My TV HDMI ports suddenly stopped working. I bought this to use convert HDMI to AV but this only showed bad black & white picture. Any ideas?

Mine worked right out of the box without having to use the USB cable for power, it gets it's power from the HDMI cable. I have a great picture & good color. It is possible you defective one, I would try it on another TV getting it's picture from an HDMI cable you can test into this and the video input.

I purchased this and I haven't been able to get it to work yet. It took more than 3 weeks to reach me and I'm now emailing a person who really doesn't speak English very well. If you want to try it go for it but you may have issues...

Be sure to flip the switch on the converter and/or connect it to a portable charger via the provided USB cord and it should work. Mine did after all the trouble shooting.

Black and white picture may mean you're outputting in the wrong format. Make sure you've set the switch to PAL or NTSC (depending on the HDMI source)

That happened To us and we had to use an hdmi cable and it fixed the issue. We we used a cord connect the cable box to the TV instead of the hdmi, we had that issue. Hope that helps!

I am usuing a dlp HDTV with the component cables. I had to manually lower the screen resolution in the android settings to get it working smoothly. I hope to get my HDMI port working soon however on my TV.

You have to put it in HDMI-for use as a computer monitor.Other HDMI inputs,won't work.Check your tv,owner manual,on input devices.Another thing is,is that you hook everything up,before you turn on your computer,otherwise it will show wrong format,on your tv screen.

Did this work for you also?I have just purchased the TV and it keeps blanking out on HDMI, it is really bad happens every few minutes.Did the firmware help you?

If using an antenna or basic cable this is usually the result of a weak signal or a faulty/loose cable. If using HDMI could be a bad cable or loose connection. Try unplugging and then replugging the cable. With digital TV you either have a perfect picture or no picture at all.

I'd say it's defective as well. However, what device(s) do you have hooked to it? If you are trying to use 3D over it, it shouldn't work as this device is HDMI v1.3b and not v1.4. If you have multiple devices hooked to it, unhook all but one and try the different ports, it could just be a faulty port or even a bad cable. This is a great little device, I put mine in place in early 2013 and have 3 devices hooked to it, a dvr, a blueray player and a computer. I have never had too look at it again, it just keeps on working. Even if it is defective, I'd try another one because of the low price.

Think you might have got a bad cable have you tried it on more than one device and checked all hdmi inputs on tv? Unless I got lucky and ran both of my cables the same way they work both directions never heard of a one way hdmi cable before.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

No this works the other way around. Look for an HDMI - AV converter...(make sure it has DHCP support)

I would try a different HDMI port on the TV. Some tv ports are not equal to others in the earlier TVs. The message sounds like a TV issue.

check and find out if your TV has the AR(audio return )feature on it. My TV does, but only one HDMI is dedicated for this feature not all. So the best thing is to get the manual instruction of the TV and explore about the inputs of HDMIs or go to your TV and look for one of the HDMIs to have a ARI printing on it. if you don't see it, it means that your TV is not equiped with that feature. I hope that I have answered your question. Good luck

Have similar issue, seems the hdmi out port is to blame, changed all the cables (several times) to no avail. This started after only 6 days, bought because of a relative small number of problems, only to encounter one myself. I have yet to find a fix and not willing at this time to have it repaired will prob send back for a replacement

I would try a different input, such as a component cable. Something like that happened to my other TV. My house was struck by lightening and it traveled through the TV cable. Destroyed the cable box and the HDMI ports on my TV. It's the only thing I can think of, other than a repairman.

I tried rca to vga and it did not work. I didnt bother to send it back. Figured it was worthless!

The 3 USB ports are not active at this time. A promise has been made, some time ago, that a future update will cure that. Many are doubtful they will ever be used. Recommend using the USB from any number of HDMI connected devices; and work around in that way.

You must buy a converter. The capability for hdmi is available the the cables are not. Must buy converter.
