I Fixed MY HDMI Connector

[Jim5506]

Reading through old posts I saw where one poster (DSKinTX) had taped his HDMI cable on his 622, pulling the connector to the left (viewing from the rear) and it came back on.

So, I pulled mine to the left and bingo, it lit up. I proceeded to place a medium sized rubberband around the HDMI cable approximately 1 inch from the back of the 622 and put the green component video plug through the other end of the rubber band.

Now my HDMI is working. I can't guarantee it will work for long, but for now it works.

Make sure you pass that on to Dish tech support.

They'll be mailing out rubberbands by the millions.

That must explain why rubberband futures are skyrocketing on cnbc.

Yeah well either way you need to have them send you a replacement one at some point and time.

This is funny! Whatever works I guess but you should have that receiver replaced. The HDMI problem is a hardware problem and the only way to correct it is having the receiver replaced.

That's why the rubberbands are in demand.

D*mn, I should have sold all my mutual funds and invested in rubberband futures yesterday. Dow Jones is down 360 points today.

if only they would let you pop the motherboard out, and repair the solder, even if it would save them money!

Watch, DISH will get sued for there rubberbands putting peoples eyes out

Nevertheless, nice that yours is working now!

How much is the rubber band enabling fee?

How much is the rubber band enabling fee?

Only $5.99/mo. However, if you sign a DHA agreement for 25 years you will get a rebate of 99 cents/mo.

Thats exactly what I did. You need a very fine pitch soldering tip however, and a steady hand
