Note: Replacing HDMI requires experience and the right equipment!

● Issue Description

1. Mechanical damage
2. Video/Audio signal depends on cable movement
3. No Video/Audio output

● Diagnostics

1. Check for visible mechanical damage.
2. Verify the console light – solid white = good.
3. Connect a gamepad to confirm console response.
4. 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

1. The PS5 motherboard is robust. Use hot air at 420°C, airflow 2–3, with preheating at 160°C.
2. Apply flux and fresh solder.
3. Heat the area – using a soldering iron can help.
4. Be careful with the small components located behind the HDMI port – they can be easily displaced or damaged.
5. Clean the pads thoroughly.
6. Install the new HDMI port.

● Testing

1. Perform a diode test again.
2. Check video and audio output with a display.
