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.

What did you use for flux?

[@landonanderson6143]

Do you have to solder each individual connection point to the circuit board?

Yes, and they can’t touch the one next to them. Solder likes to bridge across the pins and if that happens it will need to be fixed as I demonstrate in the video.

the foam bumper is only there to provide support along the edge so you do not put too much pressure on that edge of the board and possibly crack the board. its not necessary for the console to function.

[@VeryCuul]

What is the long copper thing you put on the pads (and put the soldering iron against) to clear the pad.

[@stevensims7687]

How do you get the soldered to not cross all the pins

[@FIXDPHONES]

It’s ok if they cross all the pins. Flux a clean tip and the right temp will allow for this without bridging

[@FinFamilyFun]

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)

Be very careful buying and read descriptions very well, I accidentally bought the wrong one twice. But ima tell ya this hdmi port replacement isn't an easy one it's a bit tricky and ya really should have some solid experience prior to attempting this replacement...and especially if you've got any broken pads...I've got about 3 years soldering experience and have done lots of hdmi port replacements and I've got a the tools but this particular repair is just very difficult..least from my personal experience and I guess mine is a bit more difficult cus I've got like 3 pads I'm trying to repair as well in order to place the new hdmi port on.

[@Brandon-du9xz]

What keeps the solder from sticking to all the tiny pins at once? It just stays right on each little individual pin

You apply a lot of special flux
