Hello guys,

The HDMI on my motherboard has stopped working. I was using it as a htpc connected to a tv via hdmi. The Sky box was also connected via hdmi to the same tv. All of a sudden, something went pop in the sky box and the sky box never worked after that. I opened up the sky box to recover the 2TB hard drive and noticed the pcb around the hdmi connector burnt out. The tv hdmi connectors no longer work and also the motherboard hdmi is dead. The motherboard is under warranty. Would it be dishonest to claim warranty?
 
Probably yes. And depending on their testing, they may figure out the HDMI port had taken abuse. You have nothing to lose by trying though.
