Epic's HDMI Port Broken, Fix must or Just keep it

[Yux_L]

Hi, My ECPIC just got a crash on its HDMI port
It still can work with +1 adapter w/monitor or VF but I am worry about it
Looks not so bad through monitor but I am wondering should I fix and How much it may cost

Thanks for anyone helping

prob one of the most common things they need to fix. its not really easy tho. I think most red stores have people who can fix it

How much it might cost?

All I know is that the boards can cost from $800-$1200 to replace. Not sure if the ports are attached to the boards.

1000 bucks for a HDMI well, might be a very memorable lesson

Ouch.
The DSMC2 platform hopefully will solve the camera repair troubles associated with a broken port since everything is located on modules now...

Ports are connected to the board, so that's a swap out. You will probably need to do it anyway (when you upgrade or sell). I had the IO board replaced once. It was 1500.00 for the board and 375.00 for labor.

Yep...$1000+ modules.

IF it will be 1850 I will might just do it by myself, actually it still working

Some modules like the jetpack are actually under 1000 and what I meant is that you can probably find a replacement faster to keep shooting versus sending you brain for repair... And fixing a broken HDMI on a module will certainly be cheaper than what it would costs on an EPIC brain today.

Jetpack is $950 right?

I agree though that swapping modules is better than shipping brains.

But may I asked when did you fixed it and what is your problem?

A little off topic but just for perspective, replacing the HDMI port on a Canon EOS 5D MKII will cost you $1500.

I hate HDMI, with a passion, for that exact reason.

Good luck!

so if i whacka IO module on the back of the cam, will this still work, with my board being down?

has anyone dropped the board out of there camera before and started trouble shooting and repairing? seems pretty simple its just 4 allen/hexkeys for access
