Hello all! So i’m trying to make my quarantine as quick as possible So I bought myself a PS4 with a broken HDMI port the pads are still intact it’s just the middle plastic bit of the port has snapped off, I have some experience with hot air / soldering already, upon closer inspection the board appears to be missing 3 components, two I believe to be a DJ diode? https://puu.sh/FJ3Av/855a6ed5e1.jpg Will the console work without these? If not what are the names of each component so I can start my shopping list. Cheers!
Update: after using the PS4 for about a week there are no issues without the components so if anyone has the same issue, the PS4 will work fine withought them :)
An HDMI port can be bought new or can be found on many scrap equipment desoldered then refitted to your machine. As for the apparently missing components! it is likely they were never fitted intentionally by the manufacture’s. Looking at the print side if the pads are clean then this may be correct.
