This is amazing! Super easy and it really works! :D Thank you very much!!! I had an old HDMI to VGA adapater rolling around. Wanted to use it to connect my PS4 to a projector and it didn't work. Followed this tutorial, soldering the red wire of an old USB cable to pin 18 and the black one to "GND" pin. Tried it again on the PS4-Projector and works like a charm!
Shiiiit I was going crazy coz I just bought my ps4 and I have just sold my tv coz I will get my self a new one but I wanted to try it on my computer display which has VGA only and I had the same adapter that you had. I have studied IT so I know a lot about soldering and electrical components so I tried the method you showed us and it fuckinnnn worked!!! god, you don't know how happy I am now I just stared at the display for 5 sec like an idiot and couldn't believe that it worked! thank u very very much sir you really saved my day and a lot of frustration. thank you again
ZouZou Khazma i am not sure, but i can CONFIRM that this method works 💯 percent and it’s-worth trying you won’t loose much but be carful when soldering the pins cause u don’t want to solder to of them together and may damage Hdmi output
My hdmi to vga has a single resistor, 3 caps, central controller, and an unused Diode, capasitor and an audio and power jack. Looks like it is a PCB That can be both ways depending on what is soldered on. Not as intricate as the one you have.
En mi caso el HDMI venía de la salida de un decodificador de video cable digital y no tenía la corriente necesaria. Funciona perfecto, tenía duda en cuanto a los pines ya que el 18 y el 8 no estaban marcados y el circuito difería del que sale en el video. Para no errarle vi que hay un integrado AMS1117, es un regulador de voltaje, conecté la alimentación externa directamente a su entrada. Me solucionó el problema
I can confirm this works. Add 5v to non-powered(active) hdmi to vga adapter and PS4 will work (Because PS4 low power output hdmi port). I have a questions: Did you fully de-solder, or did you just barely melt the solder pad and let the wire stick into the melted solder and harden?
Ok, thats what I figured looking at the solder blobs. I accidently pulled out the pin 18 and ground wire from my adapter I have and now need to buy a soldering iron.
You were doing pretty good before the tape. Just tie a knot in your power cable just inside your enclosure like most manufacturers do and it can never be pulled out without needing any tape.
GRIGORHS you need to have a adapter with a 3,5 mm sound plug in it otherwise you won't have sound. or you need to plug in you headphones to your controller.
Dear Please post the wire arrangement ..because all wires broke and don't know where to connect these wires...please if you have video...please share the link.
when i plug added power to the usb plug, the ps4 suddenly power off, after restart ps4 can display to my vga monitor. But, when i want to use direct connection using hdmi to my hdmi monitor, it's broken, no signal, i think the hdmi ic got short, please help..
first of all thank you for your instruction. i cut a phone charger cable and successfully soldered it. now i can connect my ps4 pro to my old vga monitor. it's also working without ground. my question is what happens if i don't solder ground?
Hi, good video! I've a problem with a HDMI-VGA converter (with integrated 5v). Whe I use it with my PS4 I notice that left channel is reversed with right and right is reversed with ground.. So when I pull off gently the male jack I have the right sound! Can I mod the converter? Thanks
Great! I have a question: If i have another adapter, how can I find wich pins needs to be supplied with 5v? and in any case, how do i know it's 5v or another v? Do i have to measure it from the hdmi cable to each pin with a tester? Thanks for the video and sorry for my english!
i use this mod but doesn't work, also after a while, my HDMI 3 to 1 splitter also doesn't work. idk what happened but maybe i has to buy the adapter with power cable ==
Sir, I use a MICRO HDMI to VGA WITH AUDIO JACK converter, and I only use the audio jack, for monitoring audio on a mirrorless camera using headphones, and it works. it's just that when micro hdmi is connected to the camera, the screen on the camera turns off. So it is difficult to operate it, Can I disconnect one of the cable pins so that the video transfer is not active ?? .. And what cable from the pin should I disconnect ?? .. Sorry if my English is bad, because I use Google Translate.
Hi Loved watching this video😊 But i aslo have a question In my cable it shows pin 18 And pin 8 is not there but instead there is 1,3,,5,,7,9 !! So what is the solution? Thanks
Help! totally noob bout this .. i have a different HDMI-VGA i did found the pin 18 but cant find the pin 8 for the ground..any suggestion bout the 2nd wire?

Im trying to connect to and old CRT. After doing this work for a while but after restart the PS4 i got black screen on CRT. What is the recommended screen settings i need to put?.
@@AllesOverApparaten and why not? XD. Because i play games with this on my 22' inch Philips pc CRT. I like the colors on It. Have fully black color. My Xbox 360 for example looks so cool on It. I can play perfectly to the 360 at 720p, that its the maximum res supported, but after make active the converter only one time i can make fully visible the PS4 on the monitor but dont remember the settings i put on that moment.
This is my CRT monitor specs www.philips.es/c-p/202P40_20/qxga-realmente-plano-de-22-pulgada/caracteristicastecnicas and the max resolution is 2048 x 1536 a 80 Hz
It can get it a bit warm but you should be able to touch it without a problem. Otherwise you may have to check the wires. maybe you soldered the 5v + wire to 2 joints at the same time. Mine gets a little warm too though.

This actually worked, haha. Even though I decided to buy a new screen since the old one was too low in resolution but this method worked with my PS4!
SNES Classic Mini with VGA adapter needed this mod! Saved me from getting an active adapter. Thanks.

How can make it to two pins?
Just cut off the green and white wires. Those are data wires so you don't need them.

DiAbLo GAMING google for hdmi male connector pinout and then find that soldering point with multimeter on adapter
Is he using a charging cable but when I cut my charging cable it shows 4 wire he has only 2
use the black and the red wire
Use black and red one. The others are Data wires.
🤦♂️
Mine says GND
is that ground?
Yes
ThePlatinumSupporter Np. However I highly recommend to ground it just in case it short circuits so that it won't damage your device
🤦♂️
Works for me but can it damage the PS4 system???
No
this is pointless - HDMI has already 5V at 18 pin, lol?
Its for something like ps4 which doesnt provide enough power for the converter.
Yes it works thanks bro

For the ps4 it needs power input. But you can buy a vga adapter with the power supply, no need to mod.

how can i replace the hdmi port if its broken please?
if you have a good enough soldering iron you can resolder the port.
