How to Still use HDMI equipment on a TV with Broken HDMI Ports

- Hi, this video shows you how you can still use your TV with HDMI equipment using Full HD (1080P) even if your HDMI ports have stopped working. For approx. £10-£15 you can keep using your faulty TV by using a HDMI to VGA Adapter and also a HDMI switch.
Many thanks Vince - Jak na to + styl
Our TV stopped working this morning. We followed your tips, ordered everything off Amazon and we are back in business! We spent $25 and the picture looks great. Thank you for your video and saving us from having to buy a new TV.
I've got an older TV where the HDMI ports just went out and found this while searching for other possible options. I already knew what you were describing here, but it was good to see someone had made a video explaining it. I may be using my now defective TV in a similar fashion in a less used area, via an HDMI to VGA adapter. Good work and I bet you're helping a lot of people!
This is great. I "inherited" a 7-year-old 50" TV with all broken HDMI ports and I was about to get rid of it. For 25 bucks it's worth giving this workaround a try.
Thanks for making this video. In the US, San Diego, California, where I live, its even cheaper to do this simple fix. Loved the "hot-air" fix your HDMI ports video too. Keep up the great work!
Vince, I was having the "no signal" problem on my LG tv, searched You Tube for an answer and came across this video. I decided to try it since all the needed gear didn't cost much. It worked pretty much like you said and this solution will bridge the gap until I can save for a new TV. Thanks for your help, it got me out of a jam.
Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you got it working again :-)
I can I
That's the same thing I'm getting no signal.
My cable is good (HDMI). I THOUGHT it was the graphics card.
But that is also good.
So I'm leaning towards
The HDMI port.
This is a great video.

Thank you so much Vince... your fix worked like a charm! The HDMI ports blew on my LG 55LX6500 and I got zero help from LG customer service on how to fix or work around the problem. LG even denies there is a problem with the HDMI ports on this generation of their TVs. Their only suggestion was to call out a service tech which made no sense for an 8 year-old TV. Ordered all the parts you suggested thru Amazon for CAD$ 37.30, followed your installation instructions and within 5 minutes I had my Cable TV Gateway and my ROKU back operating on the TV. Again, thanks for the great advice!
Thanks Vince my lg tv just broke thought about resoldering when I found this video. I had thought about trying the method but never gave it much thought, thanks for the info.
Vince thank you so much for this video My Monitor HDMI port broke and I didn’t have the money for a new monitor but as I was searching for an answer I found this video and I found it really helpful so I decided to buy all the parts (expect for the HDMI switcher I bought a Coupler instead) from Amazon at a cost of $20 CAD and it works perfect I get 1080p with my PS4 and whoever comes across this video just letting you know this works 100% great advice 👍🏻👍🏻
You have literally just saved me £400 + great informative video, got all the parts for under fifteen quid and it worked an absolute treat, thank you so much 😊
What a beautiful voice! I wish I could learn about everything with an accented host! 😻 And now that I've finished, beautiful video, thank you Mate Vince! I've learned so much. I'm so glad I can resolve my old 55" connections.
Very clear concise instructions... easily found everything on Amazon and ordered it. It came to about $25 US Dollars. Way cheaper than buying a new TV and now I will have 3 HDMI inputs with remote. Love it. Thank you! I will let you know how it worked out.
Metta Clinical Management Hi, did you sort out the TV?? I think I need to follow the video carefully ...my Samsung hdmi fried a few nights ago with thunderstorms over Bristol, UK. Virgin Media engineer confirmed today...😕...so...have you been successful??
Excellent ! very informative and clearly presented. Thank you of all this information. I have been dealing with signal loss on a 50' HDMI cable to my other office (security system hook up) and I have been having a lot of trouble. I now know all the letters of the different cables and what they do and don't do. Thanks again for your video it was very helpful.
My HDMI port broke, just did this exactly like he said and it worked. The only issue i had is the my gender changer came with screws on the side that block it from being able to plug in on one side. Just used a regular VGA cable with male ends. Worked perfectly and saved my TV for 6 dollars on EBAY. This is probably the most useful, to me, video on CZcams ever. 👍
Thank you, thank you! All four of our hdmi ports blew at once and this was a quick and easy solution. ***UPDATE: 5 years in and we are still using this. Much cheaper than a new tv!
Well that’s unfortunate 🤣
did it work for you when you tried it?
@@naomielouifaite8537 Yes, and it is still working!
@@colleenbarney8671 that’s awesome I’m getting the my items today.
I'm so glad I found this video - was pulling my hair out with factory reset and that wasn't working. Will give this a go. Cheers
I didn't realise this, thanks for making the video I'm sure it will help people.
Great Video. Wish I'd seen this before I bought a Male HDMI port and Soldering Kit. I'm sure many are ignorant about the VGA workaround,, which I'll still use as I've only got 2HDMI's. Many Thanks.
thanks Vince, great video...clear and thorough!
hi Vince, firstly merry Christmas to you and your's, and secondly, yet another great work around video, thanks man.
Thanks mate, very much appreciated :-)

This may be my problem.

Thank you for making this video. I thought I would have to buy a new TV. With your steps my tv is working like new.
What pieces did you order?
That was a great video, Vince. We have this Blown HDMI problem on my LG TV and I'll be doing exactly as you described. Thank you very much as it'll save buying another Tele. Cheers mate.
It's so weird that ten years ago I would have been scratching my head wondering what the heck this all meant. I understood what you used (and for what purpose) you used all the gadgets for. I didn't actually know that this was possible before though. You are very clear and easy to follow. I watched a few of your other videos too. Thank you so much for making these videos.I also have subscribed to your channel, so when I have problemsin the future, I'll know right where to look.
Thanks :-)
Thank you SO much! I was able to get our gaming systems back up and running on our family room television - my kids thank you too!

@@mamajuju8825 lol
I LOVE you man!!! I'm going to try this tomorrow!!! Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for making this video. I was about to purchase another tv, until I saw your video.
I legit brought a new tv gutted wish i seen this sooner so hopefully I can get my old one back working because it’s better thank you x
I have an issue with one HDMI so this setting will help me compensate for the lost.
Thank You for the info.
Great! Thanks! I hate throwing out electronics. Realized my decades of hoarding connectors finally paid off :)
Thank you, thank you!!! This worked! I ordered everything I needed for under $20 on Amazon. 💕💕
Does your'e TV have a PC audio port?
Brilliant! Thanks for this, really helpful.
I had this problem on a Samsung TV, I purchased a used replacement board from ebay for £16, TV is now working fine on all HDMI inputs ;)
very good instructions clear and concise well done Vince
Yes, thank you so much, I bought a HDMI to RCA box with the charger and RCA leads and an HDMI lead for about £20. It worked for 2 days and now I gent get a picture. This was my last resort before selling my tv so thanks
This is insane,, And simple.. I love it.. I had a issue with the HDMI ports in my TV and couldn't connect my tv decoder.. Now I can connect it.. Thanks a lot.......
WOW, I might try that. 2 of my old LG tv HDMI connectors came away from the PCB. so I now have to use a 3-way HDMI splitter on the one remaining HDMI connector. When that one gives I will try your method to keep my 3D TV longer.
THANKK YOUUU!!!! Stumbled on this video and I just ordered the stuff! Hope it works! Thanks a million! ☺️
Excellent idea! Thanks for posting.
Thank you, I appreciate the information.
Perfect video and so well explained for someone like myself who knows nothing about this stuff but needs a solution for this same problem! Thanks!!
It worked great for my smaller tv in the room. I have the same problem for my Samsung tv in the living room but I don't see the connector you mentioned on this one? I wonder if there is another way for me to fix this problem on my big screen tv?
Vince is the best man I have ever seen!
Richard Durrant he’s cute 🥰
Toojolly _quan ok?
@@kkc2800 hi
Tried the new lead but is now showing INVALID FORMAT❗❗any ideas guys??
Very good video! I never knew that RGB IN would allow for 1080p input ! WOW ! That's good to know!
Thank you so much Vince ! Saved me from purchasing a new TV !! Cheers !
Do you have link for the parts pls
Many thanks to My Mate VINCE, My Hitachi Plasma 50PD9800TA started working on CADYCE HDMI to VGA adapter with Audio using VGA to VGA cable.
Thanks man👍this video help a lot, I was so close to throw away my T.V
Can you send a link to the one you purchased please
Thanks! Great video. I had this same thing happen and did almost the same as your video, except took the smart kid from Walmart's suggestion to run a vga computer cable (male on both ends) to connect from the adapter (plugged into the cable box) up to the back of the TV- works great. Then I ran an audio cable (with two RCA jacks on one end and 8mm jack on the other) from the cable box to the back of the TV. In this whole process I figured out another method that would probably be easier and cheaper- Amazon has HDMI to RCA cables that would also deliver hi def.
Tim is rca AV ?
Yes, it would come up as AV. To me the picture looks as good as hdmi.
Very good explanation! I'm try to do that. Thank you for make this video... and Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year! +My Mate VINCE
Thanks, it worked like a charm; I had to switch HDMI cable each time to secondary connector to watch other source; only one HDMI had audio

Good Job Mr. Vince. Applicable information.
Great video, perfect timing, I got a really nice tv for Christmas and I think I broke the hdmi 1 port on it by accident 😥
Thanks Vince, I always enjoy your fixes and tips. I have only one (of two) hdmi port working on my elderly Sony Bravia hd tv. I decided to use the hdmi switching box and remote (exactly as the one you show in this video) to switch between my set top box and an Amazon Fire stick into the working hdmi port. It works perfectly with the set top box but no display arrives at the screen when switched to the Firestick, regardless of which of the 5 outlet channels I plug the Firestick into. I wonder if you have any idea why this fails? Or any tip that may help?
Thank you for this video, it save me from buying a new tv.
Excellent video, very clearly explained. May I request you to give Amazon links to the different adaptors and switches that you have mentioned in the video so that I do not buy incorrect stuff. Many thanks
great info thank u so much it really was very very helpful
Great, clear advice - thanks
Still cheaper than buying a new tv good posting :-)
I currently have this problem, I’ll follow the steps. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you for doing this video! I thought I was going to have to pay hundreds to fix my hdmi outlets.
Cheers. Good information, thanks!
Thanks, man. I didn't realize VGA was 1080p. Now, I can postpone buying a new TV for another few years (hopefully).
Thanks so much for this!
Very good and informative video appreciated ❤
Thanks for the tip mate. Appreciate it
Very helpful! Thank you
Hi Vince, Thanks for this excellent presentation!!!! I followed all the instructions, everything went well, except that the Red color is gone. Mine is SAMSUNG LN46C630 about 9 years old TV. Any suggestions be helpful.
Absolutly excellent video
Thanks Vince, that's the way I want to hook it up. Because I have 2 devices that are not wireless. And TV isn't using composition it keeps saying no signal, I'll bet I've got half the parts stored away
This was extremely helpful thank you 🙏
Can you send a link to the one you purchased please
Finally I can see you I don't know why you hide always from camera nice video
GOOD WORK VINCE
true
Very informative. I think when you translate his English to American English he says throw it all away and buy a new tv.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!
All comcast customers should watch this video.
Haetch DMI Also most people use the audio in/outs for other equipment the switch and the tv only allow one input at a time, so your surround system must use whatever the tv connection is. can be done but anyone that needs this video to figure this out wont be able to do it on their own
Proper top guy
Much appreciated
Thanks for the help!
Super video thank you
Damn this is a old vid, and the first time I’ve seen your face. Hi Vince!!
Thanks really describing how to do it
Thanks man!
If you choose the male hdmi with female vga AND the audio output, you can avoid purchasing one more adapter. I found several on Amazon for $8.00 even including a mini-hdmi to usb and the 3mm audio. Works wonderfully. And the hairdryer solutions you read about? My electrical engineer friend says it's NOT the chip that is fixed by the heat but the micro cracks in the solder in the board, that expand and reconnect once heated. This way it's permanent.
Going to try this out. Wish me luck!
Merry birthday
I use a HDMI to VGA adapter for my PS4 to my monitor and it works fine at 1080p the only complaint that people may have is that the maximum resolution is 1920 X 1080 and 60Hz I think and although most people including myself don't care about the 60Hz maximum refresh rate as anything above is kind off unnecessary especially if it is being used on a TV.
Thankgod. LG service center guy said I need to change entire main board to fix hdmi port . Now I am able to use my hdmi devices .. Just 10 dollars fixed my hdmi requirement.
Very nice video very helpful.... Thanks
I rather like that listening to him.
Literally about to throw our TV out due to a blown HDMI (only one avaliable) going to try this now thanks
Liked & subscribed. Another related question, could I hook up an old PS2 with composite to VGA into the TV to improve quality? Brilliant, working through your videos, very helpful mate 👍
Excellent! Thanks!!!
Thanks. Just saved me having to buy a new tv
I'm very glad i found this video now i can keep using my piece of s**t TV for a little while longer while i save up for a new one
Came expecting how to hack an hdmi port.
Instead Told to use rca cables.
I have heard that component video is capable of 1080 but interlaced not progressive which you can also get adapters for that also I'd say that component is more common then VGA
Excellent tip I'm dealing with this problem now.I have a Vizio tv with a broken HDMI port that is connect a Firestick.Question how do I connect the VGA Adapter to obtain a picture and audio of whatever I'm watching from them Firestick?I don't want to throw the tv away.Thanks in advance
this is good info and may use. My issue connecting a brand new Fire stick to a friends TV. TV has 3 HDMI Ports and none recognize the Fire stick or my older Fire TV. But the TV has an HDMI feed for cable TV and that feed works in all 3 HDMI ports so the ports ate not bad just do not recognize brand new fire stick or older Fire TV. Connected brand new Fire TV to bedroom TV and worked fine. My use this setup as the 55" TV in living room is older and has those ports to work around the no signal issue. Just really confused how and HDMI Port would recognize 1 feed and not another. Thanks again
Thank you!
Hi Vince I have just come across this video as I have just started to watch your great channel. I have a brand new 32in bush TV and also a hdmi splitter as I am running sky, a chromecast dangle, a blurry player and a ps 4 and only have 3 hdmi ports however when I use the splitter I am getting really bad ghosting on the ps 4 channel when sky is on. Is there a way to clear the reception?. The splitter has a rf receiver with the splitter
You came through for a lot of people, my friend.
Ahhhh!! You have a face!! I watched loads of vids and this is the first time I have seen this face-to-camera one.
Same haha
SAME OMG
Merry christmas to you and your family and all the best for 2017.hope to see a lot more vids in 2017
Thanks mate, really appreciate that. Have a great 2017 :-)
Hey Vince I love you man!
