Yes, i think it's a hardware problem.
Quite a common fault on Openboxes.
They are cheaply made boxes so that's what happens sometimes.
I gather the scart or AV options are still working ok ?
-
yeh the a/v output is still working no problem there, do think if i gave it to someone they might be able to fix it, i know someone that could fix it cheap if it's possible
-
probably broken solder connections on the connector,which requires a hot air soldering setup.
Assuming the connector itself is still good. -
yes very common fault, I've had two go the same.

There is also a possibility of a software issue with these boxes when it comes to the hdmi output signal..for instance i have noticed after a reboot on these crap boxes the picture will not display although the tv does recognise the hdmi connection/ after switching the tv on and off the picture is displayed again tho.
Maybe too simple a fix but just thought i would mention it.
