No Sound After Console Wipe / New Installation
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
Hi Guys,
I have a console in for repair that someone previously attempted to replace the HDMI port on. I won't lie, it was well and truly butchered and almost all the pads were ripped off with the port along with the tracks. Normally I'd turn this one away but I was genuinely curious to see if I could get it going again.
I replaced the port, manually wired everything in and it's working!
However, I removed the board after the initial test to apply solder mask and close it up again. It worked just fine up until I reset the console, at which I lost all sound and the resolution defaulted to 640 x 480. I do get the option to change the display to 720 / 1080 but doing this does not restore the sound. Baffled, I looked everywhere online for a solution but turned up nothing. I was able to restore the sound by selecting 'Video Fidelity & Overscan' and setting the display back to HDMI from DVI, but after resetting the console again, it simply defaults back to DVI. This has me thinking there's a hardware issue but I'm not entirely sure...
I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on the issue but I'll keep trying and update the post as I know more. Hope you can help!
Kind regards,
Chris
