PS4 HDMI TMDS trace damage rebuild repair (SAB-001 CUH-1116A) 

I never quite understood why people try putting missing trace wire UNDER the pads… in a case like this, soldering the jumper wires after placing the port seems so much easier than trying to balance the port on a wire and solder masking it down. Thanks for showing your method! I’m about to do the same (with broken hdmi legs too!)

i DO NOT like one thing. That so much people do not leave a thumbs up! for you. You are working and you are a Pro. I learned everything from you and i will start (if the damn F**** Cam arrives...) doing entertainment records of my PS4 repairs. 14 Units, 10 fixed. rest BLOD working for my IR to lift off. NICE WORK as EVER, MAN!

I love watching your videos for tips. Thanks for all the contents and tips. Keep up the good work!!

Well enojoyed watching that, thanks for the upload

Thanks, lot's of useful knowledge here not mentioned in other tutorials.

The master at work again & nearly 10k subs to boot 👍

Real nice job on this one. Those jumpers look great!

Excellent channel...... learning lots from your videos. I started a few yrs ago with cheapo equipment. A few weeks ago i upgraded to a 7 x 45 zoom scope and today i ordered the quick 861dw after using a $89 youyeu unit. It was fine for some work but just not adequate for PS4 hdmi ports.

Great explanations and very informative. Thank you.

There was a time when I would've cringed at that kind of job. Now i absolutely love it 🤣

Great videos and top work mate 😉

Very neat work. Thanks

God you work so good. Happy for you men!

Many Thanks عافاك الله وابقاك وبارك فيك

As allways nice work!

Love your videos I’m working on two now no video I was wandering we’re to get the incoder ic for the ps4 fat original

hi paul love your videos your wire what size do you use pal ?

I really enjoy these videos. I have an xbox one s which needs the HDMI port repaired, every pad except the ground pad has been ripped out. I've been putting it off, maybe I'll send it over to you instead :) lol

If you have an air compressor, you can heat the area with an iron and blow out the left over pins with the air. Works great!

Love your videos man! Very helpful. Could you please make a video on pad repair for a usb type b? I have been running into this problem very often.

Hi Andrew! This was an awesome video for such a great fix! I was wondering if you'd have any tips on replacing pads 19 through 17? I wasn't sure how to obtain a connection since the vias are above the pad and the HDMI port will end up sitting on them. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Got almost all my pads missing, well most are there but have lifted. I gave this a go on a pcb prototype board and junk ic, it didn’t go too badly for my first attempt, but the only enamelled wire I had was awg 38. It was like using a human hair. No strength in the wire at all. Today I have awg 30 arriving along with 10 cheap hdmi ports from Farrell. I can have a lot more practice before I try the actual PS4 replacement hdmi. Could you tell me exactly what sort of wire you use for these repairs please? Many thanks, your vids have been a great help

Hi great vid what size jump wire do you suggest please

Great video, i recently pulled the pad and track of pin 1. Any chance you can help me find the enamel wire you used? Thanks in advance.

Amazing stuff

hi andrew what microscope are you using you seem to have a great field of view i have an amscope se420 led with 10x eyepieces and the objective is 2x is that to much its what came with the scope did not come with 1x objective what can i do do give me more height looking down the scope an more surface area really appropriate if you could help me out hear cheers mate

31:48 you make me think of the one dude from that movie Boogie Nights lol...the black dude, i think worked as a salesman at a stereo store as his other job.

Thanks again for the great video Andrew. These always make my day. I really hope it’s okay, but I have a small question in relation to a different component within the device. On a base ps4 unit that I have, one of the metal poles within the ac in seems to wiggle a little bit. I’m not entirely sure if it’s just the plastic surrounding it that just warped over time. Or if it’s something else. Manipulating the power cable doesn’t cause it to shut off. But if you can I would genuinely appreciate your take on it.

What température do you use to soldering pin. Thanks

Been looking for this specific video so I can repair my Nintendo 3ds XL motherboard; unfortunately, my issue is that the copper has been lifted and it leads towards an adjacent resistor which I had to eventually desolder. Kind of sucks when the pad rips off with the SMDs.

an hour well spent for me, excellent work

Good work

will a 38 awg or 40 awg magnet wire work well in this small space situation?

If I made a scratch across the tracers how would I cover m up to keep them from being bridged together

Hi, Could I maybe ask a silly question, when soldering a round wire to a flat pin, would it be an idea to just tap the end of the wire so it’s flat. I have taken off a 28pin ic, 232R, and it has quite a few pads missing, some have no trace to the missing pads. Would you suggest buying a kit of different size pads, as I have to make a connection under the ic, as can’t see the point in putting a pad on, if it has no connection. Lastly what size is your enameled wire, and price please. Many thanks for a really good video, very well thought out, with a lot of experience, you make it look very easy, well done, Barry

I recently got it repaired in a shop (Xbox one S) I pulled it open to see the job done before plugging it in. There is solder across the things you were repairing at the beginning. If I plug this thing in, should I worry about it frying my TV?

Magnetic wires touching each other don't short. Only when both the tinned ends are touching each other they short?

What time of wire and size are you using ? Any suggestions where to buy it? Also, what side of too did you use to solder in place the pins?

Would you happen to have the hdmi Pins Layout Diagram for the ps4 pro?

brother day I wanted to ask you for an info but the 4 pins he show in the video are only 4 of them that in practice allow the vision with the hdmi cable? i have a ps4 with ruined tracks and i wanted to know if by restoring these 4 tracks i will finally have the possibility to connect the ps4 to my tv thanks for your fantastic videos pity i don't understand english it would have been useful to understand everything you comment

Hi, What scope you are using to see clearly legs?

What size coper wire are you using?

Hello! I follow with interest everything that you post and I learned many useful things from you, and in this way I want to thank you. I've repaired a few PS4 so far by following your tips and tutorials, but I have a PS4 missing a diode near the HDMI socket (there is 3 same diode marks DJ) . I searched for information about her and I found absolutely nothing. I would be grateful if you could help me with this problem and tell me where I can find this diode. . Good day and thanks.

Can you please help me. I need help learning how to replace a power/ dc motherboard jack port on an Xbox one. Recently one of the sides came off and exposed 6 copper strands. Thing is I can still plug the power supply into it and it worked but recently it started shutting itself off mid game and I can’t find any tutorials on it online

I have a problem with my MB , I Was disassembling to apply thermal paste but accidently knocked off a couple of chips where the BR Drive ribbon cable connects to ,rendering it unresponsive . Now thinking of buying a replacement motherboard but I'm just wondering if I will need a new daughter board also? Or can I just buy the motherboard and install it? Hope to hear from you soon thanks for reading 👍

all my pads are gone on my ps4 hdmi what is the smallest awg wire to use to stay inside the trace ines and where does pin #1 connect to on the board?

pad 14 is missing where do you run the wire from the pin to where?

Any ideas for fixing the unrecognized disc error

When I find legs of a component still soldered in, I use a toothpick and either soldering iron or hot air and push them out.

What kind jumper wire is that. Ever thing I have bends way to easy? Nice job on this. :)

what kind of scope are you using? mine has to sit right on top of the chip and no room to do anything.. what iron tip size are you using? a micro tip?

That is why I own a solder sucker... I can completely empty those holes and ensure they are 100% clear.. those legs (and my favorite, broken through hole pins from stuff like resistors)

Hi Sir! What a repair! Fantastic job, only with good tools, good microscope and steady hands it could be done. I would like to ask if it could be done with a cheap chinese USB microscope in the 30 euro range. I would like to ask also if you could run the wire through the via and solder it from the other side of the board, could it make a better mechanical connection? Many thanks!

wish i had the gear to give this a try and learn it

Amazing Paul but where do you find the copper cable and the green varnish? thank you ;)

Hi, Andrew, I'd like a little advice I have been following some of your videos I have a Yihua 853D would u consider this a good hot-air station? it's been good for most things it has melted the solder fine on one board and no pads came off so I am pretty confident the hot air station is up to the job although I tried another board and solder pin 8 was torn from the board what heat would you recommend for a clean job the setting is currently 460 also what size attachment would you recommend would it be safe to pump the hot air to 500 I am not sure how accurate the machine is but it seems quite a good one for a price. What is the best hot air station under £250 that you recommend for beginners? I really appreciate the hard work that goes into your videos I have bought some of that wire that you recommended I went for 0.25mm and 0.40mm would this be of a good size I also ordered a fiberglass pen I would love to learn more about HDMI replacement looking out for some more PS4s I understand it's only easy repair if no pads come up and the part can be put right in. can I ask do pads ever come up even for experts like yourself or have u learned to avoid this problem completely. I would like a recommendation on a hot air station I have been cutting bits of wires and trying to place them where id like them to go this video makes it look so easy to do u recommend putting flux down first to help the wire stick I will watch your video a few more times I am trying to repair an HDMI port that is only missing pad 8 I feel if I had put the heat up more and never touched the part with tweezers and just let it fall out on its own the pad might have stayed tact. I can not afford an expensive microscope currently I won't be recording or anything like that what is the cheapest microscope that will work for beginners thanks.

Andrewwwwww! Great video as usual. It actually helped me with a PlayStation I'm working on right now. I wanted to ask you for some advice if possible. The pins 10&12 are showing continuity ( using a good multimeter) I have jumped each line of traces from the top of the board (like above )and even to the back. I even bypassed the hdmi video coils on the back no change. I took off the Encoder still no change and then even replaced it and still no change. I have even jumped the pads under the encoder for 10&12 to the hdmi pin pads. All other values show to be correct do you have any knowledge of this or a great fix. Just do not know where else to look, besides myself and another colleague your the guy to talk to with the experience. Possible the pads for 10&12 below encoder is where it starts or middle just have no clue where that would run to. Any input would help and thank you in advanced. As well please keep posting the great videos very informative, trust ur making a good mark in the console board industry.

Do u know where I can find those protection diode

What size is the enamel coated wire please?

Lol you really need to steer clear on those Currys buddie because your microphone is super sensitive 😂😂 another great video dude..

Hello again Andrew. As always, great job! Just had a quick question....and please feel free to not answer if you're not comfortable. Also, you can DM me if that makes it ok....but here it is... What did you charge the customer for this repair? I know when I get a console like this it is usually someone that thinks "Hey, this looks easy enough, I'm going to do it myself." and then this happens. I know the repairs aren't that bad when you know what you're doing, but I do not charge the same rate (not even close) for a normal port repair against something like this mess. Let me know if you can. I will tell you what i would charge for this specific repair as well. Just want to see. Thank you, and soon you should be at 10k subs mate!!!!!!

What size was the wire you used?

and then why they are dark in color they have been practically eliminated in such a way as to connect the pins you discovered on the motherboard and in the end the 4 relative pins of the hdmi port will not even be connected to the motherboard

What type of wire is that and the size of it? Where can I get it?

work this with kynar ? or must be copper?

You do not test with an ohmmeter for shorts?

Are you using low melt solder?

I’m trying to find brand new filters/chokes here in the USA. Do you happen to maybe have a part number, or like the specific name. That will maybe help me find the correct ones I need for the PS4.?

Hi Andrew. Just really to pick your brains as I've taken on another ebay project that has a faulty HDMI problem. I had a good look at your vids and followed the tutorial in removing the HDMI port from the board and managed to do it with no damage to the pads and have some more ports on the way. However I've gone through the vids to try and diagnose further and the small resistor next to the diode on the right is an open line in diode mode. I'm inclined to think that the HD chip has a fault however I've also checked the diode itself and couldn't see any shorts on it or on pin 13. I've also checked the other diodes on the circuit and they are both working as they should as far as I can see and have also checked the caps for shorts as well and couldn't find any so it could just be that one resistor. I'm just wondering if there's anywhere else I should check before going any further.

Andrew Paul - I need to perform a single pin jump wire like this on an PS4 Pro HDMI, what thickness enameled wire do you use?

What size of tip are you using?

34:00 Are the "tails" on many of these solder connections a sign of anything? Maybe too much solder?

What s the name of the green solution please

wow you are magic guy good joob 😏😉👍👍👍👍

Bonjour s'il vous plaît où je peux trouver les schémas des cartes mères De consoles

Whts jumper wire width?

Awesome! Can this help me figure out what I need to change so I can change my MAC address?

Hello man you are amazing, i have the same problem with my ps4 can you help me please ??

What did you use to scrap away and expose the copper?

hi, andrew, to clean enamel from wires you can use aspirin tablets as flux, but do noy inhale the fumes. it cleans faster , so heat will not desolder from other end

Hi Andrew Can You tell me exact name of stuff that You used on last? This green stuff that cover wires. I can’t get it from video it’s my bad English. Thanks ;)

Do you use insulated or uninsulated jumper wire for these?

How come no one uses cratex bullet erasers to remove solder mask, and do trace repair? Makes for a neater repair and don't have to worry about fiberglass shards all over the place.

nothing like being like #420 lmao great job on the repair. what is the going rate for this kind of work?

Hi Andrew, I have a ps4 that sometimes show picture for a moment or only sound, can it be a bad hdmi port or is it worse like a bad hdmi chip? Thanks

enameled wire!!! thats all i needed to know. i was wandering how these jumpers are insulated. old transformer time eh

That green cover sealer is not the type that cures with UV light.

👍👍👍👍👍

What kind of flux and wire do you use?

dude, you've told me too much

Hello Andrew your vids are Great but there is one problem i cant find anywhere. its the xbox one s power problem where the console will not power on just beeps i have tried new power supply and holding the power button down but no luck i have had a lot of xbox with this problem but cant find the fix anywhere. would be a great help if you know what the problem is thanks. mark

What was the link for the flux Andrew?

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Whre in the uk are you

Nice job Andrew... but, if the pace of your yob is soo slow, then you gonna be poor man, my friend! :) Same state pisplay port and hdmi shoud take not longer than 10 minutes
