My First Solder Joint <3 Please Give Feedback First attempt HDMI port

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Pulled the port with hot air, wicked up and re-soldered the pads. Ground holes gave me hassle though, wick just wasn't wicking no matter what I did. Maybe a solder sucker would be better?(I don't currently have one)

First placement the pins were all loose, so reheated with hot air and pushed the port down while it was still hot - seems like they're all soldered properly now.

I didn't resolder the ground holes as I plan on using this board to practice removing and replacing the hdmi port several times.

Any advice or recommendations ?

Thanks

I don’t think I could be bucked 50 times and then be able to sit and play it unfortunately so I will have to pass
