​@@PhoneRepairGuruhe is right tho it only takes me 2 to 3 hours of micro soldering for old tech like ps2 fats n stuff.

[@Lordhitchy]

This is definitely ambitious, watched a repair on this issue not so long ago and it looked difficult. I'll finish watching the video now to see how you did

[@Lordhitchy]

Update: unfortunate some mini components came off but you gave it a really good go. Look forward to seeing future micro soldering attempts

[@haithamalmasri8341]

​@@Lordhitchy Micro Soldering is actually pretty easy if you have good hand skills just buying the right components would do the job IDK about others but I've been soldering for the past 9 years and I still mess things up but when things work it'll be a game changer because you'll be able to buy car ECU's and fix em for a good profit especially german cars.

[@shadow.aa1]

@@PhoneRepairGuru Oh I see. I misunderstood the “donor” board. I thought that it was a completely functional board and you used it to fix the broken one🤦🏻‍♀️ My thought process sometimes is deadly. Thanks for the answer

[@rozijntje]

I've replaced a fair bit of HDMI and other connectors from several devices. If I can give you some tips: use aluminium or kapton tape to cover the surrounding components if you are new to the game. This will effectively shield the other components or close connectors from overheating and help you direct the heat towards the faulty component. Low melt solder is not needed really, just have good (lead) solder and add this. Don't overheat your components so you don't damage plastics, but use sufficiant heat to get the solder melding without spending too much time doing it. Take some other broken boards to practice desoldering, you will be amazed how fast you will master this. You have all the right gear to do so, just put in some hours of practice.

[@ztechrepairs]

I charge 105 bucks for these. It takes some time to master them. But once you do enough of them you'll be able to disassemble them replace that HDMI port and reassemble them in no time. Takes me a little bit under an hour to do each one.

[@PhoneRepairGuru]

I redid the trace many times after that. Ruled it out, it wasn’t the problem

[@maxito9984]

@@PhoneRepairGuru hmmm what could it be

[@Voo____]

@PhoneRepairGuru Check those components around HDMI with a multimeter (or other means), the cap at 7:27 looked weird imo.

[@diddykangable]

the first playstation console to not have more than one display port and the damn hdmi port crumples like a paper cup when you touch the console.

[@Ahvarok]

Multimeter is your best briend, probably the HDMI IC Chip got shorted also, or the filters are blow up. Maybe a small soldering iron like a C210 or T30 would make it easy also. But for a beginner job that was pretty clean, everyone starts like that, spending over 10 hours on one device that didnt even got fixed, but the experience comes quickly.

[@PhoneRepairGuru]

Thanks! I used the multimeter to check the hdmi encoder but there was no evidence it was shorted.I replaced it anyway but still the same issue. Hopefully in the future I'll know from experience what the issue is

[@danwasfound]

yeah exactly i was gonna say that

if there are no missing pins u can do this with any heat gun and some flux u did a amazing job tho idk why it wouldnt work there has to be something somewhere else

[@chandlerbenally4550]

Micro soldering scares me. I did a bunch of practice on dual shock 4 controllers by replacing the analog stick that had drift and that hate me tense. In the end I could never really get the drift to go away.

[@williamq6435]

Would it have been better to tin the hdmi port; tin the pads and solder the hdmi port? Then you could go on with the trace repair and mask if ater you have made a secure connection. (I remember when I asked you about how to learn microsoldering, I've been doing it for 6 months now, thanks !)

[@qwertykeyboard5901]

Torx is great. The screwdriver and screw head are so snug and tight it's just MMMMM!! SO good!

[@moswireless]

Been Micro-soldering for 8 years now, not bad at all for your first time! One recommendation would be to get a better soldering iron.... makes a big difference!

[@doobydude420]

Did you ever figure out what was fully wrong with it? This stuff is intriguing.

[@jameysummers1577]

I just finished one of these today for a customer. He had 4 ripped pads and a very mangled port. I got it up and running first try and was happy with the repair. It ran for 6 hours without a glitch. As soon as he got it home. Screen flickering. Needless to say I'm getting it back tomorrow. These playstations HDMI ports are extremely delicate and hard to do even if you have done hundreds like me.

[@harrisonrodriguez7414]

It isn’t working because you ran the jumper wire in a spot where little continuity can flow, if you scratch off the circle at the end of the trace and run the jumper from there directly to the pin it should work. Another thing is get bigger jumper wire. Try .1mm instead of .01mm

[@amdboywonder]

@PhoneRepairGuru use some Kapton tape around the HDMI port to prevent knocking components off the board!

[@JimChance]

Just replace the board

[@CobaltCommenter]

God bless you PRG your my favorite phone repair guy. Thanks for inspiring me!

[@PhoneRepairGuru]

My pleasure!

[@hellnawballer]

You should use heat tape to protect those components from the heat gun while you're fixing the HDMI port

[@ossiantansley6583]

I just managed to repair one of these HDMI ports the other day, it was my first successful soldering job! The plastic part of the HDMI had been pushed in, and the pins had been cleanly sheared off. Luckily it had no ripped pads. I have a hot air gun and soldering pen (that i can't put tin on, it just won't stick to the tip). And the repair went pretty well. I also had to resolder the little capacitor next to the port, it's so close and it's tiny. I don't have a microscope, so this is pretty much the limit in terms of scale, any smaller and it gets hard to see what I'm doing.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Nice job, and without a scope 👀

[@Anmol-AK]

Guy is so optimistic

[@makifuego9168]

Gotta be lol

[@E-hab]

You should've coiled more wire to the missing spot then apply UV glue all over it then scratch the soldering joint and better use the hot air gun with the solder paste.

good point, it might be sensitive to any capacitance changes using jumper wire

[@la1m1e]

A single ripped pad is "bad" for this guy. Man, its fantastic! Never seen such a meesed up port with ONLY ONE bad pad!!

[@TarlZaralka]

"They went all out with the cooling" is that why I see a lot of them get returned either for HDMI issues or because of overheating.

You’d think Sony would do something if these HDMI ports break frequently. Anyways, props to you for trying something new!

To make it easier, you can get solder pads, that can solder on one side and use UV mask on the other, so that it is fixed in place and it is mostly like factory pad :)

[@MyszkoServe]

You need to replace all filters and the transmitter (the blach chip near hdmi port) because the previous solder job shorted the solder lines. Your repaired trace also looks very bad. You need to use proper trace repair pads instead of 0.01mm wire

You don't need to buy a donor board like him because the filter chip can find on old pixel, lg 📱, Samsung. And the capacitor can be find on an iPhone 6, or just make a extend that with jumper wire if you know how it work because it's everywhere .🙂
