Need help fixing PS5 HDMI port in Türkiye — what tools/materials do I actually need?

Hey everyone,

I’m in Türkiye and trying to DIY repair my PS5 HDMI issue. The console powers on but shows “No Signal,” and I already tested different HDMI cables + displays, so I think the HDMI port itself may be damaged.

I want to learn and try fixing it myself instead of immediately taking it to a repair shop. I’ve been looking at Trendyol / Hepsiburada / local electronics shops but I’m not sure which materials are actually good quality and necessary.

What I currently think I need:

  • HDMI replacement port for PS5
  • Soldering iron
  • Hot air rework station
  • Flux
  • Solder wick / desolder braid
  • Tweezers
  • Microscope or magnifier?
  • Kapton tape?
  • Multimeter?

Questions:

  1. What’s the minimum setup needed to successfully replace a PS5 HDMI port?
  2. Any brands/tools you’d recommend that are available in Türkiye?
  3. Is a cheap hot air station enough or do I need something better?
  4. How hard is this repair for a beginner?
  5. Could the issue be HDMI encoder/IC instead of the port itself? How can I tell?

Also if anyone in Türkiye has done this repair before, I’d appreciate recommendations for where to buy decent electronics repair tools/materials locally or online.

Thanks 🙏
