In reply to Waleed Rishmawi.

Unfortunately, my wife is suffering from numbness in the right foot and she cannot climb up a train or bus. Moreover, I cannot leave the home unmanned, especially when many unique antique sets are pending for repair. Appointing a watchman is of no use and there is no guarantee. If these are available in the market, one can buy it give it to the customer, in the event of a theft. But these are very old and antique sets some of which are rare collections of the customers. My computer shows that I have around 32 sets pending to be cleared as of today. Anyhow, thanks for your advice!

Good Job! Waleed
using proper Material is must, Because critical part for removing are connectors & sockets traces are get easily peel off from PCB on over heat.using good quality flux is make work easy without damaging trace.

Albert: I do not trust everything that sells on Ali Express. if I want to buy something I would first check the comments what other say about that stuff then I will make a decision based on that. I had a low melting stuff that I got from friend of mine in USA and so far, it is working a like a charm. I am glad you were able to fix that HDMI port for there are very hard and so tiny to do but it worth the while. when you get used to doing it all the time it becomes so easy and you will be amazed how good the outcome is. have a blessed day

I still do most similar repairs without low melting solder simply because I haven't found the right solder that really works! Last time I had used such low melting solder from Aliexpress to desolder and replace my broken HDMi connector it only made it worse!
Luckily I was successfully able to repair the HDMi port and all its 19 copper tracks on my 27 inch Philips monitor afterwards.

I feel jealous that you get so many chances to do service to your own family; something I really crave! Once I even gathered all my tools and made a trip to Chennai, where most of my relatives are living, (a 12-hour journey by train). I could do a lot of service there sitting in my elder brother's home, who himself was an electronic enthusiast. This was many years back. Anyhow, good fix by a professional approach! Congratulations!
