Awesome Xbox one x repair - New way to solder an HDMI connector without making a mess

I did it ones many years before by using the same technik. That was easy even with a dumy hot air gun. You know.... Poor man's soldering station.

I'm using this method 2 maybe 3 years ...nice work !

Beautiful work!

"New way". lol what?

its kind of a dreamjob you have

Another item saved and not being e-waste and someone can continue playing their games, 👉YES to Right To Repair! 👈

I saw Necroware raking his tool over the pins and listening to them to hear if they are well soldered. Poorly soldered connections tend to ping as you rake the connector.

Impressive, very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s soldering.

THIS GUYS WORK IS THE BEST ...LOVE YOUR WORK 👍👍

yes, it is better than factory :D

This was just mesmorising to watch honestly. Couldnt take my eyes of it.
Thank you so much. You do amazing work

Are all HDMI connectors modular? I have a DVD player that I want to try and fix the hdmi inputs that are giving me no signal? Thanks and wonderful video!

When you wick the straight pads, wick it towards the vias instead of over the top of the traces, that masking comes off way too easy

a silly question which soldering unit do you use and what temperature did u use to remove the port with airflow setting. Thanks in advance

Great work 👍💪🏼

I like it when I can reflow an hdmi port on one of the Xboxs.I personally feel as they are the easiest to do when compared to other gaming consoles. Definitely a lot faster and safe because of how much metal is around that replacement hdmi port.

perfect welding, congratulations, friend!!!

That was painful to watch. Have you considered getting a desoldering gun? Something like a Hakko FR-301 like I use would have desoldered those large pins in seconds even with the high temperature lead-free solder. The rework pencil for removing the HDMI connector is a good idea but I would have used a gullwing tip to resolder the top pins. I would solder all 19 of those pins in 2 seconds using a Weller WES51 with an ETGW tip.

Pins are soldered down nicely but the solder has to flow up on those mountings pins.

I love watching this guy, he is so good at what he does, very interesting and very satisfying

I also run a small repair business. I don’t even bother removing the solder on the pads and in the holes but do add leaded solder to them. I also pre-tin the connectors of the new HDMI port.
After that I again apply flux on the holes and pads, heat the board from underneath and gently push the port into the holes with a plyer when the solder has melted. I believe this makes for a sturdier connection between the board and the legs.

Alex, thank you for making this video! This helped me replace a HDMI connector for a customer. I'm confident that I can do many more repairs like this. Again, thank you for what you do and keep up the great work!

I had always done it this way. Great work!

what do you charge for this job?

better than factory

Some people droll over great looking dishes, that HDMI connector, is just one of those beauties i could glare at it longer than play on the console itself
Great job

hola como se llama la pasta trasparente con la que trabajas saludos

Hands down , Above the rest. I liked that you told , how Flux worked. Very informative and explained that I could easily comprehend. You now have one more Subscriber. Thank you Sir. From Oklahoma. BOOMER SOONER!!!!!BABY.

I love learning from your videos

I’m new to micro repairs and I found your video incredibly helpful. My question is what is the green paste you’re using on the board after the replacement of the HDMI port?

nice work! happy trees at the end rob ross style

what heat would you recommend on a heat gun to deal with this?

I am a phone tech. I have been teaching myself how to solder HDMI ports on consoles, I have watched so many different videos. yours are done the most accurate and clean methods that I will be using. you are a legend bro. stay awesome.

usually hdmi isn't problem for me but one x is annoying with the 6 plugs. I may just need better head gun but ended up ripping some traces, so ended up having to run some trace wire. Will try this method and hopefully better luck with next because happened twice and both with one x

What's the cost of this job for both hdmi and timer chip

what flux are you using ?

🥰💓👍👍👍💓🥰

How many watt did your soldering iron have?

Perfect job men👍

If you have never soldered before how hard is this?

I love how solder flows and makes connections on electronic circuit boards, it's so neat.

Any tips for starters? I need to do this from home because the HDMI port had a catastrophic failure, I've no experience in soldering, but I'm going to give it my all!

I’m not sure if he mentioned it, but how many watts are needed to be able to take it off? I used a soldering tool of 60W, and nothing comes off, even tho I used the flux

Thank you for doing what you do that really helped me out a lot. For real from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

Do you need a micro soldering tip to make this work or is it doable with a regular soldering tip?
Also, I have some old flux that is dark brown in color. What type of flux is the one you're using? Besides the type, it being clear obviously helps to see things.

Is leaded solder also good to use for mixing solder?

What was the fee to change the HDMI connector?

Which fume extractor do you have

Damm wish I seen this before I fucked my ps5 up lol

NorthridgeFix: Nice work. What Flux are you use?
