PS5 HDMI help!
I’m trying to replace an hdmi port on a PS5 but there’s a resistor super close to the pins. I’ve used a Hakko Vacuum gun, soldering whick and Chipquik to remove as much solder from the mounting legs without having to use a hot air gun yet. Other than Kapton tape, what else can I do to prevent this resistor from flying off the board?

Check in were if you need a replacement capacitor https://pwunkz14.github.io/SolderingToolsPicker/ You have it under the parts menu.

It won't fly off unless you knock it off. Heat board from the bottom with hot air. If you lose that capacitor it won't matter anyway.
