HDMI Crimp

[Howard B]

Unfortunately we have a HDMI cable hardwired in to the walls and the end snapped off. 

 

Has any body attempted crimping a new connector on to a HDMI cable? if so any issues with quality?

 

 

TIA

Never seen one. A very fine 19 core cable and very fine pitch connector would not be easy even if someone sold one.

There are solder repair connectors available but I've never used them. Will need a small iron with fine tip.

I don't see any instructions.

Also google "repair hdmi" without quotes for other ideas.

 

Crimping is probably best but the tool isn't cheap and might be connector specific?

We had a similar issue a few years ago.  Both HDMI leads within a month of each other.  I googled, I watched you tube then we hacked away at part of the wall and fed through the new cable where we could.  It was a nightmare.

Thanks for all the replies, I think we are going to end up ripping it out and putting in HDMI over Ethernet so save from future issues.
