PS4 PRO HDMI Replacement

Note: Replacing HDMI requires experience and the right equipment!

On the CUH-1116 (PS4 FAT), PIN 4 on the new HDMI port may show red before the first console startup. After the initial boot, the same PIN usually turns green on the tester – this is normal behavior.

● Issue Description

  1. Visible mechanical damage to the port or surrounding area.
  2. Video or audio signal depends on cable movement or position.
  3. No video or audio output, even though the console powers on.

● Diagnostics

  1. Inspect the HDMI port for physical or mechanical damage.
  2. Check the console indicator light – a solid white light means the console is working properly.
  3. Connect a controller to confirm that the console responds to input.
  4. Perform a diode test as shown below. Readings may vary slightly, but focus on the correct position of the green, red, and white pins – they indicate proper signal line continuity.

● Repair Steps

  1. Use hot air at around 420°C with airflow level 2–3. Preheat the board to approximately 160°C.
  2. Apply flux and a small amount of fresh solder to prepare the joints.
  3. Heat the area evenly – using a soldering iron may help to release the pins more easily.
  4. Be careful with the small SMD components located behind the HDMI port – they can be easily displaced or damaged by excess heat.
  5. Clean the solder pads thoroughly once the damaged port is removed.
  6. Align and solder the new HDMI port in place, ensuring all pins are properly seated.

● Testing

  1. Perform another diode test to confirm correct readings.
  2. Connect the console to a display and verify that both video and audio output work correctly.
