Hello. I got a slim CECH-3012B, KTE-001 board with no display on the hdmi port.

I noticed that two of the pins of the port have a solder bridge, anyone know if this is normal or could it possibly be a manufacturing defect?

Nope, this shouldn't be normal. This kind of bridge disrupts the DDC communication line, which prevents your PS3 from retrieving your screen's EDID and parameters such as its native resolution. It also prevents you from playing HDCP content (Blu-Ray films for example).
