Not inflammatory no worries, and I have. It's a head scratcher, and a lesson to me. It happened when I disconnected and reconnected a cable while the system was turned on. I thought maybe the HDMI port or chip broke because it is something that can happen, but the fact that I am able to get an initial picture with the help of a box tells me that the hdmi port is actually intact as is the graphics chip. So, maybe it's a HDCP thing. Could be that a HDCP chip is burnt out or something.. I have ordered a component cable and will take the system over to a tv that has component to see what happens, and if I can reset the hdmi if I am able to boot into component first.
