What the symptoms may tell you
No signal can come from the TV input, cable, display mode or console. Bent pins, a loose connector or no picture on several displays raises concern about the port.
Safe checks to try first
- 1Try another known-working HDMI cable and the correct TV input.
- 2Test a second display if available and note whether the console powers on normally.
- 3Look at the HDMI socket with a light without inserting tools or forcing a plug.
What to avoid
Do not keep moving a loose connector to regain a picture; this can worsen damage. Do not attempt port soldering without specialist equipment.
Next step
Send the console model, photos of the port and results with another cable or display.
