How Our Technicians Complete Your Repair
Teardown & Liquid Metal Containment
Console is disassembled down to the motherboard. Technician carefully seals and contains the factory APU liquid metal pool to prevent spillage across motherboard traces.
Multimeter Diode Mode Diagnostics
Using a precision digital multimeter, the technician measures diode drop values across the four HDMI differential data pairs and 5V line to confirm an open or shorted circuit inside the encoder IC.
Micro-Soldering Rework
The motherboard is heated on an infrared preheater to 150C. Hot air at 360C is applied to cleanly lift the defective Panasonic QFN chip. Pads are wicked smooth and a brand-new IC is reflowed into place.
Bench Testing & Thermal Reassembly
The video handshake is verified on an HDMI 2.1 diagnostic monitor at 4K 120Hz HDR before replenishing APU liquid metal and reassembling the console chassis.
