Your face when you saw the board was just the funniest....fingers tapping on the desk...brilliant.
it couldn't be different don't you think? 😄
Yep, I agree 😁
7:44 Big boss backing off after turning the console on 😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
Pin one is solid, pin two is solid, all pins are solid. I see no problems... 🤔😜
😂😂😂
😀😀Ya all pins solid
Actually, only *one* pin is solid
The jumper wire looked decent too.....
Everything is good
Ok this has to be a meme, the customer was skilled enough to install a jumper wire so they definitely know how a port should be soldered on 🤣
I'm pretty sure these were the remains of the torn trace.
Maybe they didn't have a hot enough soldering station 😂
I think the one who repaired that is from a welder shop. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂You may say that again. The advice was we need must practice on dead motherboards but I think are not good students
me too
lol 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Not the first time I've seen this type of repair attempt, but man, I love your reaction and look of amusement into thr camera 😆. Well done!
not gonna lie i was extremely impressed by how professional you are adding solder mask to the wire. its really the little things that separate you from the rest
it's not solder mask it's just uv glue to prevent it from moving and breaking or shorting something else
0:15 Your face had me dying 🤣
I laugh with voice. My girlfriend asked me what's going on and why I am laughing so loud :D I am a newbie in microsoldering but when I saw this "all in one" solution it was really funny :D
IDK why, but your videos are addictive...

The person who tried to fix this, don't quit your day job.
Quit your day job. Try harder.
This was his day job, no one said he was any good at it!
Hope he was watching
Maybe dont pick something so intricate as your first solder attempt. Keep practicing.
That's what happened to me when i first started soldering, i used a cheap flux with a big conical tip soldering iron and the result was always a bridge like this one :)
So a good flux and the right tip size play a big difference when doing micro soldering
The prior fix looks like they did a really good job!
I like your facial expression the moment you see how the hdmi pins soldered into the board (with tapping on the table )😁😁
A nice repair. I was wondering for a while if the board was going to work because of its other issues. For certain boards I'm wondering if it would be helpful to have a picture of a "known good" board for reference purposes. That way you could refer to the picture if you suspect that a component is missing on a board that you are working on. Thanks for the video.
lol, I am very proud of you for not going on a raging rant about the single solder joint. The silent smirk made me laugh. You were very professional. Two thumbs up. Thanks for the video.
I am having issues with new solder equipment. I get similar results as what came into your shop. I am new at micro soldering as a hobby and am practicing on scrap boards. You make it look so easy when you get solder on the tip of iron and roll the glob over the pads. You mentioned when the tip is bad, the solder won't stick to the tip and runs away from the tip. I thought it was because the iron was too hot. I have barely used any of these tips and now wondering if I ruined them by getting them too hot... I am going to keep practicing.
Nice work. I find that using too much flux on these though is problematic as the residue often seeps back into the inside of the port causing the hdmi signal to not be recognized again. Cleaning it with alcohol just dilutes it and make sit seep into the port faster. I use less flux now and wipe what's left off with a dry q-tip. Works well!
The look on your face while you were thinking of something nice to say... Good job!
As ur Tutorial on recovery using Donor Harddisk ...removing Bios Chip nd swap the Bios that was work for me.in that Harddisk so much precious Data.Thanks for tutorial Coz only ur tutorial was Perfectly nd very cleanly Shows that What to do if we have Same Donor Harddisk.
Thanks #NorthridgeFix
I thought he is really looking at me and smiling lol😂😂😂
I never get bored of your videos 👍🏼
“HDMI installed correctly”. Sure pretty solid😄😄
That look on your face when you see that they welded the hdmi on the board. 😂At least it won't go anywhere right 😂😂😂😂
He need practice I agree. And yes, you are missing some components on the other side. You are missing a capacitor near the diode. I can desolder one and give you the correct value if you need that. Great wok as usual. Keep up the good work!
DUDE THIS WAS VERY FUNNY , You really get some crazy repairs there xD
Keep up the good work!
I saw this thumbnail and fell out of my chair 😂🤣
I like your work. Even though I live in Bangladesh, I think once I go to your shop and meet you, go ahead.love you bro
that is not soldering that is called Welding normally seen on steel structures : )😁😁
I do enjoy watching your video's. Brightens up the day.
Great work man...looking foward to see more
You are really perfectly successful at this works. Thanks for sharing. İ'm learning many things in this kind of videos. Wish 2 c u soon. Good luck.
I'm a novice but that looked like a good job, good solid connection.
Those facial expressions at 0:15 made me laugh 😂
I'm always love it everything that you'r done sir, thank you for knowledge and entertaining
your face is priceless when you seen that solder job/massacre
Although my soldering skills are better then the person who attempted to repair that board initially, I myself have totally ruined a PS4 board doing a bad HDMI repair. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of "low melt" solder and watched other TH-camr repairers (guessing also not aware of low melt solder?) putting the board in an oven for a brief amount of time to heat the board up. Also confusing messages from other repairers saying that "heat" destroys boards so low heat and build up the temperature... Well - on the 3rd attempt of trying to align the HDMI connecter and basically getting it right on that attempt - unfortunately the pads started to lift and many got destroyed. Its currently sat under my desk waiting for me to either throw the PS4 away, or build up courage to try again and attempt to fix the missing traces. I have also messed up an XBox One HDMI re-timer chip which I tried to repair around the same time so many of the same bad techniques were used. Never had experience with a QFN chip before and it threw me a curve ball... trying to align that up again on a heat sulking ground plate board was a nightmare. Again, oven came into use - but proved useless. Many tracks for the re-timer chip lifted. I've learnt my lesson - no oven, and low melt solder, & high heat (short amount of time).
This mans soldering station is A1
Good colleague, I came to the workshop with a similar problem, but with all the tracks skipped. I could make a schematic to know where to solder each pin. Thank you in advance.

It looks like the customer has used a 1 inch wide tip on his port.
Haha!
You are so good in your business. I wished to be a part of it.
Awesome work !!! neat, clean and perfect
I'm following you from Iraq and I try to learn from you i like your work it's cool and clean
Hha haa job is done and its work
When he completes work and laughs as he its get stisfied by his work. I dnt have such technician near me.
Love feom kerala india 🥰🥰
All the pins are making good connection
Alex's face at 0:16... so golden... I guess this person went to welding school instead :)
I watch your vids always. You inspire me 🙂
Amazing soldering skills!! Great videos
The Customer build one wire connection 🤣🤣
This dude welded the HDMI port omg
Nope. Welding is an entirely different process. It was just horrible soldering..
You're the Picasso of electronic repair.
The "wire" seemed to be the actual track who was lifted clean off the board :D
Loved your face upon the reveal. lol....
The person apparently thought solder was like glue...just stick it and the contacts will work.
This isn't what you could call gone wrong , it's called gone south.
I'm surprised it worked afterwards with the bottom side looking like components were missing.
Your smile when you see this solder bloob :D
Hi boss lots of love from Windsor Ontario
hahahah I almost lost it when you showed all the pins together.
Amazing job as always!
On the one hand I'm like... "good for you to have a go at fixing something yourself" but on the other hand I'm like "Oh jeez, what a cluster f#ck"...
ARGH!! People, PLEASE! If you don't know what you are doing........ DON'T MESS WITH IT!!! Find a pro like Alex....

Excelentes vídeos amigos, eres un crack 👍🏼💪🏽👌🏼
CAUTION........There are small components on the motherboard near where the hdmi socket is mounted, particularly on the underside....These can be loosed, fall off or became damaged by hot air, when removing or replacing the socket..☹
Best cover all the relevant components in that area with Alfoil or some form of heat shielding.😀.
Beautiful pice of work
Love from india lovely and clean work
If his goal was to destroy this board, he did an excellent job.
I'd say he failed of that was the goal.
Whoever soldered that must be a welder by trade :D
i think person who tried to repair that connector has never made any solder before and has no idea about how a circuit board working.i recommend practice on some old no need boards like old PC motherborards remove caps,mosfets etc and resolder them on place.use weller or Elsa equal 80 watts soldering station and hot Air gun,amtech flux and good quality wick and low melt soldering wire sn67pb 33 if you don't have theese eqipments you can't repair any factory smd mounted motherboard.practice on old ADSL modem boards or PC graphic cards old PCI modem cards etc.after that you can remove hdmı port on your PlayStation
So the bits that were missing weren't needed?
I watch all your videos... What abu the missing components..?
back in school i was told, always put enough salt and pepper or your food is crap. works with almost everything :)
"you need practice" Just lost my shit!
What about missing components..?
maybe those were capacitors
Put a smile on your face
Is there a specific reason you're not using a desoldering tool (like Hakko FR 300) but solder wick instead? In understand that there're situations where a desoldering tool wouldn't work but in this case here it should work!?
At the end you haven't replaced the missing component too..am i wrong ? Regards A.
i like Watching your beautiful video i am from morocco have a good day sir and have a good life for you and your family God bless you 🙌🖒💟❤
How about the missing components you mentionned..?
I think the main reason behind these miserable repair failures is that people don’t understand the micro scale of these components
Incredible...
You think the person that tried to fix it thought they were welding and not soldering. There was some fat dimes in there.
OK, but what about the missing components? After fixing the connector I was expecting to a big fail when Big Boss was trying out the device...
the missing parts look like filter caps for power on the connector, and some protection diode, all parts which you can remove and still have functioning (just more likely to break something more important in the device in the future if not replaced)
Wow you always get the easy ones I be getting boards ripped in half and I missing all the pads
Am I using the wrong rosin? I have my iron set to 860 and I have never had solder wick away that easy. If it wicked that easy, I'd be so much better at *one more thing*. I'm really new to this, I might have crappy equipment.
Question for you, I bought a iPhone XS Max from a friends for $40 that had the back glass and front screen broken. I repaired it to give me something new to do but I tested the camera and it looks foggy. I tried cleaning it and blowing compressed air into camera lens and cleaning the glass lens as well. Any advise?
0:15 I imagine the laughter
Even though i'm not good with soldering, i'm most certainly way better at soldering than that person that did that sweet blob making multiple pins into one. Wow :D
Could you please tell me, what are the liquids that you used?
Actually i am going to do the same job. I have soldering grease and soldering tin.
A few years ago i bought a cuch 1xxx with a damaged hdmi port. Back then i thought i can repair it. Well, that was the case, but it didn't work afterwards. The hdmi chip was broken too. So i also bought an hdmi chip and like at the beginning i thought again, i will manage that too.
Well, again, that was the case. BUT..., after installing the new firmware and put the Uncharted 4 disc into, i got that stupid CE-35888-2 message. Someone has swapped the whole drive including the circuit board. What a bad luck, the device is completely useless.
What's the mic? I really like it! NICE VIDEO
I think people forget that pcb tracks have some purpose! LOL
Is there a way to test the HDMI port with a multimeter to verify if that is indeed the issue?? I have a client that isn't getting picture but I wanna be certain before I just go replacing parts.
Hello i have a question, what are you using to izolate the bridge made wit a wire between HDMI port and the tranzistor? i wait for an answer. BRGDS
What type and size wire are you using for your jumper wires? Are they insulated or just plain copper?
What the hell???? Whats going on here? They way you look😂😂 Its really funny what you get at the shop. And i bet you see much more crazy things everyday. I bet this person used a leadfree solder. But you fixed it perfectly👍
So are all those missing components aren’t necessary?
Could you explain about what you are doing at 4:12 at with what substance and light?
I thought they WELD the hdmi port to the board to make a strong connection
