HP Envy 17 1050e HDMI port broken - do I have to replace the whole motherboard?

The HDMI port on my hp envy one day just fell out - I assume it has been pulled or pushed too hard. It looks like the ports are directly connected to the motherboard, can I somehow just stick it on again or buy it as a separate part or do I have replace the whole motherboard to make it work again? Any instructions are very wellcome!
Thanks!

You need to bring that to a computer shop that has someone with a soldering station and good soldering skills. The will also have to ascertain how much damage was done to the mother board. Those things just don't fall out. It have to be ripped out. If the pins just sheared, a new piece could be soldered back in after they unsolder the parts of the pins left behind. If the mother board is damaged in that area, you may not be able to use HDMI. It will depend on them being able to repair the broken traces and you would have to be in a good shop for them to do that. That may be time to search eBay.

Mac Mini HDMI port broken?

I have a Mac Mini Mid 2010 that has been acting as a media center / small file server. It's been running Plex, FTP and VPN services. It has been hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-921 receiver with a HDMI cable since day one, and it's been working beautiful.
Then yesterday evening, switching to the input of the Mac Mini, I got "no signal". I double checked all connections, made sure the computer was actually running using remote desktop. Everything seems fine. I switched the HDMI cable with an Apple TV i have in my bench as well, the cable is fine.
So I went looking for problems on the Mac Mini. Under displays, I no longer have any HDMI option for output. Same with audio. It's as if the computer simply doesn't have an HDMI port any more. I've tried the classics PRAM, NRAM and SMC. I've checked for updates. Nothing so far.
I'm slowly coming to realise maybe my motherboard has gone bust. As the computer is over two years old, it's well beyond Apple warranty, and it's a month over the extra year long european consumer law, so I'm not expecting to get much help from Apple. Especially since I've installed my own SSD in the Mac Mini. That was done in the first few weeks, and everything has been fine for two years since then, so I do not believe that matters. But they will.
So, before I do anything else, like consider reinstalling the computer, getting a new motherboard, throwing it out or buying a new one. Is there anything else I should be checking before proceeding?

Further testing shows the Mini DisplayPort doesn't work either. It shows an extremely grainy (in a digital way) white with the Apple logo on boot, but then stops sending signal. So basically the only way for me to access the computer is via remote desktop, which also makes it impossible for me to re-install the computer. Worste case, I'm locking myself out of my own computer.
I'm quite convinced the motherboard is to blame at this point. Weird how it can just break like that. Nothing was changed, no cables touched, the computer hasn't moved for 24 months. Damnit.

IPad's screen was broken. they will just replace the screen or replace the whole iPad

iPad's screen was broken. they will just replace the screen or replace the whole iPad？

Apple does not repair iPads. They will issue a replacement. But a screen does not break on its own. If you caused the damage to the device, you will have to pay for a replacement

On my HP Envy ultrabook 4, hdmi port will not connect to my av receiver.

Good Morning @marcop86
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a grand place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that when you connected your ac receiver to the HDMI port on your Ultrabook 4 that you just get a blue display..
It does work when connected to your old computer.
What Operating System is on your old computer?
Is your ac receiver supported in Windows 8.1?
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates?
Have you checked the manufacturer's site for an updated driver?
Here is a link to Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8)?
Have you tried a different HDMI cable?
If you would like further assistance, please provide the model of your ac receiver and the exact model of Ultrabook 4 you have.

How to connect apple tv when the hdmi port on my tv is connected to the hdmi modem

I just got at&t uverse tv service. The modem is connected to the hdmi port on my tv. I bought a 4 in 1 out hdmi connector box, but don't know if this will work. I've tried plugging the apple tv into one of the in ports, but I can't get it to work. I've tried plugging both the modem and the tv into the out box and other components into the in ports, but it hasn't worked.
Has anyone ever run into this problem where the tv hdmi port is used and apple tv requires an hdmi port?
thanks,
Joan

USB port....need to replace the motherboard or whatever holds the USB in place

the USB port on the lower R side of my hp pavillion dv1000 notebook pc....when I try to plug something into the USB port, the port goes in. I need to replace the USB port. I don't know if it can be fixed or if I have to replace a motherboard or sisterboard or whatever the USB port is connected to. Any ideas or advice and how hard is it to fix it. I don't want to get rid of the laptop because it still works great. I can burn and play cds and dvds on it. I can use the WIFI to access my email. Other than the USB port connection needing repair...it runs great. Please advise or help. Since it's out of warrantee since 2007(purchased in 2004) hp will not give me any support or tell me what part I need to replace etc... And it would cost more to send it out to fix....around 400 or 500. So I want to get the part and have my friend put it in. Please advise/help.
Angie

Post your full model number and I will see if it is a replaceable part.

HDMI Port, Wrong Color Space, Here MIGHT be the best solution.

So, I've been searching the forums, and couldn't find the solution. Today I finally found the fix.
I had been trying to find a solution to this problem where a monitor is attached to HDMI and the Mac Mini [late 2012, 6,2] thinks it is a television and uses the wrong color space.
Doing some google-fu, I stumble across this site:
http://ireckon.net/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-quality -of-an-external-monitor
I followed the fix, and bingo.. I can look at my monitor again without my eyes bleeding.
Thanks ireckon.net, you saved me.
PS... if this solution has already been found, Forgive the double post. It seems a lot of people are still looking for it.

Fantastic post, tip, find... thanks!

Ipod 5g earphone broken do i have international replacement warranty

i am from india I bought ipod touch 5g from USA on april 25,now its earphones are broken,there is a low volume coming out from left earpiece comapred to other and bass is completely gone ,what can i do.did apple have international warranty ?

Yes, thesy should exchange it at not cost.
Have you tried another pair of headphones? Mabe there is a problem with your iPod.
If not work with another set of headohones
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
-Contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider

My headphone jack is broken because I have to twist the headphones to get them to receive the sound, my ipad is rented out to me from school, how do I fix it without resetting the ipad?

It's my schools ipad and I have to turn it in by summer but this ipad I will have for the next 4 years so if I could have some help it would be nice.

Someone within your school - or district - is the focal point for IT, and that person needs to be made aware of the situation. Whether the school can perform repairs on its own, has a third-party to do so, or returns the device to Apple for repair or replacement, you need to notify the person responsible. Too, before any sort of repair is considered, you should back up all data.

HDMI Port Problem

H,
I have a HP Envy dv7 running Windows 8.1 and until recently my HDMI connection to the various TV sets in my home has been ok. But recently problems have been occurring. The TV screen flickers badly, audio problems and sometimes it says No Signal. I have used several differnet HDMI cables so i know it is not the cable, it can only be the HDMI port I believe. I don't think it is wear and tear as the Laptop is only about 16 months old, but if it is cannot the port be replaced?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers.

Hello OddjobBob,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the HDMI port appears to be faulty, as indicated by your descriptive post. Unfortunately, you cannot replace the individual HDMI port on this model, as indicated by the product's maintenance and service guide.
At this point, I would take it to a local repair shop, or call HP directly. If you choose to call HP, you can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!

How to connect Apple TV when I have run out of HDMI Ports?

I have a Sony Bravia TV with 3 HDMI Ports - in those I have connected:
- Sony Home Theater Surround Sound
- Playstation
- Sky Digital TV HD Box
Is there a way to connect Apple TV without disconnecting any of the above? (and without buying a new TV with 4 HDMI ports!)

lkrupp is correct, the only soution is to add what's called an HDMI switch to your setup. The HDMI switch normally has 2, 4, 6, or 8 HDMI inputs and one output. The output goes to your display. You then select which input you want to choose.In your case, you can do one of two things:
Connect all your sources to the HDMI switch. You then select sources via the HDMI switch and you no longer need to change HDMI inputs on your TV.
Disconnect one of the HDMI sources you have (let's say it's the Playstation) and plug both the Playstation and the APPLE TV into the switch. In this setup you need to change the input on both the TV and the HDMI switcher.
The simplest setup in your case is to buy a 4 or 8 port HDMI switch and put all your devices on the switch. If you are looking for inexpensive HDMI switches, you need to look at Monoprice. The stuff is all manufactured overseas and can be hit or miss but it's the cheapest that you'll find. If you feel like you need some guidance and help, then try www.hdtvsupply.com. They have a good selection and great support.

Is it normal for the HDMI port to only transfer image to a TV but no sound?

I connected my Macbook to my TV via HDMI and it displayed the images but no sound. The sound was stil coming from the macbook and I had to use the headphone socket to broadcast the sound to external speakers. Is this normal or should the HDMI port take care of both? If the latter then is there something in preferences that I need to change to make that happen?

Did you change the settings in System Preferences>Sound and select the TV as the output source?

Considering AppleTV, not enough HDMI ports

I really want to get an AppleTV, because I've got a boatload of iTunes TV and movie content on my Mac, that I want to watch on my TV. Also, some things like the NHL package and other stuff is kind of cool.
But, I've got an HDMI port problem, and I'm trying to figure out what to do.
My sound system has 2 HDMI IN ports, 2 optical sound ports and 1 HDMI OUT ports. Both HDMI IN's are being used, and the HDMI out goes to my TV
I have Airplay set up with my Airport Express that uses a AUX line from the AE to my sound system. I either play music from my iPhone/iPad or directly from my iMac.
My TV has 3 extra HDMI IN ports. But it has lousy sound (hence the sound system).
I was thinking that the best solution would be to run an HDMI from AppleTV to my TV for video, and use an optical cable to run sound to my sound system. I just want to make sure that this will work, that AppleTV is smart enough to know that the HDMI is just for video and the optical is going to carry the audio stream.
Alternatively, I was thinking that video would still go through the HDMI to my TV, but audio would go through Airplay through my Airport Express? I'm worried that there would be just enough of a delay between the video and sound through WiFi to put my video and audio out of sync.

OM
I have Apple TV with HDMI to my TV which I get video and sound via the TV. I also have opical audio to the soundbar from Apple TV. I can use just HDMI for video and sound through tv, HDMI for video (turn tv sound to 0) and soundbar for audio via optical audio or even just audio from the soundbar with TV off (need tv on to navigate frst!!). Apple TV 2 with Samsung TV and soundbar all works great.
So short anser, yes your idea should work, just the apple TV won't know the HDMI is just video, you have to turn the TV sound off yourself.!

HP Envy 17-1050ea - Second hard drive size?

Hello
I've recently bought a refurbished HP Envy 17-1050ea and want to add a hard drive to the second drive bay. Online forums and information suggested that I required a 2.5" drive. So, I've bought a 1 TB drive and a suitable drive bay caddy, opened up my laptop and found that the drive is physically too big to fit: it looks like the bay is for a 1.8" drive.
Have I massively misunderstood something here?
Thanks for your help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay, Mumbodog, it's time for me to be embarrassed... I rewatched a video online and I've overlooked that the hard drive fits underneath the ledge that's there. It was a tight fit due to some foam rubber buffering so it wasn't trivial, but not too arduous either. I've finally got it working and the drive's formatting now.
I'm sorry to have wasted your time over something that I should have checked more thoroughly.
Many thanks.
