Xbox Series S Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide to HDMI Port Replacement

I ended up with some bridged pins. Would it be best to remove it and start fresh clean and remove or could I fix it without starting over?

Use some flux and wick with your iron and it’ll suck right up into the wick then you can apply more if necessary.

It will definitely have the same pins, but it might not work, for example the hdmi on one xbox won’t work on another even though from the outside they look like they should. The distance they protrude up and out might be very different.

Think I may have burned the board tying to get the solder out. Any idea why the wick wouldnt pull it? I cut it and used plastic tweezers so it wouldnt heat the whole roll. Not coming out whatsoever. Got a super cheap soldering kit to the solder sucker is ass. Any tips would be appreciated I am 2/3rds of the way done.

[@FIXDPHONES]

The thermal mass of the logic board pulls heat away quickly. A decent soldering iron paired with good flux, wick and possibly some hot air from a rework station will be enough to keep that section of the board hot enough for long enough to remove all solder.(also adding some lower melting point solder and having it mix with the lead free factory solder will bring down the temperature the board needs to have the flux absorb all the solder)
