I sent my PS4 to a electronic repair shop to fix this issue and when I got it back it would turn off by itself after 20 minutes of use, gave it back to them and it's been almost two months and they still haven't fixed it, and they haven't contacted me in 2 WEEKS, what could they have fucked up to cause all this mess? Is there anything near the hdmi port that pertains to this? Another company said they could run a diagnostic check but advise me that I shouldn't pay a dime to the original shop. What do you think?
+Joshua Muriel did it give you any overheating warning?? Could be a simple thermal paste issue... imo you should be refunded or your console should be replaced.
I need some help with this: When you were "desoldering" the HDMI port, how far did you leave the hot-air gun from the HDMI port? I would very much appreciate it and thanks in advance!
Hello, I have a doubt, my ps4 when it lights presents the PlayStation logo does not return to give video and is left with the light in white. I want to know if it is HDMI Video Output IC MN86471A Chip for Playstation 4 that needs to replace or only the HDMI port.
Good Video. How many have you done and got it to work.. would you consider fixing mine? My PS4 won't turn on if it's plugged in with a HDMI Cord. I have to keep the HDMI Cord unplugged for my PS4 to turn on. Then I'll plug the HDMI Cord back in and it works... is the HDMI port the problem? I tested 2 different HDMI Cords.
I have the Destiny special edition white ps4 that came with destiny's release, anybody know if the hdmi port is different than the others, and where the best place to get one would be?
Can I contact you about my broken PS4? I don't have the tools or the experience necessary to perform this repair. My son plugged the USB charging cable from the PS4 into the wall directly which shocked the PlayStation and turned it off. When I turned it back on I get no signal and a solid white light after a flashing blue light. I can connect my controller using Bluetooth NO CHORD and actually hold the ps button and enter rest mode by pressing (x, left on Dpad, x) and the PS4 powers to he orange light in rest mode so I am getting functionality from the system. YET I get no sound from headphones plugged into the controller when I move around what would be the home screen. I am hoping this is a capacitor or bs hdmi port not the motherboard or whatever and someone can fix it for me? :0
So i got my HDMI port replaced by a computer/electronic fix store and got it back yesterday. Since then my PS4 controllers have had trouble connecting and staying connected to the ps4, they also lag a bit. sometimes it works for a minute or two well, but then everything stops responding and then tries to catch up with analog stick movements. The controllers also turn off and then i cant reconnect them to the console without them being plugged in by the usb cord. Is there anything around the area of the HDMI port that the shop could have screwed up to make this happen? or do you think it could be a different issue... i spent just over 100 dollars fixing it and everything except the hdmi port seemed to be working before i sent it in..
I have done plenty of these repairs and never have ran into that issue, the radio comunication chip is located on the left side of the back of the motherboard, the hdmi is on the right. Are you expierencing issues with wifi as well? I wonder if it could just be the antenna cable is plugged in properly or if at all.

outstanding video sir,I am an electrical engineering student and decided to attempt this repait for my brother. one question, where did you purchase the holding stand for your hot air wand?
hey i love the video man could you list all the tools you used for cleaning and soldering, and can i use a blow dryer instead? Like this will help alot , people are crazy chargin me 140 bucks just to fix this.
Hi David, Thank you for this video! I am about to fix a HDMI port on a Laptop Motherboard using your method, however, where the pins need to be soldered 9:50, how does the solder just stick to each single pin contact perfectly why don't the globs of solder don't clump or short two or three pins together? Is it because you put flux over the area? Thank you in advance. Again awesome video!
David... If I send my PS4 to Sony, do you think they will repair it? I would've done it, but until you showed that heat gun thing, I had everything to do it. Thanks If you answer :) By the way, what a great video! Great quality and well explained... keep it up.
Appreciate the vid! 2 questions: When you were applying the solder to the pins it seemed like you put a lot. Could there be an issue with connector pins touching each other or will the port prevent that once it's attached. AND where do you find so many broken PS4s???
You just need to make sure none of the pins are bridging after applying the hdmi port, I havent had them ever bridge using the method in the video. I work for a company that does various electronic repairs and I'm the one who does all the solder work.
It cost $120. Google "Utec Riverpark". We're open 7 days a week, thats where I work. I'll get it done for you, mention you saw my video and I'll do it for $100
I'll repair it for $100 must mention this video and say that I told you $100. The repair is normally $120. Google Utec riverpark and ask for me. -David
Great video. I've tried twice now with just a heat gun and failed. I watched another video where the guy just used a heat gun and was able to replace the port without using anything else. Which part of your process do you consider to be why the heat gun alone won't work?
Sounds like the pins in the back of the port are not getting attached to the contacts on the board. That's why you need a solder iron to touch up the back pins
