I get a lot of calls every week about broken HDMI ports on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Fixing those usually requires soldering a new HDMI port directly onto the motherboard.

At the moment, I’m not taking on those repairs — but that will change. Later in 2026, I plan to offer full soldering services for clients.

As I build my professional soldering skills, I’ll be sharing YouTube videos and blog posts documenting the process, the tools I’m using, the skills I’m learning, and the real‑world challenges that come with this kind of work. Stay tuned!
