I have a problem with the hdmi port. I connect a hdmi cable to the tv and xbox 360 or to my Samsung Dvd player. Nothing would show on the screen. I tried using a different brand new hdmi cable and still it wont show anything on the tv. But when i connect a hdmi cable to my tv and to my computer using a Hdmi to Dvi converter it does work. The boot up screen shows up and it works like it supposed to. I tried connecting my xbox and dvd player to a different tv and it does work as well.

- Yea it only has one hdmi jack...

would buying a hdmi switch fix it?

- What i meant was to buy like a external hdmi switch that would send the signal to the tv instead of waiting for a signal. Because like i said when i connected a computer via the same hdmi port it works perfectly. And since a computers video card sends a signal instead of waiting for one i thought maybe a hdmi swith would help.

Something is wrong whith the HDMI jack it's self, or the electronic switching is not sensing a signal is present. In either case the board that has the HDMI jack you are using needs to be replaced. Most all these boards are double printed, Multi-layered or both which prevents replacing the jack it's self. I do have a question though, do you only have on HDMI jack on the unit or do you have another one available.

- You cannot replace the switch, you must replace the entire board that the jack is mounted to because the board is doubleprint and/or multi layered.
Hope this helps
