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:

  1. Playing downloaded game
  2. Playing a Blu-ray
  3. 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:

  1. Wired all the pads before soldering the port. I attached the front wires after the port was soldered. Should have just done them all.
  2. A cheap grinding pen is so much easier to use than a knife to expose the traces.
  3. 0201 are very hard to work with.
