HDMI port is not working

My laptop's HDMI port seems loose. Whenever I adjust the monitor, the connection flickers or cuts out. Initially, I could find a position that held the connection stable, but recently it's become much worse.

I opened the laptop to inspect the port for damage, but couldn't identify the specific issue. Unfortunately, ASUS service centers in India seem unable to replace just the HDMI port, and instead want to replace the entire motherboard.

Here's what I'm wondering:

  1. HDMI Port Replacement: Is it possible to solder a new HDMI port onto the motherboard even if ASUS doesn't offer this service? Are there resources available that could guide me through this process? (Note: Soldering requires advanced electronics skills and equipment. It's a risky option for someone without experience.)
  2. Display Converter: Can I use a converter like an LCD to HDMI adapter to bypass the faulty port? This would involve connecting the converter to the laptop's internal display cable and then plugging the monitor into the converter's HDMI output. Are there any reliable converters that wouldn't compromise the resolution or refresh rate for gaming?

While I saw USB-to-HDMI adapters, reviews suggest they have limitations on resolution and refresh rate, making them unsuitable for gaming.

Since your laptop is older and you're considering a new PC anyway, replacing the motherboard might not be the most economical solution. Finding a reliable converter could be a more cost-effective option for extending the life of your laptop until you build a new PC.

It looks like this laptop has an optional USB Type-C port on the back, between the HDMI port and DC barrel plug. If equipped, that Type-C port is capable of native DisplayPort output, which would actually be superior to HDMI in terms of resolution + refresh rate. You would need a simple USB Type-C to DisplayPort adapter if your monitor does not have a native USB Type-C input. If you prefer using HDMI (or if that is all your monitor supports), I am confident you can use a similar USB Type-C to HDMI (4K@60Hz) adapter with good results.

However, if your laptop is not equipped with that USB Type-C port, then I would agree that the trying to adapt the USB Type-A ports would be inadvisable since those ports are not wired for display output. You could look into eDP (embedded DisplayPort) to HDMI/DisplayPort converters if you don't need to use the laptop's internal display. That port does have the capability of outputting at the same resolution or greater than the original HDMI port, as long as the converter itself is capable of that. The HDMI port on the laptop is HDMI 2.0b, so look for eDP (you'll have to figure out which kind your laptop has) to HDMI 2.0b if you want a direct replacement. Make sure whatever converter you get is compatible with your laptop's panel, which you can find the model of using a tool like this. Not all eDP is wired the same, so make sure that the converter is wired the same as your laptop.

In terms of replacing the HDMI connector itself, that would be extremely difficult and risky to perform, unless you have experience as you mentioned. My best advice, if you do have to go that route, is to spend a good chunk of time researching on YouTube and watching tutorials of people performing these repairs. Then, if you can, see if you can practice your soldering skills on something less valuable/easier to work on before attempting such a repair.

Hopefully these tips help, and best of luck with your repair endeavors!
