This is by far the best PS5 hdmi port replacement I've watched. Your method is very easy to follow and your attention to detail is excellent. I have the same repair to do and your video is very helpful.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thank you! Appreciate the support!

[@abdualrahmanmurshed1366]

In the beginning i said its just another common video similar to bulk videos on the youtube but while keep watching found its very helpful in different ways from others, appreciate sharing information specially the amount of heat that shall be applied by heat gun to remove soldering 👍🏼

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Wow thank you for watching all the way through. I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@tayloralan91]

I work on consoles full time from home. Great video and process; it's very similar to what I do. The tinning of the pins on the bottom side is something I'll have to do more often. I've never had any issues not doing it, but I can see how it makes things a little easier. Thanks for the video.

[@ToddLuvsGolf]

Great video on the repair. Love how you show the end-to-end process which helps newbies learn all required steps. I do have a question for you. Why not use a solder sucker (Sold-a-Pult) from the bottom of the board to remove solder from the anchors...then use air from the top for the individual connectors? I'm getting back into repairs after a couple decades away, and I did 100's of connector repairs like that years ago...before HDMI. Thanks in advance for the response!!

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thank you! And I don't use a solder sucker because I don't have one lol I don't do HDMI ports often and wick works well enough for me

[@ToddLuvsGolf]

@@VCCBoardRepairs Totally makes sense. Thanks for the quick response. When I have one to experiment with, I’ll let you know if it makes any difference.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Sounds good!

[@Vinnie2x]

Damn. Nice Video dude!! Removing the nozzel works great. I was afraid to overheaat the diode and cap on the bottom side. but it didnt take long. I was already using low melt solder. The wick action on the through holes is awesome. I used to get pissed and drill them out with a tiny bit. lol THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Yes, definitely need to remove the nozzle. These boards can soak up a lot of heat, so it makes it difficult for the solder to melt. You should check out my latest video, I show an ever better method to swap out the HDMI port: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpWtY2x_nZVkepI

[@RivenBake]

Hi do you possibly know what's wrong with my ps5 after I use it for about an hour or two it turns off and if won't turn back on unless I unplug both cables at the back wait a minute and plug them back in then it does it again like a hour or two later it's weird and I tried cleaning it so it's not that I did hoover the dust out.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Ah, not sure. I haven't seen that before unfortunately.

[@temeculaca7748]

17:24 how do you not heat up the small components on the other side of the board without them falling off, is their solder melting temp ALOT higher than the hdmi ports solder which you applied low melt to?

How do I check the HDMI chip? My HDMI port is new as of today and still no image. Also, Do we REALLY need that tiny cap for it to work?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

you can try probing all the pins around the encoder chip & see if any shorts. and technically, you don't need that cap but i always make sure it's there.

[@_mylastname]

@@VCCBoardRepairs thanks for the reply. I'll try that.. There's a MOSFET near the HDMI port too, that can go bad, but I'm not sure if I know how to test that properly..I think it's good... But I don't KNOW.. I'll learn more I guess.

How hot did you get your iron to melt off the solder for the legs? I've tinned my iron and added my flux and watched for the solderbto melt away but its nit melting

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

[@tigersdeth9748]

@@VCCBoardRepairs I'll watch your video and see if that works. From what I can tell and research is that the solder used on the board is a high temp solder. With my iron being at 480C it didn't do anything

Maybe you can help me out had my ps5 since 2020 no problems up to this point I keep it on usually for 4 plus hours mix of watching Netflix and playing games on it when I am not working. As of late every time I go to shut off ps5 once it gets to screen when it says ps5 is shutting down it blinks extremely quickly then comes back on and shuts down. Never did that before only time it does is if it’s on 4 plus hours ( not even everyday) Any idea what it is??? Just replaced original hdmi cable with new one still has same problem. Thanks

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Not sure, Never seen that before.

[@Rezonances]

There was a video elsewhere where someone used 138C solder paste on the whole assembly process, including the anchors. I'm curious how long that will hold up.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

It won't

[@KevinJacobsRepairTech]

14:16 I'm trying to find when you mention the temperature that the hot air station should be set at. Something as delicate as this should be rather precise, I assume. Too hot, and it melts the plastic. Too cold, and the solder won't melt.

Patience my friend. The temperatures are shown in the video

Can destroy the hdmi port the heat ? Because on some games ps5 crossplay, I see the cable connector is very hot ,,more than ps4 games or that is normal ? Please answer, thanks

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

unlikely

[@trilexfix]

The method for removing solder from the pin holes isn't a bad way to do it my only concern is you are putting more heat that normal on the board in that area I mean if you know it won't damage anything around it great but I don't think you can apply that method for every single repair that has through holes. Still great video also the low melt solder I have is kinda crap which is why I don't use it that much. Maybe I should give the iSoldering XW Low Temperature Welding Wire a try.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

As long as you don't apply more heat than necessary, I don't see anything being overheated

[@dustyV-y6z]

We’re over here struggling to remove the solder from the pin holes, we got the iron, the heat gun, etc…. Suckers won’t come out.

Doing this method doesn't burn out the plastic in the new port? I tried this once on a ps4 and burned the insides.

Man. Im having a horrible time with some torn pads. Im a hobbyist and a professional but i have all the gear. Its a broken one i replaced thats just not working. The system is booting fine but no video. I dont do this for a living but what's the best thing to use to fix the traces. I fix things for fun and im decent at it but im going to give it 2 more tries before it's a parts board. I enjoy smd. Theres no shorts on any rails. Im missing some screws though. Do you know any facsimiles i can use to reolace the black and short silver ones. I literally have every type of flux, solder, copper wire, a decent 4k scope. Should i invest in the sheets of copper strips? I have all the smd component parts and tested them but im missing a trace. Im almost 100 percent sure i know which one. Im not doing this for profit. Im giving away the system to a friend who cant afford a system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Ill even give you 20 as a thank you. I've reballed socs that never gave me this kind of trouble hahahaha. Like i said, i do this for fun. I dont take on jobs, im into theory for the most part. I know this has been long winded and im sorry. The cap value is 10nf says my flir lcr meter. I can give you the part numbers for all the smd parts so you dont have to pay a fortune for mostly common parts. The diode is a fast recovery swiching diode next to the 27k resistor and ill email you photos so you can know what to get for certain when you do an order haha. Anyway thanks. Youre a great technician.

Microsoldering is an advanced skill that requires hundreds of dollars of equipment & lots of hours of experience to successfully repair this.

can this be done without the microscope, by a guy with no soldering experience? lol. I've taken lots of consoles apart to replace thermal paste, clean the fans, heat sinks etc. but never soldered. I feel I won't mess up the screw placement, but is this an ok first project for learning soldering? lol

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

If it's your first time ever soldering, I wouldn't recommend it. You would need to get familiar on how solder behaves with heat. Also need to learn how to handle components when trying to solder & desolder them. You can easily pull too hard (due to lack of experience) and rip a ton of pads & destroy it. Buy a dead PS or Xbox console board & practice pulling & placing it a few times. I'm assuming you have a legit hot air station and not some wagner heat gun.. You can use my group to ask for additional guidance: www.vccboardrepairs.com/vcc-fb-group

Could be either. I'd double check the solder on each pin to see if they're loose. also try a new HDMI cable worst case, try another HDMI port
