In this video, I've been sent a faulty PlayStation 4 which isn't displaying on the TV. Suspected faulty HDMI port.

I'll be attempting to replace the HDMI port. Wish me luck!

I've never repaired one before, Can I Fix It?

Hope you enjoy!

Its crazy how the production quality has increased from 2020 to 2022. When watching videos from 2021/2022 its then hard to go back to these, but still entertaining.

I really like watching your old videos I don't know why though, I think partly because I can see how much you have gained in confidence and experience over the years and how the format of your videos has changed over time. Before you even had Dave to help assist you.

My Alexa also explained TMDS when you asked. lol

Wow!
Watching this in 2026, the channel has gone such a long way since!

well that was freaky - you set off my Alexa and I got two different but similar answers at the same time lol

Lots of things I know you'd do differently now, but the fact you still got it working in spite of this was the win you needed at the time I think.

Your soldering skills have come on in leaps and bounds in the last 4 years Steve 🙂

Very nicely done, good job Steve 👏 funny to go back now and see your set-up then to what it is now.. nice to see the evolution of your channel and set up. Really appreciate your perseverance and your slow methodical approach, re testing each time and going back over your work. Nice

I am now the proud owner of a AstroAI DT132A. Have already fixed 2 solar lights. One the switch had gone. The second the battery was toast. from little acorns grow the oak. "One day lad, all this could be yours! "What the curtains?" No seriously, So grateful for the instructive videos and the humor
In true Stez style.

In the not so distant future, this machine will be emulated on a blob inside a retro controller.

Felt like a “real” project you could get into. Nice.

My alexa started citing something about the Tokyo fire department. Thanks for that. At least I learned something.

Fantastic video, was right their with you all the way, was a bit heart breaking when it didn't turn on after you re-flowed all the pin pads but then you figured it out, good to know that we need to check for continuity at the pad and not the pin, I want to start doing this level of repair after watching your videos!
