my computer hdmi port (that was working perfectly fine last night/ this morning) has stopped working. (The hdmi itself is connected from the graphics card to the tv as of now). I plug it in connecting it my ps3 and play that for a bit. after a while I got bored of playing the ps3, connect it the hdmi port(motherboard). I think i may have been a bit rough with it and now i'm not receiving any input signal from the tv. Please help

Try a different cable if you suspect you mat have damaged it, borrow one from another device. If that fails be sure you have rebooted everything, sometimes HDMI out from a PC can flake in and out for no apparent reason

thanks for the assistance. I had another one some time ago but i lost it this is only hdmi available. I have turned the computer on and off but it still won't give an input signal. I have also tried turning it off and on again to no success.
will i have to buy a new motherboard or anything drastic?

somehow I doubt you ruined the HDMI out port on the PC, but if you did you could just buy a cheap video card (assuming this is a desktop and not a laptop) as long as the PC has an available PCIe slot open for it. Does the video control panel on the PC show that anything is connected as a second monitor, if not see if you can force it to detect something. Before you buy a video card buy a cheap HDMI cable from www.monoprice.com for a couple of bucks, or borrow one from a friend.

the situation is so much worse now. the graphics card won't work with the hdmi
i unplugged it out and in over and over. is the hdmi cable just fucked now?(it still works with ps3 so i'm guessing not)

if the cable works on the ps3 then I guess the cable is ok. If you really need HDMI out I suppose you could get a DVI to HDMI adapter and then run a separate audio cable to the TV or else just get audio out of the PC speakers if they are not too far from the TV.
