Hey there guys. I was going to send my PS4 in for repair because I wanted a new power socket for my mother board. The old one ripped off while trying to take out the power box to re-paste the PS4. So I searched online about the issue and people were saying I needed to solder it so that's what I tried to do. I payed $55 bucks for the soldering kit just to have plastic and a bit of solder get on my mother board. now I'm getting charged $80 bucks for repair and I still don't know how much it's going to cost to ship a PS4 to them. i heard it was about $70 bucks. In that case you best believe that's going to be a useless PS4, there's very little plastic on the mother board and about a finger nail amount of solder on the mother board. Can I still repair this? Or is it even messed up. I dont know untill they attach a new power socket. I'll keep you guys updated if anything happens. Thanks for all the support. One more question for anyone who has ever sent out a system about how much did it cost you. Im sending it through usps

I just melted the soldering off it. The soldering was the size of my finger nail but the plastic is still is melted on it. If any of you guys know how to post pictures please list the steps. I know the plastic it's melted above the mother board because I can see through the plastic a little bit and I can see the mother board patterns underneath.
