Thank you for this very clean, easy demonstration on how to replace the hdmi port. You explained each step clearly and hassle free. There are thousands of videos available on how to do this but yours is by far, one of the best examples. For anyone watching, please be sure to use a good quality flux and solder which will give you a solid, clean and reliable result.
Thanks Steve, really appreciate it
This video actually helped me a lot when I was struggling. Now repairing HDMI ports like a pro, thanks to you
Hi. I watched this video 3 times before attempting to change the HDMI port in my nephew's Xbox. I just wanted to say, thank you, and I think I invented an even easier version of your method. I got the old port off and then I could not for the life of me get any of the old solder out of the leg holes. I didn't have your fancy desoldering gun but I did have the plastic one and it didn't do a darn thing. So this is what I did instead. With the board facing up, I put a drop of leaded solder onto each of the 4 leg points, then I pointed my heat gun at the area until I saw them start to melt(a few seconds) then I carefully pushed the new port into place with my other hand(and tweasers). I made sure the pins all looked aligned and Then I turned off the heat gun. That's it. The old solder hardened almost instantly and it all looks just as good as new. No mess. Painless. Took half the time as your method. But thank you for the guidance! I couldn't have done it without this video. I tested the Xbox after and it works like new. I'm so proud!
Excellent, and nice method.. just be really careful to not put too much pressure on the pads when inserting the replacement port when doing this - as the pads are warm (from the melted solder) it might damage them
I appreciate this well made informative video. Clear instructions, great viewing angle, high resolution. I love it. Thank you!
I built and repaired Class 3 electronics for 8 years and you guys do yourselves a huge favor and do exactly the opposite of what this guy does.
Fam I was just trying to replace it not make it look brand new
Haha.. if a jobs worth doing....
I wish I'd watched this video before breaking one with another video
You make this process look so easy and simple! Very informative video thank you.
Thanks Steve
man after buying un leaded solder, a soldering iron, heatgun, copper braid, copper flux (didnt do my research very well), and then buying proper flux later, waiting for half the stuff to come in the mail. I find your video. I managed to get off the broken port and almost got the new port back in but I didnt remove any of the old solder (from watching other videos i tried just the heatgun method with no success) Im going to give it another attempt tomorrow with this great info
Success! I followed your instructions and now have a working HDMI port. Your reassembly video was also very useful. Thanks
Great news! Thanks for letting us know Peter
You got a new sub! You explain well and the production is great! Keep up the work!
Thanks Onasazi - really appreciate your comment, sub and support
Nice! I just did one on a Xbox one for the first time the other day. Thanks for the video, always great work
Hml
Tysm I followed every step and successfully did it on the first try😁
New sub, followed you after watching your video Love what you do, Thanks for sharing it
Thanks Mark - Glad you enjoyed it
@TweakTips I've been soldering all sorts of electronics for over forty years, including modern stuff, but still picked up a few tips. Thank you for this! It's an excellent primer as well as a guide to the Xbox in particular which I don't work on very much. I really appreciate you letting us know which solder station settings you use, most videos just seem to assume that.
Thanks Andy, really appreciate that.. it is comments like yours that make it all worth while - thank you
Great job, thank you but if you show us testing the new port after the fix by connecting the unit to TV, that will be great! Excellent tutorial 👍💥💯
thanks, thats the best way i have seen yet :)
Thank you so much this worked great.
Thank you for this informative video!
Thanks David
"Just gonna add alot of soda"
Haha
Never thought i would ever be searching this. But my buddy wants to replace is. You just made this possible. Thanks my friend. I subscribed
Thank you very much, and welcome to the channel
This is excellent, thank you.
Excellent job, the only addition to the method shown would be to use IPA in between using the irons and gun. This cleans the excess flux (as most are rosin based) to keep the area clean. Since there is small components near the pad areas and using a heat gun; kapton tape is inexpensive and a huge repair tool when soldering surface mount areas. You remind me of manufacturing techniques on repair stations. GREAT JOB!
Thank you very much Darkrider - really appreciate it and great tips - thank you
This helped me out of fixing my cousins xbox
Thank you so much! This helped, I had a donor Xbox one board and practiced on it and removed and reinstalled the hdmi port on it, only problem I’m having is I only have the desolder pump and not the gun you have so it took me like 40 minutes trying to remove the solder on the holes where the port goes in, I got 3 of them out easily with the pump but the last one just wouldn’t come out so I had to try a different solution. I’m trying to buy an Xbox One S with a broken HDMI port and see if I can fix following this guide again, this amazing video just got you another sub!! 😄
Great news Johny and well done for not giving up with the pump!
@@TweakTips yay thanks! Lmao, if I end up getting that one s, I’ll be sure to let you know how the repair goes 😄
@@TweakTips 15:33 I’ll never understand how this is done without bridging, I just tried it on the Xbox I said I was gonna get and ahhh it’s so difficult man, like I did everything and just had to solder it down but the tiny tip doesn’t do much and the bigger tips cause a bridge and ugh :/
@@johny1220 It is tricky for sure - my top tip is a thin soldering iron tip, on a soldering iron which is at least 100w. Typically the thinner the tip, the less heat it holds, so it is better to have a higher wattage soldering iron when using a thin tip. Also, always add lots of flux when using a thicker tip and this will help to stop the bridges
@@TweakTips bro question, I have a couple ground pins with no pads, do they need jumper cables or not??
I don't know what the videos about but this pot is fire
Thanks dude now my xbox HDMI outlet is fixed
Thanks Charlie - Glad your xbox is working again
Great vid. Thanks man. When you solder to the pads on the motherboard do you have to use an EXTRA thin soldering attachment to avoid the little wires melting together??? I'm worried mine isn't thin enough! @booeam tech
Thanks Owen - yes, it is best to. really depends on how thick your soldering iron is. You might be able to get away with using a thick iron, just make sure not to bridge the legs
First off, thanks for the video. It's going to hel a ton. What kind of heating gun do you use? I am looking to fix a friend's Xbox One S for his son. This is going to be my first crack at this so I want to make sure I'm prepared. If I need any other tools or supplies to do the job it would be great to know beforehand.
Hi Chris - Just the heatgun, soldering iron and a decent Torx screw driver set with pry tool
Thank you for the video. I do have one question though. What temp should my soldering iron hit in order to loosen the solder on the legs of the hdmi port?
Hi Chris - I usually have my soldering iron set at around 450 which seems to do the trick
Really good question 🙋
@TweakTips what temp do you put your soldering iron, disoldering gun , and hot air gun?
For the record on a port that’s split...try using a small pair of pliers and reconnect the bottom tabs that way you don’t have to do all this stuff.
Squeeze it back together and your done....
Good tip as long as the pins are not damaged it should be good
Father of 4 here, followed each step, first bought a decent soldering gun, then a heat gun and followed all the steps to the point I need a de-soldering gun. I don't care about the price, I just want a good one to finish this job. Please point me in the right direction...Many thanks from Boston.
Hi Chase - thanks for the comment, and great to hear you are giving the repair a try yourself. Here is a link to the desoldering gun I have used personally myself and it has powerful suction, what is nice about this model is the pump is separate from the gun which means it can be larger and in turn more powerful - amzn.to/3nVQKwV
If you prefer a cheaper option, you can just try to use desoldering wick and a manual desolder pump - amzn.to/37bWjBB with this you will be able to place the copper wick over the pads and heat with your soldering iron and it will remove most of the solder (without the need for the desoldering gun). Key for the desolder wick is to use lots of flux so the solder is pulled onto the wick. Hope that helps.
Do you have to purchase specific xbox compatible hdmi ports? Or will any do the trick? I'm located in the U.S. if you drop a link.
Thanks *thumbs up*
Hi Bowzers - it is specific to the Xbox. For the S, this is the port you need - amzn.to/2W5XZ9p
Hi do I need the tools you use in this video including the things that you put on the hdmi port
guys its bob ross but he has an accent and he is a genius at soldering
I am not Bob, but thanks for the compliment ;-)
I plan on attempting this...starting to tinker more and more. Do the small pins already have solder on the new HDMI port? Or do I need to introduce a small amount of solder with a fine tip? I feel like yours stuck so easily to the motherboard pads 🤣
Hi - Great to hear you are tinkering.. that's how I got started as few year back. It is best to add a little solder to the legs of the new HDMI port before installing - this will always help. Just try not to add too much so you do not get any solder bridges.
I tried doing this I couldn’t melt the solder I’m using a 60 wat harbor freight iron and some soder and a heat gun, what type of solder should I use and is 60 watt enough thanks
I’ve never done this before and I’m trying to fix my old Xbox’s hdmi port and I don’t have any of the tool. Where can I get tools for this and also any tips to help me?
Hi just quick question I’m getting no signal on my Xbox at all Xbox turning on will that just be the issue with the hdmi port love your video
Thank you, and thanks for the question. Usually, no video output is one of two things.. either the HDMI port or the Retimer chip is faulty. I have a video here on how to replace the retimer chip - ua-cam.com/video/W_hJsG-IGUw/v-deo.html
Mine just went! Just in time for Xbox Series X!
Hello bro I’m trying to fix the htmi port but the things you said we need are not available to me what can I use instead .what are the thing I need that not that expensive.Thank you
It is actually really easy! After you get the old port off, as shown in this video, don't even worry about removing all the old solder, it seemed impossible for me, so I just put a drop of leaded solder onto each mount point, let it cool, heat up the area with the heat gun for a few seconds until you see the solder melt again, then with your tweasers holding the new port in your other hand, gently lower it down into it's position and press into place carefully, making sure the pins are aligned and it looks fairly level in comparison to the port next to it. Hold it in place and turn off the heat gun and you're literally done. No cleaning up or trying to suck up messy solder. No fancy equipment or desoldering mechanism needed. You can do it!
Is that a micro soldering pencil or standard iron you're using?
Bout to start mine soon hopefully i dont mess nothing up
Good luck!
i dont have any of that equipment though is there another way to do it beside using heating and flux and etc?
can you send a link on what hdmi port to use because mine port bent inside so I need to replace and I don’t know these ports well
Great video. All the other ones i saw were an hour or more lol. What all do i need to do this replacement other than the hdmi replacement port and soldering iron + solder?
Hi Yoinkez - you will need a hot air station too
Awesome thanks! :)
Will anything hot work work? Like a hot hairdryer?
@@Fandomsaddict definitely not. You need a hotter temp then a hair dryer can do
@@5k122Y what about a heat gun?
Is there any alternate ways to do it without the heat or soldering gun because I can't afford those items they are way too expensive at the moment
Actually, while this method obviously worked, it made it harder than it has to be. I suggest buying some solder wick. It’s a copper braid with flux built in. Start from the back side (opposite side of the port) lay the wick across the solder points and heat it with the iron, the heat will pull the solder into the wick and allow the ports legs to be pulled out from the other side. Solder wick is a solderer best friend. Do not over heat the printed circuit board as it can damage other components as well as weaken the board. Good luck!
But what should you buy to replace the port?
Which was the temperature for the heat gun and how much time did you apply to the port?
Heatgun temp was around 450, and it takes around 3 to 5 mins of heating usually
@@TweakTips thanks!
Great job!
I've been waiting for this video for years. I'm nominating him for president in the next US election. Think of the things he could fix? I can see it now 😴💭
hay i have every thing i need for this but the replacement hdmi port whare did you get it
Could you as a temporary fix (until I get a replacement HDMI port) could I take the HDMI in port and put it in the HDMI out port?
You certainly can yes
ok how long did it take you with the heat gun. I seem to be making no progress whatsoever. I was heating for about 20 minutes at 515C because my heating gun is a bit weak. But literally nothing is happening, nothing is getting loose.
Hi Captain.. It can take a while. Make sure you use plenty of flux and you have your air flow quite high
Out of curiosity, do you have a preferred brand of isopropyl alchohol?
To be honest, most brands are the same as it is a standard product. Look for something which is 99% or above
Do you have to use a heat gun?
Could you do it another way?
Hi .. Can you please tell us what heat gun you used to remove the port ?
Hi Ronald - I use a Mulicomp Pro, but any decent solder station will work like this one - amzn.to/3eFsk8T
Thanks
What is apa the you use for cleaning?I wan to buy one but I don't know what it is help pleasee
Hi - the cleaner is called IPA (or Isopropyl Alcohol). Here is an example - amzn.to/3kErmgb
@@TweakTips thanks you so much and what unsolder gun you use to remove soldering?and how remove wite stuff out water damage motherboard xbox one
Hi I have a Xbox one s so my Xbox one I closed and then I opened after maybe from 1 to 2 hours it has problem with HDMI port and in screen like it was broken screen like green red like broken phone so I went to the shop to fix but it’s still the same problem and also when I open the Xbox display was 640p I want 1080p before when Xbox is good 1080p all good so can you help me please with this problem
I did it on mine and I get picture but it's cuts out then cuts back in. It does this consistently. Is this because it's bridged somewhere?
All the legs on the hdmi if those touch eachother and sotter together will it not work
Bruh this really helped my brother broke the input
same
i was the brother who broke mine🤣
Please help me! I’m trying to run jumper wires to the HDMI port, do you by any chance know what size to use or which type? An Amazon link to one would GREATLY helpful, thank you!
Hi Jonny - good to hear you are giving the repair a go yourself.. great work! I usually use 0.04 or 0.02 wire... Here is a link to some jumper wire that would work for you - amzn.to/2WImsRY You can always double up the wire if you need more thickness
@@TweakTips I actually just bought a pack of enameled and non enameled wire from this UA-camr’s website: northridgefix.com/product/2x-jumper-wire-roles-0-1mm-insulated-0-1mm-uninsulated-restore-broken-pads-traces/
I’ve seen a lot of his videos and he uses that and it seems really good, especially for 2 for just $8 lol, I also have the one you sent me and it is WAY too thin for me and literally rips when I try to unroll it. Hopefully I’ll have better luck with this one, still working on that Xbox One S but I got a lot of new tools since then and spent a couple hundred on everything, hope to get it working, thanks for all your help in this 😄
@@johny1220 No worries Johny - Nothridgefix is a great channel, I watch and subscribe to him too! Good luck, hope you get it working, and just shout if you have any other questions
How much would this cost to do if I didn't have a soldering iron
2:34
Them pins on the motherboard, my Xbox had some kind of faulty that it would just black out the screen and reappear randomly. I opened the Xbox and one of the pins was damaged like half of a pin was gone for some reason. U know how to fix it mate?
Hi Nico - depends on how much of the pin is missing. If it a small amount you might be able to bridge and resolder the pin, if not you will need to replace the HDMI port
Will a hair dryer work instead of a heat gun jw have everything else but the heat gun
Super old vid but, i followed instructions and temp settings, tried even higher temps for the heat gun n for at least 4 hours I've been trying to get this hdmi port is still on there 😑 how long exactly lol
Can you repair “Pads” looks like I knackered mine like made a bit disappear!
Hi, how much would you charge to do this for someone? Thanks
Good😍
I did everything in the video and my Xbox worked but for some reason my screen stop displaying out of nowhere while my xbox was updating do you know what could be wrong?
I would double check to make sure every pin on the HDMI port is soldered securely.
@@TweakTips on the back of the hdmi port?
I need this done but I don’t have the tool:( do you take customers x box’s to repair as I’m in need of a fix as apparently it will cost £100 which isn’t worth it what do you reckon I should do
Hi Edward - send a message to our friends at consoletherapy.com - they might be able to help
@@TweakTips THANK YOU !!!
which de soldering gun do you use?
Can I switch out the HDMI piece next to it with the one that is broken
We can also use a desoldering pump?
Yes, absolutely
Whats the size of the chizel you are using (0.5)?
You got it.. 0.5mm
Hey if anyone knows what tool he used that he didn’t mention in video can someone tell me what the names of the tools are so I can go get them
Unfortunately I think I ruined my board during the heat gun part. Part of the pad came off with the broken hdmi socket because it was taking 30+ minutes and I guess I got impatient so I started tugging down *lightly* to get the socket to move. Well, that worked, but upon flipping the board over I see the pad is half missing. What a bummer... that heat gun part is gruelingly slow and I can't help but feel like this tutorial is meant for those who have high quality equipment -- the rig I've got is a sort of "entry level" set and just doesn't seem to generate the heat required for quick soldering and heat gun use. Damn...! Freaking bummer right now
Hi I have a Xbox one s so my Xbox one I closed and then I opened after maybe from 1 to 2 hours it has problem with HDMI port and in screen like it was broken screen like green red like broken phone so I went to the shop to fix but it’s still the same problem and also when I open the Xbox display was 640p I want 1080p before when Xbox is good 1080p all good so can anyone help me please with this problem
Sounds like it could be an HDMI Retimer IC problem
I plan on getting a heat gun soon do you have any recommendation under 90$?
Also is the 852D 2in1 soldering rework station a good option?
@@coldcranston Hi - I would recommend station which has the heat pump in the base unit (not in the handle of the gun) as they produce a much more efficient and reliable heat source. Something like this - amzn.to/3j7M47c You can tell the difference as the station with the pump in the base unit will have a thicker pipe running to the gun, the cheaper versions will simply have a cable running to the gun
@@TweakTips thanks!
If its bent on the bottom like only a little will it effect the performance of the picture or nah?
Hi Travis - Depends if any of the pins are bent inside the port. If not, you should be OK
@@TweakTips thanks for replying, right now It looks a little bent at the bottom as I caught it on my leg and accidentally yanked it. It's still working and everything tho I was just worried it would break aha
Do you repair them if I was to mail it to you?
Absolutely fuckin great I love the fuckin brilliance to this fuckin video well done u fuckin legend
You don't need a desoldering gun. Solder sucker does the job in one hand, iron in the other. It is cheaper
Nice video! But do you know where I could pay someone to do this for me?
Hi - Thank you very much. If you are based in the UK, check out consoletherapy.com/
You can get somone to do it on the app thumbtack
Hi mate, i was taking the hdmi port off today and i accidently ripped up one of the solder pads off the hdmi connection on the board its the third one from the left im not sny expert st this but it looks like there is no connection to the motherboard from it is it just a placeholder pad to just add extra support to the port or will my output not work, if it wont work csn you give me some advice cheers
Hi Jud - Thanks for the message. You mention third from the left? Do you mean third from the right? If it is the third from the right (when looking from inside the console) then you will be fine, this pin is not connected, so it should work fine. If it is the third from the left then that pin is connected to one of the filters, and retimer, so you will need to run a jumper wire to the filter - hope that helps.
@@TweakTipsHi, if you look at the console from the front the one on the right the third one in and as i said im not any professional im only 14 im just tryna start a bussiness i have fixed phones and phone screens before but this is my first time trying soldering on something like this. Cheers mate much appreciated
@@juddyyy Hi Jud - That pin is not used, so you are all good. Well done for giving this a go my friend - if you need any help, just shout, will be happy to help you out
TweakTips Cheers mate you got a twitter i can dm you on if i need help?
What do you mean when you say leaded solder? Like what ratio? I do you mean low temp solder? Like chipquick or something? I'm confused. Noewbie here trying to learn.
Like I don't understand how you are able to stick the legs in place when you removed all the solder with the wick
Hi Shevin - There are two main types of solder. Leaded and un-leaded. Un-leaded solder has a higher melting point than leaded solder, so using leaded solder is easier to work with. Try purchasing a solder with a Sn63/Pb37 mix
@@shevinsacrey5862 The solder is re-applied after the older un-leaded solder is removed ;-)
Wondering what I'm doing wrong. No matter how long I heat it with the gun, the port wont budge. How long should it take?
Make sure you have added unleaded solder first of all and use lots of flux.. should take 3 or 4 minutes at 480 degrees.
So I thought you cleaned all the solder off the board before you started. I seen you heat each leg up but not actually add any soldier to them. Did I miss you add soldier to them before you seated it to the board
Yes, make sure you tin the pads with solder before you attach the new port - makes life easier when you solder the pins
If two pads are not good what we can do with it cover by solder?
You will need to use jumper wire to reconnect the port legs
Hi on my Xbox one of the leg pins looks a bit dodgy will this cause any problems?
Hi - Yes, depending on how badly damaged the legs are. If you have a microscope (or a camera with zoom) try and see how badly damaged they are
What’s with the black residue left by the flux!? Never seen that before
Hi Doughty - It is just melted plastic residue from the old port that was removed
Where did you get your HDMI from?
I have a supplier in China, but they are available on Amazon here - amzn.to/319SvwQ
Is there away to aggressively pull it out. I'm getting a new one anyways but I wanna know. And by aggressive I mean no tools.
Hi - absolutely not - you will rip the tracks off the motherboard and will ruin your console. What ever you do, do not try to rip it off.
😂
How would you remove the solder on and in pads if no solder sucker?
You can use solder wick as well.. just heat it up enough before trying to move it as you could risk ripping the grounding pads
Can you list everything i need for my process?
Sure... you will need:
New HDMI Port (Xbox S) - amzn.to/3r4sydx
Hot Air Station (Mid Range) - amzn.to/37q4tpK
Soldering Iron (Mid Range) - amzn.to/3p1sZ6x
Or a combination Solder Rework Station (Mid Range) - amzn.to/37pU514
Soldering Wick (Instead of using de-soldering gun) - amzn.to/3ntxDtr
Solder - amzn.to/34mTKKL
And finally, Soldering Flux - amzn.to/3ampC62
can i do this without a heat gun? like just heat each one up with the iron instead?
Unfortunately not as the soldering iron alone will not head the pads up enough
@@TweakTips thanks off to buy a heat gun! haha
Just wondering is there any adapter for this so I don’t have to replace,this
Unfortunately not.. if the port is damaged, then an adapter (if one was available) would not work either
Where did you order the hdmi port from?
Hi Carlos - I order mine in bulk from China, but they are available on Amazon if you are just buying one or two - amzn.to/34Wn2jx
