[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@dendys04]

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.

[@hellnawballer]

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

[@amdboywonder]

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

[@davaikspw]

Phone repair guru oiled up🙏

[@Dementedcow770]

top comment right here

[@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 !)

[@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.

"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.

[@amaanali6844]

PRG: if I can repair this then maybe you can too. Me: I really don't think so

[@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 👀

[@juliustan9647]

Im an EE and i wont even do this haha great video for trying man. Hdmi are high speed ports so the pads and its surrounding components matters a lot, am surprised its the most common issue our beloved ps5 has.

[@ZombieLincoln666]

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

[@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.

[@TheHelpMaster]

The HDMI IC (The Panasonic one) could be faulty too

[@Stricz_editz]

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

@PhoneRepairGuru I've replaced probably close to 100 of these (near Toronto). There is definitely a better method to doing this but you didn't do too bad.

[@M.jackcat]

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 .🙂

[@AdrishBiswas]

Hey PRG, Didn't you say that your gonna upload a video of the Vision pro parts replacing? When will it get uploaded :) ?

[@MattRobloxYT1]

I wonder how you even fix it.

[@tlatarius]

Can you make a video showing where all the screws go? I think my ps5 has them in different places

[@f1aki]

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 :)

[@flameofmidnight5041]

Too bad that it didn't end up well bro , I know your feeling of losing some money on electronics that don't work because it happened to me several times, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose

[@ziadamr2793]

did you check if the light goes to white light if not then you have a probleme else where (southbridge or hdmi chip .....) try also resoldering each and every pin with the soldering iron and check for continuaty whit multimeter for each pin

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

You can if you know what your doing and have a hot air station but if you dont know what you are doing and are trying to do it to with a soldering iron youll have a bad time .. hot air is the only way to do a hdmi port or even analog stick swaps on the controllers

[@Charliefr3sh.]

I think this calls for a @Tronicsfix collab! Please make a collab to see if he can fix it

[@ejonesss]

i hope you did not hold a hot soldering iron like that because the entire metal body gets very hot about 800 degrees i think causing a potentially severe burn. if you need better control due to the length of the iron i think they make smaller soldering irons. another reason you may not want a display is because you dont know if some jailbreaking or mod kit may have changed the graphics to something so bad not only it is not safe for youtube but it is illegal and you could go to jail for it just for posessing it even to repair.

[@rimuru5942]

I did countless HDMI replacements on PS4s and they are not too difficult if you don't pull a pad or knock off a bunch of chips in disassembly. Just take your time and go slow. Try replacing them on cheaper / free board first lol

[@moadoubella2771]

Love your video Bro, 💓❤❤❤❤💕❤❤💓 happy to watch it

[@Holycurative9610]

HDMI port swaps are fairly easy to do and once the board is out should take a few minutes if you've had some practice. Not the easiest job for a noob but practice makes perfect and a hot air station is a must as PS5 boards suck up heat like nothing else.. Some sketchy sellers on ebay will break a port and then say "easy fix" but they know that something else is wrong with the board that they haven't been able to fix. I've seen a ton of Switch, PS4/5, Xbox consoles and more that have a simple repair that needs doing BUT many are unrepairable, APU or RAM issues, and the sellers know this. Ebay is a cesspit of scammers selling broken goods that are only fit for parts and the sellers know this but greed outweighs honesty every day of the week for people like this. Sad world.....
