HDMI on ODROID-N2 seems to be dead

Hello. When I boot, I see this in my dmesg, among the hundreds of lines of output, and see no obvious errors:

CoreELEC dt-id: g12b_s922x_odroid_n2
Machine model: Hardkernel ODROID-N2
Memory: 3145560K/3891200K available (13182K kernel code, 2074K rwdata, 7964K rodata, 5056K init, 1428K bss, 135336K reserved, 610304K cma-reserved)

This system has worked like a charm for years, and I only use it to host my Kodi living room installation.

As of some weeks ago, the HDMI port was able to produce video output, but the sound was gone. All I could hear was some soft scratching noises. Then I went off on a trip.

Today I tried using Kodi, and all I get is a white screen (and no sound still). The ODroid box is up and running, and I can ssh into it – this is how I checked the dmesg output.

Can anybody provide any hints? Is this some well-known issue? Should I upgrade something? Is it toast?

Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers,

Gonzo

Not very strongly protected interface. I had one die on me when the plug on the TV was put under pressure. Very likely irrecoverable. I use mine as a headless Homeassistant server now.

Yeah…I think its time for a new device…

Definately the weak points in these devices.

Same for the usb3 hub. I have to use the usb2 OTG on some to keep devices from interfering with each other. Other than that I think they are really nice
