Watched this whole thing stoned out of my mind. would do it again

This video actually helped me a lot when I was struggling. Now repairing HDMI ports like a pro, thanks to you

Thank you for this very clean, easy demonstration on how to replace the hdmi port. You explained each step clearly and hassle free. There are thousands of videos available on how to do this but yours is by far, one of the best examples. For anyone watching, please be sure to use a good quality flux and solder which will give you a solid, clean and reliable result.

Hi. I watched this video 3 times before attempting to change the HDMI port in my nephew's Xbox. I just wanted to say, thank you, and I think I invented an even easier version of your method. I got the old port off and then I could not for the life of me get any of the old solder out of the leg holes. I didn't have your fancy desoldering gun but I did have the plastic one and it didn't do a darn thing. So this is what I did instead. With the board facing up, I put a drop of leaded solder onto each of the 4 leg points, then I pointed my heat gun at the area until I saw them start to melt(a few seconds) then I carefully pushed the new port into place with my other hand(and tweasers). I made sure the pins all looked aligned and Then I turned off the heat gun. That's it. The old solder hardened almost instantly and it all looks just as good as new. No mess. Painless. Took half the time as your method. But thank you for the guidance! I couldn't have done it without this video. I tested the Xbox after and it works like new. I'm so proud!

Fam I was just trying to replace it not make it look brand new

"Just gonna add alot of soda"

Nice! I just did one on a Xbox one for the first time the other day. Thanks for the video, always great work

​ @TweakTips I've been soldering all sorts of electronics for over forty years, including modern stuff, but still picked up a few tips. Thank you for this! It's an excellent primer as well as a guide to the Xbox in particular which I don't work on very much. I really appreciate you letting us know which solder station settings you use, most videos just seem to assume that.

man after buying un leaded solder, a soldering iron, heatgun, copper braid, copper flux (didnt do my research very well), and then buying proper flux later, waiting for half the stuff to come in the mail. I find your video. I managed to get off the broken port and almost got the new port back in but I didnt remove any of the old solder (from watching other videos i tried just the heatgun method with no success) Im going to give it another attempt tomorrow with this great info

I appreciate this well made informative video. Clear instructions, great viewing angle, high resolution. I love it. Thank you!

Tysm I followed every step and successfully did it on the first try😁

Success! I followed your instructions and now have a working HDMI port. Your reassembly video was also very useful. Thanks

Great job, thank you but if you show us testing the new port after the fix by connecting the unit to TV, that will be great! Excellent tutorial 👍💥💯

Thanks dude now my xbox HDMI outlet is fixed

I built and repaired Class 3 electronics for 8 years and you guys do yourselves a huge favor and do exactly the opposite of what this guy does.

New sub, followed you after watching your video Love what you do, Thanks for sharing it

You make this process look so easy and simple! Very informative video thank you.

guys its bob ross but he has an accent and he is a genius at soldering

You got a new sub! You explain well and the production is great! Keep up the work!

This helped me out of fixing my cousins xbox

For the record on a port that’s split...try using a small pair of pliers and reconnect the bottom tabs that way you don’t have to do all this stuff.

Excellent job, the only addition to the method shown would be to use IPA in between using the irons and gun. This cleans the excess flux (as most are rosin based) to keep the area clean. Since there is small components near the pad areas and using a heat gun; kapton tape is inexpensive and a huge repair tool when soldering surface mount areas. You remind me of manufacturing techniques on repair stations. GREAT JOB!

thanks, thats the best way i have seen yet :)

Never thought i would ever be searching this. But my buddy wants to replace is. You just made this possible. Thanks my friend. I subscribed

Father of 4 here, followed each step, first bought a decent soldering gun, then a heat gun and followed all the steps to the point I need a de-soldering gun. I don't care about the price, I just want a good one to finish this job. Please point me in the right direction...Many thanks from Boston.

Thank you so much! This helped, I had a donor Xbox one board and practiced on it and removed and reinstalled the hdmi port on it, only problem I’m having is I only have the desolder pump and not the gun you have so it took me like 40 minutes trying to remove the solder on the holes where the port goes in, I got 3 of them out easily with the pump but the last one just wouldn’t come out so I had to try a different solution. I’m trying to buy an Xbox One S with a broken HDMI port and see if I can fix following this guide again, this amazing video just got you another sub!! 😄

We can also use a desoldering pump?

Bout to start mine soon hopefully i dont mess nothing up

Thank you so much this worked great.

Thank you for this informative video!

I don't know what the videos about but this pot is fire

This is excellent, thank you.

Hello bro I’m trying to fix the htmi port but the things you said we need are not available to me what can I use instead .what are the thing I need that not that expensive.Thank you

Hi just quick question I’m getting no signal on my Xbox at all Xbox turning on will that just be the issue with the hdmi port love your video

Whats the size of the chizel you are using (0.5)?

Thank you for the video. I do have one question though. What temp should my soldering iron hit in order to loosen the solder on the legs of the hdmi port?

What is apa the you use for cleaning?I wan to buy one but I don't know what it is help pleasee

Bruh this really helped my brother broke the input

Actually, while this method obviously worked, it made it harder than it has to be. I suggest buying some solder wick. It’s a copper braid with flux built in. Start from the back side (opposite side of the port) lay the wick across the solder points and heat it with the iron, the heat will pull the solder into the wick and allow the ports legs to be pulled out from the other side. Solder wick is a solderer best friend. Do not over heat the printed circuit board as it can damage other components as well as weaken the board. Good luck!

You don't need a desoldering gun. Solder sucker does the job in one hand, iron in the other. It is cheaper

Great job! I've been waiting for this video for years. I'm nominating him for president in the next US election. Think of the things he could fix? I can see it now 😴💭

My Xbox one s HDMI out port to TV is broken

First off, thanks for the video. It's going to hel a ton. What kind of heating gun do you use? I am looking to fix a friend's Xbox One S for his son. This is going to be my first crack at this so I want to make sure I'm prepared. If I need any other tools or supplies to do the job it would be great to know beforehand.

I plan on attempting this...starting to tinker more and more. Do the small pins already have solder on the new HDMI port? Or do I need to introduce a small amount of solder with a fine tip? I feel like yours stuck so easily to the motherboard pads 🤣

Great vid. Thanks man. When you solder to the pads on the motherboard do you have to use an EXTRA thin soldering attachment to avoid the little wires melting together??? I'm worried mine isn't thin enough! @booeam tech

can you do this without the unleaded solder

Do you have to purchase specific xbox compatible hdmi ports? Or will any do the trick? I'm located in the U.S. if you drop a link. Thanks *thumbs up*

I hope you’re using a fume extractor when doing soldering because those fume are very bad

is it possible to just push the hdmi piece out with just the desoldering gun?

Can I use any flux like from Home Depot? Need it fixed quickly

Could you as a temporary fix (until I get a replacement HDMI port) could I take the HDMI in port and put it in the HDMI out port?

If its bent on the bottom like only a little will it effect the performance of the picture or nah?

Do you need to have a desoldering gun?

I did everything in the video and my Xbox worked but for some reason my screen stop displaying out of nowhere while my xbox was updating do you know what could be wrong?

I don’t have any tools to melt it or anything what do I do

Mine just went! Just in time for Xbox Series X!

Nice video! But do you know where I could pay someone to do this for me?

How much would this cost to do if I didn't have a soldering iron

How do you keep the tiny pegs from touching each other

Do you mean low temperature solder,are low melt solder......

Hi I have a Xbox one s so my Xbox one I closed and then I opened after maybe from 1 to 2 hours it has problem with HDMI port and in screen like it was broken screen like green red like broken phone so I went to the shop to fix but it’s still the same problem and also when I open the Xbox display was 640p I want 1080p before when Xbox is good 1080p all good so can anyone help me please with this problem

What do I do if 2 of the pins on the motherboard have fallen off?

How would you remove the solder on and in pads if no solder sucker?

If two pads are not good what we can do with it cover by solder?

All the legs on the hdmi if those touch eachother and sotter together will it not work

What’s with the black residue left by the flux!? Never seen that before

How much would it cost to get a professional to do this?

Can you take the hdmi off without a heat gun?

What if you DONT have like hot air guns and flux and all that?

Which was the temperature for the heat gun and how much time did you apply to the port?

So I thought you cleaned all the solder off the board before you started. I seen you heat each leg up but not actually add any soldier to them. Did I miss you add soldier to them before you seated it to the board

Can you switch the ports on the xbox? Like taking the non-broken port and switching?

He actually like we could do this ourselves

@TweakTips what temp do you put your soldering iron, disoldering gun , and hot air gun?

Great video. All the other ones i saw were an hour or more lol. What all do i need to do this replacement other than the hdmi replacement port and soldering iron + solder?

Didn't work for me it will turn on but does not show the screen

so how do i tank the shell off??

Where did you get your HDMI from?

But what should you buy to replace the port?

Hi .. Can you please tell us what heat gun you used to remove the port ?

What can i do about if a pad i missing from the hdmi port

Ya I think I’ll just bring it to my local shop 😭😂

Is that a micro soldering pencil or standard iron you're using?

What is IPA?

I did it on mine and I get picture but it's cuts out then cuts back in. It does this consistently. Is this because it's bridged somewhere?

So I don't have the vacuum option for this. What else can I do?

Is there any alternate ways to do it without the heat or soldering gun because I can't afford those items they are way too expensive at the moment

Out of curiosity, do you have a preferred brand of isopropyl alchohol?

I accidentally lifted some of the pads, what should I do now?

its not really doing it im worried about, its getting the materials is the hard part

hay i have every thing i need for this but the replacement hdmi port whare did you get it

Where can I buy the alternative hdmi port?

I tried doing this I couldn’t melt the solder I’m using a 60 wat harbor freight iron and some soder and a heat gun, what type of solder should I use and is 60 watt enough thanks

Please help me! I’m trying to run jumper wires to the HDMI port, do you by any chance know what size to use or which type? An Amazon link to one would GREATLY helpful, thank you!

I can never remove the older solder, it pisses me off why is it so hard to remove???? I have solderwick good flux, and leaded solder, but i can never remove the old I always daamge the board,

I’ve never done this before and I’m trying to fix my old Xbox’s hdmi port and I don’t have any of the tool. Where can I get tools for this and also any tips to help me?

2:34 Them pins on the motherboard, my Xbox had some kind of faulty that it would just black out the screen and reappear randomly. I opened the Xbox and one of the pins was damaged like half of a pin was gone for some reason. U know how to fix it mate?

Wondering what I'm doing wrong. No matter how long I heat it with the gun, the port wont budge. How long should it take?

Just wondering is there any adapter for this so I don’t have to replace,this

Can you repair “Pads” looks like I knackered mine like made a bit disappear!
