My hdmi chromecast got bent as a L form when my kid pushed the TV backward. Tv was ok.
I crack open the cast and notice that half of the HDMI connection was separated from the cast board. So I bend it back straight making sure that the connections was touching the board properly but did not solder it cause it takes time and extra effort. What I did i added the extension cable that came with the cast and use duck tape to make it stay straight cause it was wobble a little bit.
Glad to say that I have a perfectly working chromecast, the only downside is that is a little bit longer that before cause of the extension cable. But hey I'm happy it works :)
