Repair Shop BOTCHED This PlayStation 5 HDMI Port Repair! Can I Fix Their Mess?

[@mitchyk]

"I did it, you just sat there and watched". I laughed so hard at this. The look on your face and the tone of voice just made me laugh! lol

[@TheCod3r]

Haha I can be an idiot sometimes 😂 glad you found it funny though lol

[@SteveandFrankie_YT]

"i did it - you just sat there and watched" TheCod3r

[@TheCod3r]

Lol I couldn't resist 🤣

[@Corialtavi]

I like the fact you gave us temperatures for your equipment as you used them. I know sometimes its about personal preference but it really helps me as I tackle different jobs as a newby to surface mounts. I used to really struggle on making good solder joints on through hole for years until I realised I was too scared to crank the heat up. Would be great if you could work in to each of you vid's a quick note of what temps you are running different processes at from Iron to hot air. Cheers and subscribed.

[@Adrian_Finn]

These videos are far easier to watch now, more digestible. I'll be honest I used to see the videos at 4 odd hours long and skip them because they were too long for one sitting. loving the content now.

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks mate. Yeah the 4hr ones were replays from live streams bit dedicated videos I try to make around 15-30 mins usually

[@justinontube88]

I've learned bucket loads! Thanks so much for posting!

[@سيفالشايب-ح5ل]

Thanks again for your effort

[@Old_Man_Pete]

We didn't just sit there and watch... We sent positive vibes back to the past for when you actually started the repair lol

[@Classic80sFanboy]

I love how absolutely honest you are: "Random Crap" lol...love the vids.

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks mate much appreciated 👍

[@johnnybock7321]

You’re a goat dude. Some dude gave me a ps5 to fix and it’s horrendous. Thanks for the tips and tricks!

[@argee99]

Thanks for another educational video, Phil. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I wish this media was around when I was 50 years younger. You are really appreciated...

[@TheCod3r]

Thank you bud, yeah this information would've been useful to me too lol

[@stevetealey2804]

great job once again phil well done

[@TheCod3r]

Thank you bud 😀

[@RuggersCustoms]

Excellent video. Thanks Phil! 😎

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks buddy, you're welcome

[@brentsumner6548]

Hi Phil your videos are always honest, like everything in life if one is doing any kind of repairs on a customer's items one needs to be very thorough when it comes to diagnostics and repairs.

[@fredb1130]

Thank You.

[@MiguelAlvarezAdams]

Nice job man👌

[@jontait1095]

Great job as always. Love the videos

[@olcom]

Amazing job! Really enjoy it!!

[@_mylastname]

You just answered MY question about that microscopic Lil fkn capacitor in front of the header.. Thanks mate!! Greetings from USA

[@1000mjf]

we sat there and watched = I looked at it and fixed it

[@Mark1971-1]

Fantastic video as always Phil mate

[@TheCod3r]

Cheers mate much appreciated

[@virgildeklerk]

Nice fix again Phil, i really like the way you think and work. You are working the way all repair shops should do. Keep it up we all love to learn from you how it's supposed to be done properly and not like do do 😄

[@TheCod3r]

Thank you mate, I really appreciate it

[@NorthCamZ]

Good video for me to end the day on, thanks Phil

[@TheCod3r]

Thanks mate much appreciated

[@LRSS2455]

I've watched you fix multiple ports on multiple different systems. My question is what are people doing to their machines to damage these ports? I've never had a damaged port on anything I've ever owned (even iPhones). Maybe people in England likes to play rugby with their ports?

[@lee__1707]

Sorry can't answer you right now playing catch with my ps5....:) being serious for a moment i have never killed any device i have ever owned, i treat my stuff with respect because i worked hard to pay for it!.

[@mbob4337]

I've never broken my ports either like these. But my guess, is that these are happening. Because these people refuse to pull the console out of a cramped area. So they feel the wire. Than jam it in the wrong way multiple times. Eventually breaks.

[@TheCod3r]

It's mainly the fact people think they're indestructible and constantly moving them from room to room. That and transporting them with cables plugged in is a recipe for disaster

[@gamerX-wk7ct]

I've always wondered about that to I had my ps4 for 6 years and I took it to many hotels i work in the US that ps4 seen atleast 150 hotels in 5 years and never had a hdmi problem . my guess is spoiled kids that abuse things I would be surprised if someone spent hard earned cash on something then abused it 🤔 no I would not be surprised I just know I take care of my stuff and I believe that makes a difference

[@TheKrayusKorianis]

@@lee__1707 That's the real problem. Kids and certain Adults didn't pay for it, therefore they abuse it. I don't be rough with ANYTHING I myself have bought, nor what anyone has ever given me.

[@beogeek]

good job mate.

[@Davejazz]

Very good 👍 👏

[@adrianpearce5214]

Great job good video

[@rich35ukuk]

Anouther good fix mate really enjoyed the video bud

[@Daremo6969]

Good content, I found your channel from looking for a solution to a Switch BSOD I got from Ebay (was hoping it would be something simple) and found that information pretty interesting. I also learned that my eyesight is a lot worse than I thought. Felt like Sherlock Holmes holding a big magnifier.

[@loonytu1]

I hope these repair shops that screw up watch your videos so they can learn something

[@johnsabilla5897]

dang, you make it look easy

[@CiderPang27]

How did the other ‘repair shop’ expect the console to work with half the pins not being soldered? It’s beyond me how these places make a living.

[@TheCod3r]

Honestly I have no clue lol. The way of thinking of some people goes over my head lol

[@CiderPang27]

@@TheCod3r I repair phones, tablets etc. Even Nintendo switch it seems. I always repair to a standard which I would want my own tech repaired to. I have never taken anything to a repair shop ever because I don't think the job would be good enough. I taught myself way back when the first Nokias came out. If it doesn't work perfectly after repair it's not leaving the shop.

[@TheCod3r]

@@CiderPang27 I fully agree mate. I try to work to a standard I'd be satisfied with too. I try to lead by example and that way the people learning from me will hopefully pick up on my own standards and set the bar high

[@ScarbadosSlim]

Another great video, Phil. Watching and learning techniques from the likes of yourself, Vince, Northridge, etc I've learned absolutely loads. Your channel has something the others are completely lacking though. Being a guy who was born and brought up in Wednesbury but moved up to the Yorkshire coast, it's nice to hear a bostin accent from back home. Black Country ay we. 😂😂

[@TheCod3r]

Glad to be of help mate, nice to see local people (even if you did defect to the north lol). To be fair I lived in Doncaster for a while back in 2010 too, it was a shit hole 😂

[@pedromimoso8804]

What a real botched job it was before you practiced your magic! Great work, once again.

[@TheCod3r]

Thank you mate, yep the last guy to work on this was apparently a phone tech. He should probably stick to screens lol

[@TheCod3r]

Thank you mate, yep the last guy to work on this was apparently a phone tech. He should probably stick to screens lol

[@jrcogburn]

did you replace the hdmi capacitor? i didnt see it

[@RestorationRelaxation]

Thank you for the shoutout 😊

[@darkallyrecordings4931]

Lol. Anyone else find themselves rolling their head, stecthing, peeking like your gonna get a better angle?

[@Whiskey36]

Can any tell me what the 100pf capacitor on the back of the board by the hdmi port on a ps5 do and do u really need it

[@eathenalexander2836]

Great fix once again phil lol and this time in 4k

[@TheCod3r]

Haha yeah at least 4k is working this time 😁

[@jacobvanstraten4194]

Two things , a heater for your shed and another TV just for your connection with systems.

[@TheCod3r]

I've got 2 heaters but one died a few days ago lol. That TV is just for consoles but it's just super small in there so that's the only place I can put it lol

[@jacobvanstraten4194]

@TheCod3r , Message heater builders and review one!

[@dabomb356]

I’m quite confused on this particular repair because looking under microscope the little chip behind the HDMI port was missing how did you get signal without having to replace that chip

[@TheCod3r]

Could you tag the timestamp you're referring to? I'll try and figure out what it is but some boards will have placeholders for components which aren't ever populated. Sometimes pre planning for future changes

[@Aleem77fcc]

Bro you should make one of a kind videos like big creators You should make a clean setup and do something that any other creator does not do like some words for example tronics fix 'perfect amount of thermal paste ' this will help your channel a lot You make very useful content you should not be underrated

[@MatthewBekker]

Out of interest what brand flux do you use

[@TheCod3r]

I use Kingbo RMA-218 mate

[@timdog3104]

Blimey it like looking at a younger boris Johnson with that hair 😂😂

[@TheCod3r]

Haha hopefully I don't take after him 😅

[@HyperSin]

How is it playing video without the hdmi capacitor installed?

[@TheCod3r]

It's just a filter cap so it's not needed for proper functionality of the HDMI curcuit

[@HyperSin]

@TheCod3r oh i was told it was required for the hdmi to work 🤣 i gotta fix mine and sony said they wasn't going to

[@TheCod3r]

@HyperSin nah it's not needed, it may cause a little ripple on the 5v line but that won't hurt anything

[@HyperSin]

@TheCod3r ive ordered some already so i may aswell add it while its apart

[@HyperSin]

@TheCod3r ive done everything and i can't get video without the chip (not the best soilder person neither)

[@nigelholland24]

You didn't put no Conformal Coating on the HDMI port.

[@TheCod3r]

It's only really needed to protect against shorts but if there's only one jumper it isn't needed in my opinion

[@mattryan5630]

The cod3r I need your help to fix my ps5 someone ruined the pins under my hdmi

[@dominichi8089]

hi am fixed hdm port end microscen not signal.

[@jasonsandford2987]

Never in any doubt phil, even if you did it and we watched😝

[@TheCod3r]

Haha thanks mate. Can't believe how lazy y'all are 😂😂

[@electron0002]

I would of used tape to stop the components blowing away using the air gun.but I alway make shore I have a clean tip on my soldering iron. As I do work on amateur radio stuff.not the surface mounted component you do. Don’t think my eyes could cope with that

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah some people do but to be honest if you set your hot air up properly it shouldn't blow anything away. Around 40% air flow is usually fine 🙂

[@bigt3242]

the first one I could watch for a long time. All been to long lately .

[@BB-Gamaing]

He’s good at what he does. I would have him fix my systems if they brake again as I have not used them sense the last repair job as I am scared of my first attempt

[@TheCod3r]

Thank you mate, I appreciate the kind words 🤗

[@BB-Gamaing]

Your welcome Please keep up the great content as its always nice to see these consoles getting fixed ( even those others deamed unrepairable )

[@manny1164]

Just took mine to ubreakifix and they said they couldn’t fix smh

[@snowysnowwolf6228]

Was Phil actually the child renegade Macaulay Culkin ... could he tackle the badies with his low melt solder. Let's see ... or is he just full of hot air lol

[@TheCod3r]

Haha you got me 😂

[@snowysnowwolf6228]

You been watching the royal WE at Northridge Fix 😆

[@TheCod3r]

Lol definitely not 😂

[@johnmorgans7919]

65 screws later 😂😂

[@mauricio2915]

One advice for you , Your videos are very good but way too long ,cheers!

[@GazahSCD]

Wow, what an awful "repair". Did the customer not attempt it?

[@TheCod3r]

Not as far as I know mate, I think it was a phone repair shop

[@GazahSCD]

@@TheCod3r Did you receive it from someone local?

[@deimantasbaltrusaitis8688]

U already got 2donor boards? How da fuck ppl fuck up ps5 sooo fast ????even 1years not passed since they realised so all ps5 should be still underwaranty
