    Possible HDMI Port Damage With TV Stick?

    So I've been using an Imito QX1 on my 42" LCD for quite some time now. I recently tried to hook up a PS3 to the TV with the same HDMI cable from the QX1 and the TV would not display the PS3 at all. I then tried different cables and resetting the PS3 video without any success. I even tried a different PS3 console. The TV just refuses to display PS3 video now no matter what HDMI resolution I set them at. These PS3's work fine on other TV's. I know I had a PS3 working on this TV about a year and a half ago.

    Is it possible that long term use of this QX1 has damaged my HDMI port? I know this outputs slightly substandard video, and I always have it at 720P because 1080P mode causes tons of lines all over the screen. Also I had it on 50hz 720p setting for quite some time. I understand there are issues with these sticks and not working on all TV's at 1080p especially.

    Longshots...

    Do you have only one HDMI port on your TV? If not, have you tried the others? Is there a display setting in your TV that is not allowing the PS3 to display? Does your TV have a reset button or procedure?
    These are just shots in the dark, just some thoughts.
    Good luck.

      Thanks for the suggestions. I have reset the TV to factory defaults and the HDMI port is still not working properly. Yes, there is another HDMI port that is normally used with a satellite receiver and this port is working fine when I test it with a PS3.

      Some more testing: I also have a Sony Bluray player, this also has no video in the bad HDMI port. The TV stays on Blue screen as if no signal. So I have no Sony devices that display anything at all on this port. I then tried an Xbox360, this only partially works, there is video but no audio on 720P setting. When I select 1080P the video begins to strobe and glitching artifacts on the screen. There appears to be no physical damage to the port connector and I tried 4 different cables.

      It seems there is real IO logic damage the the TV's motherboard for this port.
