I have no idea the right section to post this, but can an LG tv hdmi port be repaired or changed without changing any board or panel? Mine started acting up like 3 days ago, it would be working then all of a sudden start distorting/ flickering , I tried other ports and they are all doing the same thing, while other things are working properly, my USB, my AV chords are all working except the HDMI. What can be done?


It's a LED LG 70-inch

Yes. It can be changed.

Today's electronics are modular in nation. It will have to be replaced from another TV and you may pay much for it

like how much might I have to pay for it? HDMI ports can not be bought separately right?

Do a self test before you attempt taking your tv to any Repairer eg test it with 2 different working HDMI cables then if problem persist look for a good repairer.

You can buy a converter.

i have done that, tested it with the HDMI cable that came with it and another that came with my other TVs, I think it's the port itself .

Yes. Its a module, it is mostly like a board, it will likely come with other ports like av ports, USB ports and others. As for the price, I don't knw. But it may be close to 20k

Update , took it to repairs after a series of brushing my hdmi port, , Found out it's from the cables, they are faulty. Shaky.

It's good that you found out that it was not the port. I was just about to post that you should make sure before taking it in for repairs. The probability of the HDMI port going bad is very slim. Only in the rare case of a direct lightening hit to the house/electronics (at least here in the US) have I heard of the HDMI port going bad.

thanks man, they do get bad, it's all over YouTube, but those times it's a fault of the CHIP , I think they solve the issue by heating up the chip and it serves for another month.

Update:: incase any one experiences such I found out the real culprit of my hdmi issue, it wasn't even the cable, I bought a new cable and it happened after awhile, I then decided to set my xbox one and pc one resolution to permanently stay on 1080p instead of auto switching between 720p and 1080p and it seems like it's been automatically fixed. Been playing video game for about 2hours now and I am yet to experience any flicker
