    HDMI Ports not working - is there a fix?

    Hello.

    I have run into a couple TV's over recent time where the HDMI ports do not work but Coax does. Is there a reset to fix this problem or does this point to a defective main board? Just curious if there is a solution...

    Thanks in advance!

    Could be anything would need diagnosing, so no point replying with anything in detail.

      I have seen a LG TV with the HDMI connector tabs not soldered to the board so only the surface mount pins were holding the connector in place. The connections would eventually disconnect or the connector break off entirely.

        Depends on the main board. Load some pictures up so we can see something.

          If none of the HDMI ports work I would focus on the HDMI interface chip, easy to damage plugging PC's in and out (especially ungrounded desktops which will have mains/2 on protective earth caused by Y-caps in PSU)

            I've had luck on changing the 144pin HDMI switchIC on my LG main board when I lost all my HDMI ports, while all the rca jacks worked. Same goes for Gaming consoles, as the PS3 and PS4

              GIGABYTE X299 AORUS ULTRA GAMING - SATA PORTS 4-7 NOT WORKING ???
              by DynaxSC
              Hi,

              I have the above mentioned bord after repair, which was related to a lot of missing smd devices on the back of the board.
              There were almost 20 devices missing, caps, resistors and some diodes/mosfets.
              The board is generally working now, all PCIe ports are working, Windows installs normally.

              However I have a problem with SATA ports 4-7 (the board has 8 SATA ports) - disks are not beeing recognized by the BIOS neither by Windows (which is usually normal in case BIOS does not recognize them).
              The SATA 4-7 driver network is quite simple chipset<->buffers/drivers<->SATA...

              Samsung UN50MU6070FXZA - HDMI Ports Not Working
              by grimacelord
              Hello. Samsung UN50MU6070FXZA here with both HDMI ports non-working. I have already verified multiple sources and multiple cables to ensure it isn't something simple like that as well as resets and software updates.

              I took the mainboard out and gave it a look. Nothing looks bad or burned. All of the HDMI pins are nice, none are broken at their pads either.

              Following the traces, it looks like both HDMI ports trace back to the main CPU which does seem to get hotter than I think it should despite it's (rather poor) heatsink.

              Since the HDMI controller appears...

              HDMI ports not working - Panasonic model number TX-P50XT50B 50"
              by BadTelly
              Hi,

              Suddenly all HDMI ports stopped working on a Panasonic 50" TV. This is model number TX-P50XT50B and has worked fine for years.

              The TV turns on but no joy on either HDMI-1 or HDMI-2 and I've tested it using an input device and cable that works fine on another TV via HDMI.

              Thank you in advance for any help/ advice.

              Kind regards,

              Bad Telly

              Philips 55OLED803/12 HDMI ports "half" defective
              by Wittie
              Hello everyone, Please excuse my poor English, but I'm using Google Translate ^^ I'm having a problem with the HDMI and USB ports on my 55OLED803/12. It's no longer possible to connect an HDMI device and see the picture. No matter which port I use, it only recognizes the device as an input source and displays it in the list (BD player, Fire TV, etc.). However, the actual picture doesn't appear in the same state. My home theater system also runs via the BD player - it still receives a signal and plays the sound correctly (e.g., from the TV program or an app like Netflix). This works with both HDMI...
