the small detail. I am still building my channel and hopefully I can get monetized one day (2yrs hopefully from now Oct 2020) at which point I will have extra money to buy more equipment. Thanks, hope this helps even though I couldn't directly respond to your comment. All the best, H.D.H. [: { ]

I guess, its worth a shot if you are experiencing the Blue Screen no signal issue. You might want to try resetting the PS4 (hold power button for 10 sec until 2nd beep and then unplug power supply for 10 seconds and see if the reset helps). Apart from that, you might want to contact Sony for a warranty authorized repair depot that might be able to diagnose your console for you. All the best to you in 2021, H.D.H. [: { ].

My boyfriends old OG first ever PlayStation needs the cord to be propped at an angle like earbuds. He said one of the “prongs” are splintered from taking the cord in and out for four years straight taking it to his grandmothers and back. I’m not sure how to fix that because that’s gonna be my PS4 soon.

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi wonderland, thanks for watching and sending in your question. Yes, I have heard from other viewers that shifting the HDMI cable can help in ensuring a better connection. If one of the metal strips along the outside perimeter of the HDMI port is damaged/broken, then altering the angle of the HDMI cable entering the port may assist. Fixing this particular issue will likely require a HDMI port replacement, as one cannot easily repair/reattach the damaged metal strip. Sorry I couldn't provide you with better news.

when i conect my ps4 to tv it woks when i conecy my ps4 to monitor its say noo vga sinla i conect it w bga video cable

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi ItsAmarYT, thanks for watching and sending me a summary of your problem. We should confirm a few things: First, when you are connecting your PS4 to the TV, you are connecting a HDMI cable from the PS4 directly to the HDMI port in the TV--is this correct? Second, when you are connecting your PS4 to a monitor are you still using the same HDMI cable/port to connect to the monitor's HDMI port or are you switching to VGA with some sort of adapter. If you are switching to VGA with an adapter, it may not work unless you have a specific adapter designed to convert HDMI signals to VGA or RCA outputs. Please let me know and I will try to help you out. All the best to you for the new year, 2021, H.D.H. [: { ]

Need help ps4 works and turns on but when I try plugging it into tv it says no singal I tried different hdmi cables as well but it might be the hdmi port on my ps4 but idk how it could have broke

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi Damien Salazar, thanks for watching and sending me a summary of your issue. The symptoms you have described are, unfortunately, common among PS4 consoles. I don't know if it the design or the type of HDMI port that is used. What I do know is that the PS4 and especially the PS4 pro run very hot (just try standing next to one while gaming and you could use it as a space heater). The heat contributes to many issues including the melting of solder and of expanding and contracting metals which makes them more pliable (bendable) and--potentially--more brittle. With regards to your specific problem, please let me know if you have tried my fix. Sometimes the prongs on the PS4's HDMI port become flat and can't hold the HDMI cable centered or properly connected to the center piece and you get 'No signal error'. If that doesn't work, try cleaning the HDMI cable and the metal pieces inside the HDMI port with a thin cotton swab and rubbing alcohol [BE GENTLE] (heat increases the oxidization of most metals so sometimes oxidized connections can cause the no signal error). Last, see if moving or shifting the HDMI cable while it is plugged into the PS4 improves the signal. If it does improve the signal, then try using something to prop the cable into the position that provides the best signal and then leave it on, after 4 hours, turn it off and unplug it, and let the PS4 cool. This may help shift the solder next to the HDMI port pins enough to re-establish a better connection. Last, if nothing else works, use your finger and see if the PS4 port wiggles when you put pressure on it. If it does, likely you need to have the HDMI port replaced. Hope my suggestions help you, let me know if you need further help. Thanks, H.D.H. [: { ].

[@theriseoftony]

Sadly the pin broke before I could even do this. Happened when I removed the hdmi cable and then TVs died at the same time

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

He TheRiseofTony, thanks for watching and let me know your concern. I am sorry to hear that the metal pin/strip broke before you could fix it. Considering the pin is broken, I wonder if inserting a thin paper wedge between the cable and the HDMI port might provide just enough friction to get it working again. You may wish to try this, but I have really no idea if it would work. Best alternative suggestion I can make is contact Sony and request a repair under warranty (regardless of when you purchased the PS4) as this appears to be a common issue with PS4s. Please let me know if either suggestion works. All the best to you, H.D.H. [: { ].

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi james her, thanks for watching and sending me your question. My son's PS4 worked initially for about 6 months then stopped (without us moving the PS4, but with my son removing the HDMI cable) because the PS4 froze. We did the fix and I told him to never remove the HDMI cable and the fix has been working for over 11 months now. I need to know, do you move your PS4 often or do you remove the HDMI cable and re-plug it in to different monitors? This may be the reason why the fix works but then stops working. If after repeated successful tries, it stops, working, I hypothesis that the HDMI port on your PS4 may be experiencing metal fatigue and the thin strips of metal are not able to 'bounce' back as resiliently as they did in prior fixes. Sometimes heat can give metal back its resiliency, but trying to get a heat source close to the HDMI port is going to be challenging without opening it up. You could try a very thin, micro soldering iron, but only provide the heat for a few seconds, as you don't want to melt anything or de-solder the component. Hope the above helps. All the best to you, H.D.H. [: { ].

[@bana..]

Everytime I try to prop up the metal pieces the toothpick breaks and how do I know if I propped them up

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi 999squirt, thanks for watching and sending me your concern. Sorry about your toothpicks breaking...perhaps try a plastic pick. If that doesn't work, you may have to use a long needle or a long pin, if you don't have metal pick like the one I used in the video. You will know if you have 'propped' them up enough when you can see them protruding about 1-2 mm away from the metal that surrounds the HDMI port. If you want to be really precise, you can look at prongs in the port next to the HDMI port (AUX) and prop up the HDMI port prongs about half this height. Hope this helps. All the best to you, H.D.H. [: { ].

[@ELMstreett]

@@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND I don’t know how to make them go up tho

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

@@ELMstreett Hi The World, thanks for watching. With reference to your question, let me give you a bit of an overview. The HDMI port has a metal casing (grey colored) with a center bit (black or dark colored). The center area seats into the HDMI cable. There are two tiny metal strips that are supposed to provide a bit of tension to the HDMI cable when it is placed inside the PS4 HDMI port that are located on the outer casing. Sometimes (more like typically) these metal strips bend towards the outside (i.e. away from the center of the HDMI port or away from the HDMI cable that you stick into the port). My fix in the video explains how to gently move the strips back in place so that they can provide the friction to the HDMI cable that has been lost. Note: be gentle, use a pick, or a long pin and only push up until you see a little hump for the HDMI cable to slide against (DO NOT push the strip all the way up--this will mean that the HDMI cable edge will snag on it). Just push up the curved area of the strip. Hope this helps you, please let me know if you have any other questions. All the best to you, H.D.H. [ : { ].

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi lxlspooky_ , thanks for watching and sending me your comment. I am not sure what could be causing the black and white lines. It could be a poor connection between the TV and the PS4. One way to test this is to hook up a laptop to the same hdmi and see if the problem persists. If it does, then replace the hdmi cable and retest, if it does not then the problem may be with your PS4 hdmi port. Unfortunately, without more information, it is hard for me to provide any other assistance. Hope you try out my test and see if it works. All the best to you, H.D.H. [: { ].

He DrixpAlghizi, thanks for watching and sending me a summary of your issue. If you can hold the HDMI cable to establish a connection, then it is likely the issue is with an incomplete video connection. Try the following: 1) see if a brand new HDMI cable will work, 2) Alternatively, you can try to jerry rig the existing cable in place with duct tape and operate the PS4 for 4+ hours, then shut down as normal and do not disturb for 24 hours--this method can sometimes use the heat from the PS4 to help bring the metals in the port and HDMI cable more closely together.

[@HANDYDANDYHUSBAND]

Hi bora Demirbulakli, thanks for watching and providing me with a summary of your issue. It is a real drag that trying to add a VR Headset to your PS4 has caused such an issue. I am not sure my video will directly address this issue. My thinking is that the VR Headset setup/download caused some of your native video/audio settings on the PS4 to change. The problem is how do you alter/switch these settings if you can't see anything on the screen. While this is going to be hard, this is what I would recommend: 1) find a friend who has the same PS4 model as you (i.e. Slim/Pro/Reg etc.), 2) Set a video chat with that friend where he points his/her phone at their TV as he turns on he PS4. At this point turn on your PS4 as well, 3) Ask your friend to pretend like s/he is about to adjust his/her settings and follow his controller movements exactly (i.e. if he pushes up on his joystick, you do so as well, if he presses O or X or triangle, you do the same) Your friend should be asked to go to Sound and Screen > Audio Output Settings > Primary Output Port > HDMI, 4) After this ask your friend to follow the procedure to safely shut down the PS4 and follow those steps as well. Unplug your PS4, wait 10 seconds, and plug in your power cable, plug in a HDMI cable, and turn on the PS4--see if it works. If it does, great you are now in business. If it does not work, you may have to deactivate your PS4 and Reset your PS4 while mimicking your friend's controller gestures. Note that resetting your PS4 is known as an initialization and will erase everything from your PS4 (i.e. Harddrive will be completely erased). This will take a few hours so leave your PS4 on for the full day to make sure the reset is complete. I don't know if the above suggestions will work, but that is where I would start. Sorry, in advance, if this was not helpful to you. I hope you get your PS4 working. Please let me and the community know what does eventually work. Thanks (and Merry Christmas to you), H.D.H.
