PS5 HDMI Replacement: Fixing HDMI Port Issues Like a Pro!(Teardown included)

[@irishgamer876]

I was thinking I could replace my broken PS5 HDMI port myself to, but after watching this I think I'm gonna send it into the shop instead 👀😂

[@erikemanuelsson1033]

[@chrollomorningstar9511]

Found one on FB marketplace for $50 and all I had to do was repair it. Now I’ve got a perfectly fine PS5, for $50, great video!

[@MrLasox]

That's amazing! I'm just started doing this my self after been watching TheCod3r and FIXD i Repair. Bhought 4 PS5 for $700. One of them have SU-101312-8 (there i just need to remove the ports for the hard drive and manipulate the BIOS) one another has HDMI broken port and one has the error about it's pips once randomly when i'm turning it on, and one PS5 i don't remember the error at the momemt. All of them should be very easily fix and could be selling them for $420 each. And if i just fix one of them i have basicly made almost all of my money back (for the repair system), and if im fixing three of them that's should be enough for everything. All of the errors should be easy fix, but did manage to break some of the pins for HDMI port so i'm looking up a video about how to fix that. Shouldn't be that hard when i have the equipments i need. If i'm fixing all of the 4 PS5 it could be about $1,680 that could be very easy extra income. But buying a PS5 for $50 that's insane, but we are most likely living in different country and there it's high income in Norway and it's very expensive to live here so almost everything costs more. I was feeling so happy when i was buying the first one for $150! Lol. That was like winning the bingo.

I'm taking a break right now. You're right, I'm trying to get the old one off but It's not wanting to budge. I will get it off eventually. (realized I hadn't sent comment yet) Ok, I just got it off. I think I'm going to take another break before I try to install the new one. lol

[@allenmitchell09]

I got it out but 1 leg was broke off in the hole. It took as long to get that last leg out as did the rest of the port. This has taken me all day, off and on. I think I'm going to call it a day and try to solder in the port tomorrow after work. I love tinkering with this type of stuff but it is tedious.

[@OdinTheGiant]

I hate how sony made the hdmi port so hard to get too

[@jar03280]

This is a great video for teardown, but it takes a lot of heat to pull that port off. The metal shell of that connector is soldered to a pretty heavy ground plane. I would recommend pulling apart the connector and removing the plastic piece first and desoldering the small pins. If you try to heat the whole connector and pull it off as one, you may rip some of the pads off on the fine pitch pins because it hard to get an even amount of heat on both side of the board. As you can see in the video the small pins on that plastic connector we’re already cracked so it came off pretty easy. If your small pins are still soldered to the board be very careful when pulling off the connector.

[@FIXDPHONES]

That is some great advise, Especially for someone who hasn't done it before.

[@crazysmokealot]

It's possible to take it as a whole port out. I do it everyday lol

[@FIXDPHONES]

If you are referring to the silver screw on the left on top of the disk drive then that’s the correct screw for this model. There’s one silver screw for that slot. All the rest at that point are black.

[@tecnicalk]

@@FIXDPHONES Are you sure? at 10:30 you put the silver screw in then after put the plastic shroud on the PS5 if you try put the black screw in near that hole near the disk drive you end up boring the screw. Also at 10:56 you time skipped and maybe didn't show you removing the silver screw I watched a few other videos on the same model and no one put a silver screw in the hole before putting on the plastic shroud.

I have not got into the newer gen consoles because of the liquid metal. I havent learned about it and it seems very different than thermal paste. Its mainly whats holding me back here an im not sure if i should be as worried as i am since i have done so many PS3 and PS4's

[@FIXDPHONES]

If that's the only thing holding you back then I say go for it. I find it much easier to work with in general.

liquid metal is tricky cuz it takes 40 minutes of spreading it around for it to finally start sticking

[@EJSx13]

As hot as you can get it. It helps to add lower melting point solder to the legs and pins so that any heat gun can do it. A really good rework station is recommended though.

Hello I just bought a ps5 and I have been plugging and replugging my ps5 to shift rooms here and there and I am worried about the hdmi port and the power port and don't want it to be damaged. Plz tell me if it really affects the ports if it's plugged in and out with care.

[@FIXDPHONES]

As long as it’s something that you are paying attention to you should be fine. If the cable gets tugged on especially in the wrong direction that’s when I’d be worried. Just make sure it’s plugged in and unplugged with care each time and you’ll be fine.
