PS5 HDMI Port Repair/Replacement and General Tips on HDMI and other port rework

HDMI Ports like to snap off at their solder joints. Our Website: https://morethanafix.com -Tools we Use -Soldering I currently Use 3 different handles, standard, micro-pencil and micro tweezers. I will say having the standard handle and micro pencil is a necessity and the tweezers are intermittently useful but not necessary. Tip choice is largely personal preference, unless its conical. I use bevel or chisel tips for standard handle and knife tip for micro pencil, standard ones for the tweezers. Fume Extractor- Not available on amazon, but we use a Quick 6102A1 (Dual Port) The single port is the 6101a1, don't cheap out on your health! I believe there are some vendors in the US on eBay for these or you could order on ali express Union repair etc. Solder fumes are bad to breath, get a good fume extractor lest ye get the cancer! https://amzn.to/4aumQa9 - Hakko FX951, Single input soldering station with standard sized handle (FM-2027) and stand https://amzn.to/3WTAtgb - Hakko C1551 Dual Port Soldering Station (FM-203) Station Only https://amzn.to/3WUQZMP - Hakko FM2032 Micro Pencil, my most used iron by far. https://amzn.to/45bKcAF - Hakko Micro tweezer+stand+tips https://amzn.to/3R0AeMp - Quick 861DW Hot Air Station, Makes things hot , reliable, I like angled nozzles. https://amzn.to/3WUv2NP - AMScope SM-6T-FR Microscope head we use with a boom arm.
