Dennis van den Broek@pointerfunction.bsky.social15 Aprmade sure to prep the area with kapton tape, as these boards are HUGE heatsinks, and didnt want to accidentally melt anything else around it…15
Dennis van den Broek@pointerfunction.bsky.social15 AprThe swap itself was easy. I prep the port with a little solder to the hdmi connector pins beforehand. Once the old port is off, I clean up the old solder with some wick, heat the area again and drop the new on in place.15
