Even getting a HDMI port replaced is stupid expensive.  I wish I didn't suck at soldering.  I need to practice more.

Need a hot air station for that. And patience. New people learning tend to tear pads. Gotta get good with a multimeter and other troubleshooting tactics to do more repairs. Hardest part is getting schematics so you can see what is supposed to pull from where etc. if you’re just blindly replacing things it won’t go far. You can find apples schematics pretty easily. You give me an acer, asus, or any windows device/graphics cards. It’s gonna be a lot more. Finding those schematics for the precise revision is a headache on top of a headache though
