Hi @elmo1234 ,

Hopefully there is enough slack in the cable to allow for a new connector to be wired in.

Here’s a video that shows how to wire a HDMI connector that may help.

It also may depend on what type of HDMI connector is being used.

Connectors are also available from here and here (supplier examples only)

if doing this yourself seems too daunting contact a reputable, professional electrician who also does data, TV wiring, security installations etc and ask for a quote

Hi @elmo1234

Referrals are too subjective and are usually not acceptable on ifixit as it is mainly a DIY forum where people can offer advice on what you can do to fix the problem yourself.

Here’s a link to some services in your area who may be able to help you.

Check their reviews and then go with the one you prefer.
