OK the short story is my TV died when I was plugging in an hdmi cable from my computer.
I had previous plugged it in with the TV switched on, and sometime unplugged it.
Some other info, there are 4 hdmi sockets, after a while I developed 'sparkling on the screen on the the usually socket so I switched to another and all way fine, then that to developed sparkling. I was getting worried as I only had 2 sockets which worked perfectly left.
Anyway I was trying it in one of the not so good sockets when the TV died (black screen).
I had suspected the stress of plugging had caused problems with connection (delicate tracks I would imagine, easilly damaged).
I also noticed my computer had crashed as well, reseating the graphics card cured that (its a bit lose) maybe that was part of the problem with the TV dying, I do not know.
The manual says to switch TV off and other device (sensible I suppose) but I guess you have to switch one on first.
I note the 5v power pin on the hdmi cable is made slightly short, this seems pointless if you connect first then power on. I guess it might make a difference unplugging the device with the power on though.
So do you always power off first?
Anyone one else had problems with hdmi socket?
