At our state-of-the-art repair center, we expertly handle delicate HDMI port issues for premium devices like the Pioneer Elite VSX-92TXH receiver. Recently, a customer brought in a unit where the HDMI input ports had mysteriously ceased functioning after the removal of the HDMI port board (AWX8871). Although the output port continued to operate, all three input ports had failed, leaving the receiver with diminished functionality.
Upon thorough inspection, our skilled technicians noted that while the board appeared to show some damage, it still retained the design integrity expected from its factory construction.
