I was connecting the HDMI to this monitor and it suddenly came loose for no reason. I've had it for several years. Is there any way to fix it? I don't need to use it.But I am quite fond of it as it is a gift, can I do something?

It must be cold.
You could solder it back on.
you ripped the entire connector off. either you solder a new one into that place or you buy a new monitor.
You ripped it off. It is fixable if you have the right tools, but if you have to ask about it then you probably need to bring it to a professional.
How on earth that port detach itself from circuit board?? If it’s just a bad soldering job that caused detachment, you might be able to resolder it (maybe). But it’s just hard to tell just from outside. You will have to open it up & assess the damage first. who knows, it might a easy fix.
I think you should carefully take the monitor apart and extract the HDMI socket that is now floating around.
otherwise you’ve got a piece of metal kicking about
There was never a HDMI connector there, there are no pads on the mainboard.
i think your cat must have eaten it.
That’s what happens when you shove display port into an hdmi port
They stole your HDMI port. Can’t have shit in Detroit.
I can only say one thing and that is how In the actual fuck.
ngl, that’s amazing.
it might be possible to solder a connector on but I doubt people’s ability in this sub to do that. lol
Average sysadmin experience with end users
It broke off the board.
That’s bad for a bunch of reasons.
Elvis has left the building…
Depending on your monitor’s capabilities, you should consider a female to male HDMI to VGA adapter. If all you need is 1080p at 60hz, it should suffice.
You accidentally bought one with a hideme port instead
Obligatory have you checked your carbon monoxide detector;;) lol
It’s a relatively easy soldering job, probably just needs a new port.
But asking about it means that you don’t have the skills or tools needed, so just bring it to a repair shop.
HDMI gnomes.
They always pull stunts like this.
Its gone MacReady.
What?
Its gone.
As others have mentioned, you need to solder it back on if possible. If you can’t do this or can’t get someone else to do so, an alternative if you want to keep using a HDMI port is to get one of those adapters to convert the VGA to HDMI
Thanks for all the comments, I’m getting the materials to weld it back, I hope it doesn’t explode.
Cant have shit in detroit
The borrowers got to it.
It was probably the borrowers!
You’ve HD’d your last MI
HDM-no
Monitor privileges revoked
For no reason…
*Looks at scratches around HDMI port*
HDMBye
There wasn’t a hole here. There is now.
Usual Asus quality lol.
