Repair Process
Step-by-Step Timeline
HDMI Port Physical Inspection
Examined HDMI port under microscope at 40x magnification. Found pins 13-16 (HPD, CEC, SDA, SCL) severely bent and pin 19 (Hot Plug Detect) completely broken off. Port beyond repair - replacement required.
PS5 Disassembly
Removed PS5 side panels and 4 mounting screws. Disconnected power supply and Blu-ray drive cables. Carefully extracted motherboard from metal chassis. Placed on anti-static mat for micro-soldering work.
Damaged HDMI Port Removal
Used hot air station at 360°C to heat HDMI port shield and pins. Applied flux to improve heat transfer. Once solder melted, lifted port with micro tweezers. Cleaned 19 solder pads with desoldering wick.
Solder Pad Inspection
Inspected all 19 HDMI solder pads under microscope. Found 2 lifted pads (pins 4 and 18) - these were torn when damaged port was yanked. Jumper wire repair needed for these 2 traces.
Trace Repair with Jumper Wires
Located test points for HDMI data pins 4 and 18 on motherboard schematic. Soldered 38AWG magnet wire from lifted pads to corresponding test points. Applied UV solder mask for protection.
New HDMI 2.1 Port Installation
Positioned new HDMI 2.1 port (Amphenol 10029449-111RLF) onto motherboard pads. Applied low-temp solder paste. Reflowed at 250°C using hot air station. Inspected joints under microscope - all 19 pins perfect.
Motherboard Reinstallation
Reinstalled PS5 motherboard into chassis. Reconnected power supply, Blu-ray drive, and WiFi cables. Reattached heatsink assembly and fan. Secured with all original screws.
4K120Hz Output Testing
Connected PS5 to LG C1 OLED TV (supports 4K120Hz). PS5 booted to home screen successfully! Checked video output settings - confirmed 4K 120Hz RGB. Tested Spiderman at 120fps - buttery smooth.
HDMI 2.1 Feature Verification
Tested VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), HDR, and Auto Low Latency Mode - all working. Plugged and unplugged HDMI cable 10 times to test Hot Plug Detect - instant recognition every time.

"I tripped over my PS5 HDMI cable and ripped the port. My TV said 'No Signal' and I panicked - I had a FIFA tournament in 3 days. Sony wanted RM 1,499 and 3 weeks. Eric repaired the HDMI port same-day for RM 499. My PS5 now outputs 4K120Hz perfectly and I won my tournament! Absolute legend."
