Playstation 4 Prior Repair Attempt Nightmare - HDMI port replacement

The question is how the guy who tried to do this job didn't damaged all the solder joints after removing the hdmi port. A miracle.

[@RaviYadav-nx7ft]

no its a quality of the product.....

he had no flux !! its the only reason possible

[@PandaMan02]

@@RaviYadav-nx7ft you think its the product, when the customer clearly mangled the port's front pins?

[@drivejapan6293]

Ok between shipping and the cost of repair the customer could have just bought a used working one off eBay. Honestly though this is why I watch these videos. It's a train wreck and you can't look away. Entertainment at its finest.

Removing and cleaning those soldering mess is quite satisfying to watch. I Love your work and your channel. Thanks.

[@ogi22]

Thank you for this clip! :) It reminded me when i was learning/working in the computer service shop 20 years ago and i was exchanging LAN socket on the LAN card. With just normal soldering tips, no hot air, no wick to suck off that excess solder, no sweet jelly flux... just steady hands, quick touch and a strong prayer :D Damn, those were fun times :D

[@M0UAW_IO83]

I've seen a few boards like that where the through hole has been ripped out, if it's not going to interfere with the case or shield I add a piece of tinned copper wire through the hole(s) and loop it over the top of the socket then scrape a section of the ground plane clean to solder it to, I also solder the wire to the top of the socket so it acts like a strap.

[@yauker]

after watching newer videos of yours, maybe 20 hours worth- with no experience personally.. I have to say, it seems you've really improved in your skills immensely in the last couple years! Still great work, you're just way smoother in your techniques and camerawork, teaching and talking points.

Holy hell I need to order some of that wick now

[@gamezsolution2566]

I really would love to be your teacher kudos! I always learn from you even in things that i do at my workshop on daily basis like changing the ports sbridge and apu i always get to pick something from your vids Much appreciated from Nairobi,kenya E

[@gamezsolution2566]

I meamt student sorry for that

[@yoloswag4204lyfe]

Those blown black components in the circuit are diodes. The HDMI will not work if any one of them are not present.

[@woodiemarv]

Sony had some parts laying around and decided to put them on a ps4 board for no reason lol

[@dagg497]

You could have secured the two front legs of the hdmi port with epoxy applied with a syringe.. Or?

[@kmclasvegas6513]

He could, but I guess that's too much work.

[@gamesrusvideogames1688]

i'd like to see him do a pro job with the crappiest tools

[@daniel070487]

hdmi port wont be the biggest problem on this. those obvious burned and missing components aside. when you have that kinda savage holes (front holes on hdmi port) in a multi-layer pcb, it will most likely be shorted on any layer.

[@brendonmason5750]

Wonder how the layers in that board touching each other is going to work out when he goes to power it up...

[@ogi22]

@@gblargg Most probably you are right. If the pin/support leg of the port goes through the board, most likely all circuits around are ground connected.

[@udhayakumarCODEMASTER]

I like that 😄 "what the flower is going on here", cz I used to say this, U got one subscriber , for this 👌🏼

[@Biffo1262]

In a case like that where non-conductive pins cannot be soldered I use epoxy resin. OK it's harder to remove but it's also a hell of a lot harder to break too. I never leave them loose.

[@ELXT93]

I love ur soldiering iron sir

[@jonsnell4751]

When I get the ports ripped from the board and no where for the main lands to solder to, I use a copper washer to bridge the gap.

[@Stillsz75]

I'm using that from now on.... what the flower.....🤣 love you man. Great man

[@justinspiredfallout]

WTH? Did they drill it out? :O

[@hove131]

How in the world did they make those mounting holes so large? Unbelievable. I'm shocked this board had all it's pads still.

[@zxrjimmy1]

A messy one , good work 👍

[@snyper7979]

That PCB looks like a MOAB bomb was dropped on it. WTF was the owner thinking, "Let's carpet bomb the board". "Sounds like a good idea to me, hold my beer." Wow, good luck on that repair.

[@enteranon3342]

Desolder the Holes with a drill nice Work:)

[@steyns82]

Why don't you remove some solder mask next to those holes where the the legs of the hdmi connecter should fit and make some bridges in solder or pieces of solder wick soaked in solder to fixate the connector even stronger to the PCB?

[@ayoubbekhouch6039]

Good work we still learning from ur experiences bro 👍👍👍

[@M.altarhoni2024]

he secured the pads so they not fly away :) good job

[@tobiasstergren9092]

You should have cont'd tested that bypass cap... if it was shorted, it could've overloaded (or worse, taken down) a voltage rail. Also, I would've put in glue or epoxy in the mounting holes for the HDMI connector, just for extra strain-relief for the solder pads.

[@Backup_Jack]

How much would it be to replace a 2009 macbook pro battery? Just a question.

[@younespl8762]

Beautifully done 👍🏼

[@melplishka5978]

Instances like this how about some hot glue too help with support on the connector ?.

[@makarandrikibe3136]

Excellent work it was almost impossible but you done it very well miracle

[@TonyHdd1]

Extraordinary work!! The cleanest ever !! Whats the temperature of your soldering iron ??

[@LabArlyn]

900° C

[@octavioroldanramirez51]

In this case you can put the green resin in the holes to fill them and glue those supports, it hurts that I come a year later

[@scottmiller3025]

As a soldering noob I managed to replace USB charging port similar to that using heatgun but I guess I was lucky and didn't burn a big hole on the board

[@czerwonyslajm2451]

0:52 ther was a broker capasitor and i didnt noticed you replace it and i don't know if it is going to work with it

[@tobiasstergren9092]

He mentions this at the end of the video. But to determine whether it needed replacing or not, you would have to cont. test it, to see if it was open or shorted.

[@Thefinaldoom]

Why didn't you secure the connector with some kind of epoxy glue?

if theres one thing ive learned in 10~ years of electronics repair is that consoles are almost always a nightmare to diagnose and repair.

Not every job is easy - and this one prooves it - the customer or whoever did this soldering - needs to learn how to do it plus have the right equipment

Hi. Engineer, I had a question. How can I find a schematic of an electronic SMD board on the Internet? For example dvd player marshal portable model ME-118KII. Thank you for your reply.

[@KrotowX]

The person who tried to solder the port, certainly had no clue about flux. And probably used some utility soldering iron from granddad's shed. I'm more curious about how board was damaged at first place? Someone drunk and with too strong hands? Or board was damaged when PS4 got stolen in rush during home invasion?

[@bar10005]

IMO it looks more like they couldn't desolder shield pins and decided to drill out the front ones.

[@TheKrillmeisterswe]

I'm a novice when it comes to soldering, but replacing an HDMI port is something that even i am able to do. How can you screw something like this up so bad from the beginning?

[@sarahwreisner8718]

[@TechProNZ]

Hi, big fan of your videos keep up the good work! Just curious, how many watts is the soldering iron you're using in this video?

[@Diebog]

I don’t understand how people try this themselves and don’t stop they just keep going while burning everything on the board. Takes allot of heat to melt those other components. I can’t imagine this was a shop related job. Judging by the film on the top it looks like they used flux for copper pipe soldering and a solder iron to weak to do the job. It’s funny because You tell people what flux to use and solder in your videos, I do t get how people get into so much trouble. Lol

[@crazycraigy01]

I would ask the customer, whos been trying to solder with a HOT CHISEL...🤦

is it advisable to use Hot Glue to secure the port?

[@gastongl404]

i think as long the component doesn't gets hot its fine since Hot Glue is a little felxible ,otherwise use epoxy,but dont cover any components
