HDMI Question

Red October1984 · 06-12-12, 04:10 PM

My laptop has an HDMI port, but, theres this rubber thing covering the plug. What is this, what is it's purpose, and how do i remove it?

Should be in the PC forum - but it sounds like its just a rubber cover. Can you take a picture for us to be sure?

I would, but i dont know how to post pictures.

I forgot about the PC Soft/Hardware forum. I'll try and post a pic.

Sounds like it's just a cover to protect the port from accidental damage and dirt. Should just lever off.

Edit: Got it. Found Dowly's video. Here is the pic.

Before you go pulling it off - what is the model of the laptop. I'd rather make sure that is what you think it is before you pull it.
