Ps4 – Playstation 4 Broken HDMI Port Repair. How to fix this PS4

hdmips4

Seems that my HDMI port is broken on my PS4 due to having it plugged in and out all the time. Is there a way to fix this easily? I tried calling sony and they said I'm out of warranty and that it was due to physical damage and they would not take it in. Looking for other options if possible as this was a $500 system!

Here is a write up of the repair process for the ps4 hdmi port:

Now as for the PS4 HDMI repair process, it was definitely a much trickier fix than doing a ps3 hdmi port. The PS3 systems has all of the pins and legs being held down on one side of the board. As for the PS4, you had the pins of the HDMI connector on one side and the legs held down on the other side. It wouldn't have been possible to heat just one side and pull off the PS4 HDMI component as the PCB board itself was absorbing all of the heat from one side. Below are some of the repair methods you might see people do:

Use 2 heat guns, but you'll need 3 hands. Also you'd have to becareful of not melting off other small chips around it. Wouldn't recommend doing this, as its mostly for those on a super tight budget and resorting to primitive tools. Yes, a heat gun repair is a primitive repair tool. Hot Air Station is another repair method, but that too is also still tricky as all the heat is generated on one side of the PS4 board only. Removing pins from the board first with an exacto knife. Then use a hot air station to remove the PS4 HDMI legs.
