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.
excellent idea... upvote for you.
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.
