Damaged PS5 HDMI Connector Port Repair. Wow This Looks Bad. Full Process

WOW, this Sony PS5 HDMI port is destroyed. So let's walk through the disassembly process & take the motherboard out, so we can fix the broken HDMI Port Connector.

This Sony PlayStation 5 was mailed in to us for HDMI Port repair because it had so signal & I was shocked to see how badly it was damaged.

Luckily, HDMI Port replacements are pretty straight forward repairs.

Follow along with the video to see the whole process.

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 👍🏼

Wish they put as much effort in to the durability of the HDMI port as they did into difficulty of breaking down the PS5 to fix it. I've had to replace 2 HDMI ports now, and it seems the disassemble and reassemble is the most difficult part of the process.

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.

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.

If you shove harder maybe the HDMI cable will go in! I love seeing how people break these ports. Jesse, I think I picked up using a syringe for IPA from you. Thanks. I also like your use of the bulb syringe for blowing off the boards.

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!

im trying to do my ps5 hdmi on my own nice video keep up the good work

[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!!

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

[ionutdarrio]

Same problem here i am very pised about this...

[calibud]

Good day my hdmi port got damage got it fix but the port keep coming off and I have to get it risada can u tell me what would have it to keep coming off

When determining which HDMI replacement port to purchase, do I need to favor in HDMI 2.1 support. I know the devices and cables are important, but do the sockets themselves vary across HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1?

[jaydenteague]

Hey! I’m looking for the exact hdmi port to put in my ps5. Is there a link to one? I believe it’s the hdmi 2.1 right? I hate to buy the wrong one and my ps5 not play up to it capabilities. Can you send a link if possible.

[topdog]

could that capacitor result in no image if it's blown?

[sirusthevirus]

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

[DaSoggyTurd]

Hi Jesse, great video! I'm trying to repair my Ps5 hdmi port and got it soldered. But, the video goes in and out and eventually works when I wiggle the hdmi cord in a specific spot. Does this sound like a faulty hdmi port or could my solder joints be bad? Thanks.

[KakaKamii]

Great vid man!! I have the same problem with my PS5, you know any shops that are legit and can fix it???

[MJTHEGENIUS]

If you replace the HDMI, will it have the same 4K picture as before or will it be lower quality ??
