5 year old lcd tv... 3 hdmi ports all failed. WTF do I do with the stupid thing?
Manufacturers are assholes.
Throw it in the trash where all tvs belong
Use some compressed air and the smallest bottle brush you can find to clean out the ports.
Especially If you're a smoker the ports could be dirty.
Not a smoker... And i was an electronics tech years ago. The ports are enlarged and wont hold the cables. I tried finding replacement ports to solder in but non are correct.
Go rogue, cut off an hdmi extender cord to a short dongle and solder it in.
That sucks, once you have to find replacement parts it's generally not worth fixing. I have a 12 year old desktop that I don't want to replace until it dies as a new motherboard would cost more than the thing is worth.
