Correct model identity matters
The source filename and board footage identify this as a Series S, confirmed by the technician. The page therefore does not repeat the older Series X folder label.
The connector was replaced without trace work
The board connections remained intact enough for a straightforward HDMI socket replacement. That distinguishes it from cases where impact removes pads or copper tracks.
Electrical readings supported reassembly
Diode values were checked after the port work. This step helps identify missing connections or abnormal paths before the console is closed.
Final output included sound
The completed console was checked on a monitor for display and audio. Both were present during the recorded final test.
