Faulty HDMI port driving me nuts!
I purchased the S905X for one purpose and that was to replace the old notebook I'm using for a media center. I have managed to get an image of Armbian to run on the board but if I so much as breathe on the HDMI connector, the video signal dissapears.
I have tried multiple HDMI cables but get the same result every time.
Sometimes it comes back but after a couple of slight twitches of the cable it will then just start displaying a full screen of a solid colour. The only fix for this is to reboota nd it's a crap shoot if I get a signal. This board is useless to me without video!
Should I seek a refund or replacement ? Purchased from LoveRPi on Amazon.

2) Try another display to see if it is a compatibility issue with the display timing.
3) Buy another board and see if the new board doesn't have the issue. If it doesn't, just return the old one to Amazon.
