I'm trying to fix my mom's computer and would like to get some help.
The hdmi port hasn't been working for years and I don't remember when or how it happened. I opened up the computer, cleaned it and checked that the graphics card is connected well, It's hd radeon 5750. Pic related is what I get when I connect it through hdmi and I get no picture when the computer loads up.
What are my options?

It's dead and unfixable.
You could try baking it but it's likely dead.

>Windows 10
Found the problem, OP
Elijah Harris
The GPU is broken
Just get a cheap replacement or use onboard
Leo Bennett
I thought about baking it but it had a lot of plastic parts
Andrew Hughes
Try a new graphic card if you can
Joseph Adams
It has this problem from before windows 10 even came out
Charles Evans
nigga that gpu is ancient. Anyway what mobo/cpu you have?
Luis King
Or try onboard graphic if you have
Angel Richardson
What is the cheapest option? All I need is a hdmi port
E6500, I don't know about the motherboard
I have onboard vga but it doesn't work.
The dvi port on the graphics card does work, it's really werid. I think a thunderstorm fucked it up about 6 years ago

find a used geforce 210 with the ports you need.
Aiden Long
Graphics card is friiiied, replace it
Benjamin Jones
>What is the cheapest option
use DVI since it works. You can use dvi2hdmi cable if you want to connect to tv (GPU will recognize it as HDMI and audio should work too).
Henry Walker
It's the exit of the matrix. Dude take the redpill and jump into it
Connor Hernandez
Audio through dvi? Are you fucking with me?
Jaxson Foster
Is that a Sony TV? If it is, you may need to send full RGB through HDMI or you'll get a green screen... Or your gfx card is damaged.

>What are my options?
Try to boot an external OS through USB.
Slitaz or Xubuntu.
Nolan Kelly
Why would I? It's just a digital port, it doesn't matter which one you use on the GPU, what matters is the connected device. If it's a TV via HDMI port, even if it's connected to DVI port GPU will still recognize it as HDMI device. At least it works like that with my geforce. Don't know about radeons, but should be the same, radeons are usually more advanced and support more recent standards.

Post pictures of ur mom. If she's hot I'll help u out
Brody Parker
Likely the connection to the HDMI is shot on the board. If you had the skillset you could attempt to resolder it but I'd recommend just buying a used one off ebay. ebay.com
Xavier Sanders
ur supposed to bake the motherboard not the whole computer, you silly goose
Grayson Reed
dvi does not have enough pins for sound though
Nicholas Perry
It's a panasonic and I tried on another tv and it didn't work
can't do that without seeing anything. I can't get the bios to post through hdmi
same answer^
she hot
you linked to an auction that ends in 5 days :/
The graphics card has plastic parts
Matthew Thomas
Where do I buy a new hdmi connector?
Brandon Wood
Audio DVI does work. Try it

It's not like there are dedicated pins for video and audio in digital interfaces, only bandwidth matters. It won't work with analogue DVI but it should work with DVI-D (which is the only possible mode for DVI-HDMI connection anyway).
Grayson Murphy
I do think that I have an analogue dvi. How do I check? It works with dvi to vga so I think that's a bad sign
Easton Morales
After some reading I think that I'm going to buy a displayport to hdmi adapter. Do I need an active or passive adapter?
