HDMI outlet seems to be bad/ no picture

I have a 40" samsung flat screen TV and the hdmi stopped working. I thought the cable had gone bad so i went out and purchased another and that one did not work either. So, my guess is that it must be the hdmi plug in on the back of the tv. When I plug it into the dvd player(also samsung) all i get is a blinking blue screen(no sound. When I plug the hdmi into my cable box and turn on the tv I get a picture for about 2 seconds, then a quick green screen and then nothing. however, I do get sound when it is plugged into the cable box. TV works fine when I use the component(yellow/red/blue) cables.

    Hello, you recently posted that I need a main signal board replacement for my LN-R408D 40" led tv. Just curious, what are you basing your answer on and do you think it could be as simple as replacing the hdmi connector? The tv works fine using the component cables.

    also, any recomendations on where to get the main signal board replacement and how much it costs?

LED TV screen goes white from time to time

You might want to make sure the HDMI cable is fully plugged at both ends of the cable and try a new HDMI cable. A marginal cable will occasionally drop out the picture.

I definitely hope that you have gotten this resolved, but if not, here are some reasons this could be happening. If you have tried the same HDMI cable on other devices, such as the PS3, then it sounds like the problem is in the HDMI output on the receiver. Have you tried another HDMI cable in a different input on your tv? It could also be the input on the tv. But so far, it does sound as though this is a receiver issue, and the receiver would possible need to be replaced. You can e-mail me if you have any additional questions. My e-mail is [email protected].

Intermittant disruption of Picture and Sound on View TV/HDMI only

If i am not mistaken you can select the HDMI signal going out on the 663, this means you should select to have only pictures to go out as sound will have to be reproduced by the 663.
So HDMI output setup on the 663 should indicate image only, no sound.

Samsung HDMI issue

Have you try to replace your HDMI cable?I recommend you to pick up a good Monster HD700 HDMI cable from a local retail store like best buy or circuit city.In case it isn't the cable problem,you could return it.
However,when you are a using the HDMI cable,it is normally either have both picture and sound or nothing at all.Are you sure you didn't hook up the audio OUTPUT from your TV back to a receiver input?
Or even an optical output from the TV to the receiver?
