Thank you for this very clean, easy demonstration on how to replace the hdmi port. You explained each step clearly and hassle free. There are thousands of videos available on how to do this but yours is by far, one of the best examples. For anyone watching, please be sure to use a good quality flux and solder which will give you a solid, clean and reliable result.

[@TweakTips]

Thanks Steve, really appreciate it

[@joshuaturpen8866]

This video actually helped me a lot when I was struggling. Now repairing HDMI ports like a pro, thanks to you

[@mindE10101]

Hi. I watched this video 3 times before attempting to change the HDMI port in my nephew's Xbox. I just wanted to say, thank you, and I think I invented an even easier version of your method. I got the old port off and then I could not for the life of me get any of the old solder out of the leg holes. I didn't have your fancy desoldering gun but I did have the plastic one and it didn't do a darn thing. So this is what I did instead. With the board facing up, I put a drop of leaded solder onto each of the 4 leg points, then I pointed my heat gun at the area until I saw them start to melt(a few seconds) then I carefully pushed the new port into place with my other hand(and tweasers). I made sure the pins all looked aligned and Then I turned off the heat gun. That's it. The old solder hardened almost instantly and it all looks just as good as new. No mess. Painless. Took half the time as your method. But thank you for the guidance! I couldn't have done it without this video. I tested the Xbox after and it works like new. I'm so proud!

[@TweakTips]

Excellent, and nice method.. just be really careful to not put too much pressure on the pads when inserting the replacement port when doing this - as the pads are warm (from the melted solder) it might damage them

man after buying un leaded solder, a soldering iron, heatgun, copper braid, copper flux (didnt do my research very well), and then buying proper flux later, waiting for half the stuff to come in the mail. I find your video. I managed to get off the broken port and almost got the new port back in but I didnt remove any of the old solder (from watching other videos i tried just the heatgun method with no success) Im going to give it another attempt tomorrow with this great info

[@TOleablemonk]

​ @TweakTips I've been soldering all sorts of electronics for over forty years, including modern stuff, but still picked up a few tips. Thank you for this! It's an excellent primer as well as a guide to the Xbox in particular which I don't work on very much. I really appreciate you letting us know which solder station settings you use, most videos just seem to assume that.

[@TweakTips]

Thanks Andy, really appreciate that.. it is comments like yours that make it all worth while - thank you

[@ozzy3512]

For the record on a port that’s split...try using a small pair of pliers and reconnect the bottom tabs that way you don’t have to do all this stuff.

[@ozzy3512]

Squeeze it back together and your done....

Good tip as long as the pins are not damaged it should be good

[@chase_wrustle_hunt8497]

Father of 4 here, followed each step, first bought a decent soldering gun, then a heat gun and followed all the steps to the point I need a de-soldering gun. I don't care about the price, I just want a good one to finish this job. Please point me in the right direction...Many thanks from Boston.

[@TweakTips]

Hi Chase - thanks for the comment, and great to hear you are giving the repair a try yourself. Here is a link to the desoldering gun I have used personally myself and it has powerful suction, what is nice about this model is the pump is separate from the gun which means it can be larger and in turn more powerful - amzn.to/3nVQKwV If you prefer a cheaper option, you can just try to use desoldering wick and a manual desolder pump - amzn.to/37bWjBB with this you will be able to place the copper wick over the pads and heat with your soldering iron and it will remove most of the solder (without the need for the desoldering gun). Key for the desolder wick is to use lots of flux so the solder is pulled onto the wick. Hope that helps.

[@petermcl13]

Success! I followed your instructions and now have a working HDMI port. Your reassembly video was also very useful. Thanks

[@TweakTips]

Thanks Charlie - Glad your xbox is working again

[@darkrider318]

Excellent job, the only addition to the method shown would be to use IPA in between using the irons and gun. This cleans the excess flux (as most are rosin based) to keep the area clean. Since there is small components near the pad areas and using a heat gun; kapton tape is inexpensive and a huge repair tool when soldering surface mount areas. You remind me of manufacturing techniques on repair stations. GREAT JOB!

[@johnnyangnatuk6731]

"Just gonna add alot of soda"

[@TweakTips]

Haha

[@DaveGTR11]

Actually, while this method obviously worked, it made it harder than it has to be. I suggest buying some solder wick. It’s a copper braid with flux built in. Start from the back side (opposite side of the port) lay the wick across the solder points and heat it with the iron, the heat will pull the solder into the wick and allow the ports legs to be pulled out from the other side. Solder wick is a solderer best friend. Do not over heat the printed circuit board as it can damage other components as well as weaken the board. Good luck!

Thank you so much! This helped, I had a donor Xbox one board and practiced on it and removed and reinstalled the hdmi port on it, only problem I’m having is I only have the desolder pump and not the gun you have so it took me like 40 minutes trying to remove the solder on the holes where the port goes in, I got 3 of them out easily with the pump but the last one just wouldn’t come out so I had to try a different solution. I’m trying to buy an Xbox One S with a broken HDMI port and see if I can fix following this guide again, this amazing video just got you another sub!! 😄

[@TweakTips]

@@johny1220 It is tricky for sure - my top tip is a thin soldering iron tip, on a soldering iron which is at least 100w. Typically the thinner the tip, the less heat it holds, so it is better to have a higher wattage soldering iron when using a thin tip. Also, always add lots of flux when using a thicker tip and this will help to stop the bridges

[@70snowman]

I plan on attempting this...starting to tinker more and more. Do the small pins already have solder on the new HDMI port? Or do I need to introduce a small amount of solder with a fine tip? I feel like yours stuck so easily to the motherboard pads 🤣

[@TweakTips]

Hi - Great to hear you are tinkering.. that's how I got started as few year back. It is best to add a little solder to the legs of the new HDMI port before installing - this will always help. Just try not to add too much so you do not get any solder bridges.

[@chrisbordelon2259]

Thank you for the video. I do have one question though. What temp should my soldering iron hit in order to loosen the solder on the legs of the hdmi port?

[@TweakTips]

Hi Chris - I usually have my soldering iron set at around 450 which seems to do the trick

[@BRAND0N...]

Really good question 🙋

[@OwenFilmsChannel]

Great vid. Thanks man. When you solder to the pads on the motherboard do you have to use an EXTRA thin soldering attachment to avoid the little wires melting together??? I'm worried mine isn't thin enough! @booeam tech

[@TweakTips]

Thanks Owen - yes, it is best to. really depends on how thick your soldering iron is. You might be able to get away with using a thick iron, just make sure not to bridge the legs

It is actually really easy! After you get the old port off, as shown in this video, don't even worry about removing all the old solder, it seemed impossible for me, so I just put a drop of leaded solder onto each mount point, let it cool, heat up the area with the heat gun for a few seconds until you see the solder melt again, then with your tweasers holding the new port in your other hand, gently lower it down into it's position and press into place carefully, making sure the pins are aligned and it looks fairly level in comparison to the port next to it. Hold it in place and turn off the heat gun and you're literally done. No cleaning up or trying to suck up messy solder. No fancy equipment or desoldering mechanism needed. You can do it!

It certainly can be tricky.. I struggle sometimes too. I have found that, as long as you have the board on a flat surface, press the iron with more pressure on the wick (without moving it!!) can help draw up the solder to the wick... just do NOT move the soldering iron if you are putting more pressure on the wick.
