Good fix, but I don't know if it's sellable now with the way the port sits inside the case. It doesn't have any side-to-side or up-down support around it from the case like the original. You could use a 2-part epoxy around the port on the board to stabilize it I suppose, but then all future HDMI cables would still need to be reworked to fit.
