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.
Here is how I received the console.![Before the replacement](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/62932601-ade8-4163-97f6-415218a3c970.jpeg)
