    Need Help Sourcing HDMI connector for GPU

    I have an MSI Ventus 3X OC nVIDIA RTX 3070 with a damaged HDMI connector. The display is recognized but no display output due to the damaged right-side of the connector. I've got the board apart and the back of the HDMI connector is stamped Astron. The problem is that their site has 30 pages of HDMI type A connectors (http://astron.com.tw/eng/product.php?idt=1&pid=3&cid=1). Does anyone know how to determine which part numbers are compatible and then where to source them?




    Also, I have some experience soldering but this will probably be the most challenging task I've tackled so far. I don't think it's out of my range though. I have a hot air station, solder wick, flux and solder, though I don't think I have the right type of flux or solder. If anyone can point me in the right direction on either the part or the supplies I'm going to need, I would be grateful.

    Can you post pics of the backside and pin area of the connector ?

        I have calipers so if you need specific measurements, I can provide those.

          Based on my search on the Astron page, it's either one of these two. I'm just going by the pictures though.

            Based on the outside-to-outside measurement of the spring (17.52mm) it's this one http://astron.com.tw/pdf/369FA19-0N058D-H.pdf (Astron 369FA19-0N058D-H). If I'm not wrong, the two questions that spawn from that are 1. Are there any others that are compatible? and 2. Where can I buy one? I doubt Astron just sells individual connectors.

              One way is to search in Ali Express, and compare the pics with yours. Some sellers also include dimensions on the pics.

              Other possibility would be Digikey / Mouser

                OK, I'll start digging. Are the pin mappings between the mating pins and the board pins pretty standard or do I need to pay attention to which pins on the connector map to which pins on the board? I looked at Digikey and Mouser but neither of them carry Astron parts that I could find. I'm OK with another brand, I just need to figure out whether it's a matter of matching the dimensions or if I also need to pay close attention to the pin mappings.

                  This one seems to have pretty identical dimensions (based on the drawing on mouser), but it doesn't have the EMI spring. Should that matter? https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...JtTAz3Bw%3D%3D
