No picture from your PS5, or a bent HDMI port? The HDMI connector is a micro-soldering repair — not a beginner job, but very doable with a hot-air station and patience. This guide outlines removing the damaged port and soldering in a new one cleanly. Not set up for board work? Our shop does this every week.
Before you start:
- This requires a hot-air station, flux and soldering skill — it is NOT a beginner repair.
- Discharge and unplug the console fully; capacitors hold charge.
- Overheating nearby pads will lift traces — practice on scrap first.
