[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 5730668, member: 32303"] I imagine it is a similar problem to all those broken USB charge ports on things over the years (something like [URL]http://www.sertdatarecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/pads-lifted-from-usb.png[/URL] ) -- you have a bunch of pins at the back and usually four small ish feet soldered onto some small pads (which may only be bonded lightly to the substrate) and they call that a mechanical join. I could go into further detail and talk about creep and mechanical loading (said four pins against a rotation about the pins or edge of the connector is about as bad as it gets) or cascade failure (one pad goes and suddenly the other has double the force applied to it) but it would not really serve much purpose here. Do you know anybody familiar with electronics repair for it if is that then they might be able to do something about it. It will be a quick repair if it is fixable and they will hopefully just have to tack down the solder pads again, if not then some epoxy or super glue should help if the pads have been lifted from the substrate. I hesitate to suggest it but you have a space HDMI cable you can shove in there that will rest against the back plate of the graphics card to keep the port down then it might be a good idea. Taking it back to the shop. You could try but they would probably argue that you broke it, and indeed you may well have if there was force on the cable. It could have been a manufacturing error that caused it but it will cost you far more than 300 Euros to find that out and possibly take it to court. Displayport adapters would be an option if the mechanical failure of the HDMI port does not lead to further issues. I do not imagine it will and any further failure will probably be limited to said point but I would be lying if I said I have not seen extenal ports get ripped off and take out a circuit in the process (usually by taking out a ground path between a few points in a circuit but not limited to that by any means). Back on topic you might want to read up what said displayport adapters can do -- it might be less than what the HDMI might have done (especially for audio) but if you just want a 1080p or lower video signal then you should be fine.
