I agree, I actually replaced my rework station after this video because it just wasn't functioning well enough. It would say it was up to temp but obviously wasn't.
as a 15yr, i followed through all of it, i got to the point to where you mention sotering, and i got a little mad, we/mu parents, and i do not have a sotering kit... im going to leave it apart for maybe a day or two, i don't know if that will mess up the thermal pads though.
(also, I'm doing this all by myself too, they will not help me nor buy anything for me. will I need a sotering kit? if so what's the best cheapest brand?
That is awesome you are attempting to fix your hdmi port. You really need a hot air rework station with a soldering iron and hot air gun. I don't want to discourage you but this is a difficult job to start with.
The purpose of the flux is to help the solder melt and to make the new solder melt to the pins. You do not have to use it but it makes it MUCH easier and cleaner of a job.
i can only order hdmi connectors that have a plastic part to them obscuring the small pins. Where can i get the one you're using in the video? or can the dark plastic be removed
There is only one style that works with the PS4 Slim (and Pro) and that is the one that I am using. However, the original PS4 used a different style HDMI so make sure you have the correct one.
Thanks for the video, I was able to successfully change the HDMI port. The only problem now is that the console no longer recognizes a controller. This was not the case before. I've tried 20 different cables and different controllers and even a new one from Amazon, nothing helps. Funnily enough, I can connect the controller via USB cable when the PS4 is in security mode. Repairing the database etc. didn't solve the problem either, when I try to reinstall the firmware via USB, I get the error message "SU-41283-8". Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
@@rubygem7386 This is a good point. If the bluetooth antenna was damaged or not reconnected this would cause your issue. But, it still should let you connect and play using a cable.
@@dackselectronicrepairI’ve got a issue where my ps4 slim reads that it’s there on my tv but there’s not any picture on the screen so I’m not sure what the issue is
While you do not "need" flux, it makes it much easier. It is separate and I like the no clean flux that you don't have to remove after using (which I do anyway).
And you just saved a 16 year old girls life. Thanks so much man. Yes I did this myself.
Awesome Job! You are the reason why I do these videos!
I’ve been trying to learn how to fix my ps4 as 14 year old this video has helped me so much thank you
That is awesome and impressive! Keep it up and you may be making your own repair videos someday!
@@dackselectronicrepair I hope so
18:37 It looks a bit messy (maybe the tip temperature is too low). But thank you for the video. It's helpful

I really need to learn how to solder it can save money and come in handy even if wanna make side money
You should! It is a skill most do not have which makes it profitable.
thank you !!!
Thank you!
8:47 he gets to the point
Gotta show the disassembly.
Right right
What about the two wires that go onto nipples under the square box on the board in the corner?
Those are for the wireless.
@@dackselectronicrepairwhat wireless?
The wireless antenna

Ya sorry buddy Sony is a dream killer
Do you need soder and flux and all those liquid or is there any other liquids to use
The purpose of the flux is to help the solder melt and to make the new solder melt to the pins. You do not have to use it but it makes it MUCH easier and cleaner of a job.
I lost one of these 4 tiny component behind the HDMI port what is the solution for that?
You can buy replacements. They are PS4 HDMI Filter Coils. Amazon has them.

What is the correct one do you have a part number @@dackselectronicrepair
Where can I find that tip for the soder iron?
I got that one on Amazon but you have to make sure it is the right size for the your soldering iron as there are different ones.
Iron is too cold in the beginning. Solder the big leg pins first.
I actually replaced my rework station after this video because the temps were not working right so good catch!

That is strange, I have not run into that problem before.
Maybe u forgot to put back some cables while taking the ps4 for hdmi port replacement

This is why i just use pc. Tike to buy another PlayStation since its half the price of the repair. Nice
Pc is great as well!
Do i need a flux that is separate from the soldering wire
While you do not "need" flux, it makes it much easier. It is separate and I like the no clean flux that you don't have to remove after using (which I do anyway).
what is the name of that past you used
The flux?
