@bryanbecker you will have to tell us at least which game console you have. The other thing to consider is that you post a couple of pictures of your HDMI port. That way the experts on here can identify any issues Adding images to an existing question

Couple things I notice here. I don't know the history of this device, but the port has definitely been replaced. I'm unclear as to whether you're trying to sort out the issue, or you replaced it, but it's not working. The thing that sticks out to me is this spot in the picture. I cannot tell if this trace is broken from the picture, but it looks like it may be. I would look closely to make sure there was no damage to the electrical line coming off that pin. You can check for continuity using a multimeter if you have one.

To test the integrity of the port install, you can make sure all the pins are solidly attached to the board. You can try and wiggle them gently will some tweezers or any other fine point metal tool. I would expect them to be more uniform and there should be no wiggle if poked with some tweezers.

This video is a good example and very clear view of a good solder job on one of these.
