    When I saw how tiny the area really was at the end, you called it a mess but I call it a masterpiece. It all looks so big on the close up I forget that it's zoomed in that far. Amazing work, I hope the customer was happy and it functioned again.

    Ask the customer to take a picture and send it to you before the quote if they can. If not or they refuse, charge extra. This is the 21'st century. If they can text their Boss to have a sick day, they can send you over a photo of the damage! Anyway, full respect to you for finishing this abomination of a home repair.

      I tried such repair only with heat gun I said there Is no way I will fix it cause I dont have even microsoldering station I have very stable hands etc but still no equipment well my point is if I fixed it I would have workin console for 15$ the cost of the heat gun if not then I go to ps5 well I messed up and I lost even one of the capacitors in the board next to hdmi but I cant imagine how a guy can rip soldering pads I work with phone repairs etc and never encountered broken pads he did good job on breaking them

    On the PS4 I see repair shops do this all the on hdmi port repair, even experienced people that do microsoldering. The reason is the very thick ground plane and thick multi layer board. Trick is you have to use a preheater under and then hot air the top side and hdmi port will come out without lifting traces.

    I just repaired a PS4, I'm not a professional, but do electronics as a hobby (have decent microscope etc), was given it by a friend who has bought a replacement, just to have a play. Every single pad was ripped off. I basically did what you did for every pin, but only bothered with the pin 2 ground, leaving 5, 8, 11 and 17 not connected.
    I've checked with a cut hdmi cord that every pin is connected as it should be (pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19) and that they are not shorting against each other etc.
    The PS4 now works fine, had it on for hours, picture is 100% fine.
    However, I have a Sony TV with 4 HDMI ports and my sky box plugged in. I have the HDMI control turned on on the sky box and usually if I press a button on my sky remote, it turns on both the Sky box and the TV. But when the PS4 hdmi is plugged in, regardless of whether it's on or not, turning on my Sky box doesn't automatically turn on the TV (or change input device), as soon as I unplug the PS4 HDMI the tv works as expected. Any ideas what's missing/wrong please?
    It makes no difference whether I enable or disable the PS4 "Enable HDMI device link"

    I know its a much older video, it came up as a recommended video to watch - did this work? Did you get feedback from the customer to say if it was successful or not it looked like a bit of a hard fix - and very impressed if it did work

    Паять умеете (ещё бы с таким то оборудованием), но так запутать дорожки в коротком обрыве это надо ещё постараться, даже у меня с моим дерьмовым инструментом получилось бы лучше, а вообще молодцы что взялись и сделали по факту главное результат)) 👍

    Thing that most people who are new to soldering don't understand. Is how big of a difference a good soldering iron makes. It actually can be a little bit of a trap really for the inexperienced because most of the motivation I think is from wanting to save money by doing the work yourself. Parts are a few cents soldering iron is like 6 bucks and the guy in the video stuck the part on in like 2 seconds how hard could it be? Unfortunately what isn't obvious is that that the radio shack special soldering iron is only really good for soldering wires together and more often than not will end up destroying the circuit board your working on. When it comes to soldering the right tools and supplies make a massive difference.

      Also I would like to add skills are important as well but the right tools give you a fighting chance to get the skills.

    Practice. Practice. Practice. I have a nintendo switch that needs a new usb port. I am going to do it myself but first I have a bunch of old boards I pracrice removing and reinstalling stuff on. Once I get good at that then I will attempt the repair. Like you always say. It looks easier than it is.

    Hi there and THANKS for the video!! You have inspired me to do the same because I got a free tv that the HDMI was kinda ripped out so there was about 5 good pads out of 19. So decided to order an HDMI connector and .34awg magnet wire. I got the same tip as you do but I wonder at what temperature do you have it on?? On the video your soldering of this very thin looks so easy to solder on, for me it takes time to be able to solder the wire to a pad or a place that I have scratched to solder on. Any advice on temperature and to make this thin wire solder on pads and scratched self made pad. THANKS!!!

      The ground pins are your reference zero voltage pins for the signal voltages. Without the ground pins connected it won’t work properly. Ground also serves as a return path for the electrons

    I need to do this on my Xbox series x, because during a simple HDMI port replace(I bought a broken console), the heat got too extreme and obliterated the wires on the board..I don't even know if I can fix it, but seeing you pull this off gives me hope.
