Note: Replacing HDMI requires experience and the right equipment!
On the CUH-1116 (PS4 FAT), I noticed that PIN 4 on the new HDMI shows red before the first console startup. After that, PIN 4 turns green on the tester.
● Issue Description
Mechanical damage
Video/Audio signal depends on cable movement
No Video/Audio output
● Diagnostics
Check for visible mechanical damage.
Verify the console light – solid white = good.
Connect a gamepad to confirm console response.
Perform a diode test as shown below. Values may vary slightly, but the key is the location of the green, red, and white pins.

● Repair Steps
Use hot air at 420°C, airflow 2–3, with preheating at 160°C.
Apply flux and fresh solder.
Heat the area – using a soldering iron can help.
Be careful with the small components located behind the HDMI port – they can be easily displaced or damaged.
