50 foot HDMI cable won't work anymore from pc to projector why ? I tried everything

[pcslookout]

This is weird my 50 foot HDMI cable I bought from monoprice won't work on my pc to my projector anymore.



It use to fine.



Doesn't make sense.



It worked fine with a roku when I tested it.



The other spare HDMI cable worked fine as well from my computer to my projector too.



I am lost for words.

Try adjusting the end to see if it's a loose connection? I had a projector at a client with an HDMI port that was too loose to make a solid connection.

probably the the ends of the connector have been slowly tearing over time, especially if there's a major bend somewhere in the cable. I tend to use long runs with thick cable (24awg or so) and they do tend to start dying after a few years probably from heating and cooling cycles in the room and running them along the wall and around sharp corners.

see you get what you pay for!! You should have bought a Monster gold plated HDMI cable...…..

My advice? Get a Cat5e HDMI extender kit. Then, if/when the long run of Cat5e starts to screw up, replace it. IME, a 50' run of Cat5e is relatively cheaper than a 50' HDMI cable.
