You didn't pull out properly, now you're gonna have a mini-pc in nine months.
Ffs I spilled my breakfast
Better the cord than the port.
Having worked in the A/V industry, HDMI is the weakest video cable of all, there is a reason why pro video still uses SDI
Beta HDMI cable vs Chad VGA cable
DVI-D is my favourite. Same screw in mount of VGA, but digital with pins that require a hammer to bend.
VGA cables literally had screws on the sides to keep them in the holes they belong in
Well, it clearly works.
Until one of the screws magically pops out or breaks and then the other one has to shoulder the burden
Unmagunsafe.
Have they tried turning it off and on?
I had this happen to a mouse dongle on my work laptop once, the IT guy ripped it out with a pair of pliers.
Have been the IT guy with pliers before, it happens more than you would think lol
I'm always a little impressed. More raged-up hulks out there than you would think.
Looks broken to me. Not sure, should be tested.
NSFW tag is appropriate!!!
A familiar sight
Oh. You ripped it out.
This happend to me also, it's a long one, can you fix this
Pull it straight rather than at an angle.
