I have an older Samsung HDTV, and all three of the HDMI input ports on them are shot - they are so loose I can’t get a connection where the picture isn’t completely distorted.
I talked to a guy in the Geek Squad at Best Buy who seemed to know what he is talking about. He said they can’t repair them but all I needed was a HDMI to composite AV converter. I bought one, but I is not working.
I have Xfinity cable, so I am running the HDMI out from the cable box into the converter. It has the red/white/yellow outputs that I then run into the AV inputs on the TV. The converter runs off power from a USB plug and has the PAL/NTSC switch. But when I switch the TV input to AV it is just blank - says it can’t find an input device. I’ve tried both PAL and NTSC to be sure, but neither works.
Does anyone know what’s up? Should this work?
Thanks.
