Series X Replacement Hdmi- Funtional
(lemmy.world)
This was my first attempt doing a trace repair on a HDMI port. Seems like everything seems to be working after replacing those caps as well. Played through the tutorial of gears 5 with no issues.
What I've tested:
- Playing downloaded game
- Playing a Blu-ray
- Playing on a 4k TV and 1440 monitor. This one the auto detect preferred 120hz 1080p but manually selecting resolution works great.
What I've learned:
- Wired all the pads before soldering the port. I attached the front wires after the port was soldered. Should have just done them all.
- A cheap grinding pen is so much easier to use than a knife to expose the traces.
- 0201 are very hard to work with.
At first glance I thought this was a cpu with an unholy amount of thermal paste on it, I am so pleasantly surprised by your tale of port repair
Well thanks for giving it a second look lol
