Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi there,

Yesterday I received my rasperry, and tested it whit the debian flavor, connected via HDMI>DVI cable to my monitor, everything working fine. This morning, I tested the video port instead HDMI, creepy image quality but worked too. After that moment, i can't get the HDMI output working (i unplugged the video connector first, of course), the only i get in my monitor is "no signal". Looking for info about this issue, i found that the problem could be the file /boot/config.txt, but i have not such file, the /boot directory is empty. Finally, i loaded the distro newly in the SD, but HDMI remains not working.... can you please help me?

Thanks in advance.

PD. I apologize for my creepy english.

1) Are you absolutely sure the HDMI cable is secure at both ends? Wiggle it a little bit. If you can, try a different cable. Try the troubleshooting section below under "Interference visible on a HDMI or DVI monitor". Let us know how it goes!

ps. Actually your English is better than some native speakers.

Hi again,

Unfortunatelly, I´m afraid I found the root cause:



As you can see, one of the contact seems to be bent, and other one (just below) a bit broken . I don't know how could this happen, i tried to handle it carefully… do you think is possible to purchase a spare HDMI port and solder it to the board? I was planning to use it as media center, but, without the HDMI output… no way

Thanks again.

I read on here that all the boards are tested before dispatch. This includes inserting cables into all the various sockets so possibly they could have damaged at the testing stage.

Yes, it was ok when i received it, sadly, I damaged it, but i don´t know how…
