When I took this thing apart, there was NO refinforcement whatsoever other than a useless heat shield which curved around but put all the stress on the most vulnerable part of the port, the plastic. Seriously, plastic, why not ceramic if you are charging 700$ for a system, at least use the ceramic ones. This is exactly the reason I am never buying a new system ever again. Brand new PS5 collects dust and why an HDMI port that barely got breathed on's plastic center broke off like a twig.
