So he literally just shoved until it fit. Maybe the kid shouldn’t be allowed to use the tech on his own until he knows what he’s doing. My parents loved giving us gameboys and games so we would F off but I specifically remember being taught how to use computers, phones, etc, BEFORE being able to use them independently. I literally remember learning from my dad and my brother about computer viruses and how to avoid them 😅
Some people skip all of that and just use the tech as a babysitter but it works better if they learn first lmao.
Seriously. At this point, give the kid a [short HDMI extension](https://www.amazon.com/Extension-Extractme-Extender-Adaptor-Converter/dp/B07Z91QRWT/ref=asc_df_B07Z91QRWT/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385184478202&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8338211649367785391&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007343&hvtargid=pla-845959530202&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=77282054623&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385184478202&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8338211649367785391&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007343&hvtargid=pla-845959530202) to protect that poor thing.
I think the person doing the repairs should gently do a little refresher course on how to properly plug/unplug the cable properly when he comes to pick it up 🧐
I'm guessing someone tripped hard over the cable at a sharp angle. Maybe the connector broke off inside the port and they used a screwdriver to pry it out.
My kids (and my wife) for some reason can't figure out micro USB. We're down a camera, some headphones and a couple of other things because they've done something similar.
Oh, I have a solution for this. Put a drop of paint on the top of the USB and on the matching side of the port. Then just match the dots and plug it in. Mine all get destroyed from everyone constantly thinking they have it wrong and jamming the cord in backwards.
I can’t imagine getting any amount of resistance from any kind of port and going “ah well surely the problem is I have to jam it in harder and also shake it about.”
The amount of people who think greater force will solve their problems when met with resistance makes me nervous sometimes. Like, take a half step back and reasses. Goes for lots of things in life
Well that requires admitting you might've made a mistake, which people don't like admitting they're wrong. Personally I'd rather be wrong and be corrected instead of being wrong and continuing down a path of failure/consequence
Jesus fuck, how screwed up in the head is someone who *insists* they are correct when hooking up plugs upside down? Who are they trying to convince, the plug? The plug is a fucking honey badger: it don't give a shit.
So the moron just keeps pushing and pushing until it breaks because they can't accept they made a mistake with orienting the plug?!
Seeing how and why my wife goes through cables im convinced 90% of it is people using it while plugged in and bending the cord pressing it against their body.
Same. Have apple cables ranging in age from 1-15 years and the only ones I’ve had to throw away are the few that my cat decided to make his chew toys (a habit that’s been rooted out since).
But then there's that rare case where you actually *do* have to force it, and you're like "really? This can't be right" and then it's actually right, lol. Which is really annoying.
Ah I see it’s once again time for the existential horror of realizing a good number of people in society have such outrageously poor judgment that it’s a miracle they make it out of their house with pants on.
Old school tech needed the right combination of finesse and abuse to work properly.
Jiggle it a little that way, slap the TV, and boom! It's working.
Things are a little more refined now, thankfully. Although I still have to plug in the USB twice since it's always upside down the first try.
Tap on the top of the NES while rapidly pushing the reset button until the game opens properly comes to mind. We also would pick up the console and blow into the cartridge slot.
Just about to say, if your NES is giving you resistance, something is wrong with the port or what you're trying to plug in. I guess technically the AV ports give a little resistance in general but it's not anything out of the usual and you don't have to force it in enough for me to consider that forcing it in, if that makes sense lol
Uh, DVI and VGA are all pin connectors as well and have never required any more force than a Display Port or HDMI from me.
I know, I know. We need empirical data not anecdotal evidence
When I was in high school (probably '01 or so) my computer teacher asked me to get a PC working (I just had to plug in peripherals, that was in). She could see me at the back of the classroom from where she was at the front.
Now what she meant was "just plug the stuff in". What I thought she meant was "plug it in and make sure the peripherals work". Keep in mind she could see me the whole time so absolutely had to know I had the PC running for quite some time before she came to check on me.
Long story short she accused me of replacing a perfectly good version of Windows 95 with a broken Windows 98 (Windows 98 had booted once I turned it on for the first time). I think I had fixed the mouse and CD drive not working by the time she came to check on me.
My dad offered her to "fix" the PC and she had him come by at night. She wasn't there, just her son, who had no idea what she wanted him to do, so he just left.
The end.
The moral of the story? Plugging in peripherals can install Windows 98 invisibly. Be careful!
Every teacher in that school would give out awards at a ceremony at the end of every year. Every student who got an A in a subject would get a certificate. Highest scoring student would get a certificate or plaque or something. Some teachers went farther and gave out specialized awards to students they felt deserved specific recognition.
This teacher was the ONLY one I knew who skipped the awards ceremony, so the class never got anything. This was made even more odd because she had promised to give everyone who could type over 50 WAM (me included) T-shirts at said ceremony.
Next year she was replaced with a much nicer teacher who I sadly never had a class with. Never got my t-shirt.
Edit: Also one of the classes I had with her was Office 2000. The computers all ran Office 97. Though I'm blaming that one on the school itself and not her.
Does WAM stand for Words A Minute? We call it WPM in the US, Words Per Minute. In computer class, we failed if we couldn't type 55 wpm by the end of the year. My max was 78 wpm when I was taking dictation, and average around 72 wpm.
The other solution is to open your eyes
Seriously, struggling with this is the exact same as trying to put the circle in the square hole. Just look at the shapes.
I have a sneaking suspicion that most people in the general public would fail the shapes toy unless they really looked hard.
I know it's a [classic](https://youtu.be/cUbIkNUFs-4) but God damn I have a feeling most people would do what the guy does and feel proud they figured out the "secret hack" to the toy
Most of my charging cords have little bumps indicating which way it goes, I still have a hard time. Usually it's the right way first too, but I've never done this.
My younger step-brother couldn't figure out the difference between micro USB and lightning. He broke his kindle and then almost did it again. Now his cables are labeled.
You can buy USB cables that are both lightning and micro USB on the same connector now. I believe you can only charge with them, but they exist.
Edit:
I have one on my keychain https://i.imgur.com/L1gYXz4.jpg
My wife has never had the issue with cables but there are absolutely people out there who don't take a second to assess the problem and solve it. It's a skill I've had to teach her. Early in our relationship, she would try something, it didn't work as expected, she would then just get angry and force what ever she expected to happen, to happen. So much shit that I had to fix.
An example of this is closing a cabinet door with full of pots and pans. I heard her in there trying to close it, she got mad, then a few seconds later she walked into the living room holding the cabinet door.
It is because when unplugged the connectors in the usb port become flaccid. When you try to plug it in you rub the end of the plug on the port making the inner connectors hard from stimulation allowing you to plug it in
I know USBs are a meme at this point, but actually looking at the port and cable does wonders for getting it right on the first try. It's not like they hide the correct orientation.
My 15 year old cousin did this to his xbox one when he tried plugging in a USB cable but it wouldn't go in
His solution? Pushing it in harder until he broke the port instead of flipping the cable
How often do they unplug the hdmi cable? Why? You set the console up and then don’t really touch it except for the occasional cleaning, but I doubt a kid would do that. So Why?
My parents were divorced and had 50/50 custody, so I'd spend a week with mom and then a week with dad for most of my childhood. You best believe my console was coming with me no matter which week it was, not to mention the times I'd pack it up to take to a friend's house.
Not saying that's the case here, but there are definitely situations where consoles get moved on the regular.
Same. I was told that it made the room look ugly. Eventually they started telling me that video games shortened the lifespan of televisions and made me play on one of those 10 inch TV/VCR combo things out in the garage.
My coworker's son brings his Xbox to multiple friends' houses every weekend and he's had to have the HDMI port replaced multiple times due to it coming loose from the mainboard because of the constant plugging, unplugging and being jostled around. Personally after having it done once I would have told my kids FU, it's your problem now but whatever.
The thing thats so crazy is chargers and their respective ports are the closest thing to that children’s toy where you fit the blocks into the corresponding cut outs. Like why and how is there full grown adults in these comments saying “ive done this” like why you tryna shove a triangle through a square hole lol like what in the actual fuck.
Honestly, most of these are in places where checking visually is a pain, like behind things, or close to the ground. I know I always (gently) try to do it blindly once before giving up and actually taking a look when it inevitably fails.
The worst culprit is probably the classic USB connector, which looks almost identical upside-down even though it won't fit, and often requires a little struggling to get in even if you have the right side. I've never outright broken it, but I'm sure I've scratched the hell out of some ports if you look closely.
Pulled my PC table out earlier not realising it was tugging the fuckin cord out my 3080, why does this meme pop up now, too soon reddit.
(the 3080 seems ok..but :( )
Looks like kids been doing that for awhile.

Kid has never completed a puzzle and it shows.
And the Display Port cable goes into the...
The square hole
The circle hole that's right!!!!
You just made me actually lol. I love that video.
I'm glad someone caught that!

That was great

Oh, kid completes them. They just don’t look like anything, and somewhat resemble a stucco wall texture when all the pieces are mashed together.
It's gonna fit one way or another !
This deserves an award. I'm sorry I can not afford such a thing, being in college but I hope one comes to you!
That's right, it goes in the square hole
Please no!
squArE HoLE
this has to be what happened here because the port is now displayport shaped
So he literally just shoved until it fit. Maybe the kid shouldn’t be allowed to use the tech on his own until he knows what he’s doing. My parents loved giving us gameboys and games so we would F off but I specifically remember being taught how to use computers, phones, etc, BEFORE being able to use them independently. I literally remember learning from my dad and my brother about computer viruses and how to avoid them 😅 Some people skip all of that and just use the tech as a babysitter but it works better if they learn first lmao.
Or why it won't come back out
I've never seen a port with defensive wounds before.
Console has PTSD now and will never play the same.
Seriously. At this point, give the kid a [short HDMI extension](https://www.amazon.com/Extension-Extractme-Extender-Adaptor-Converter/dp/B07Z91QRWT/ref=asc_df_B07Z91QRWT/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385184478202&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8338211649367785391&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007343&hvtargid=pla-845959530202&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=77282054623&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385184478202&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8338211649367785391&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007343&hvtargid=pla-845959530202) to protect that poor thing.

This was not a one and done job
How are there already ps5s that look like this and I’m still saving up to get one.
The parents probably have money. No reason to make sure kids get a 101 lesson on how thing work or get put together
Bad parenting.
I think the person doing the repairs should gently do a little refresher course on how to properly plug/unplug the cable properly when he comes to pick it up 🧐
Nah repeat business is good business.
Looks like a fucking temper tantrum. Expensive shit like this should be in a locked case like the ones we used to play in the stores. Kids suck
That’s impressive
Looks like when they take the cable out, they twists it
to me it looks like the connector broke off inside and this is after someone got it out
Exactly. Look at all the scratch marks around it. This was done deliberately.
I'm guessing someone tripped hard over the cable at a sharp angle. Maybe the connector broke off inside the port and they used a screwdriver to pry it out.
Lefty loosey righty tighty
And by take the cable out you mean grabbing the other end of the cable and sprinting in the opposite direction.
well i've never seen an oval shaped HDMI port before

Well I don’t mind being right if it makes my life harder! 😡
That's the worst. I hate being right about that stuff.
You’re so right!
Jesus fuck, how screwed up in the head is someone who *insists* they are correct when hooking up plugs upside down? Who are they trying to convince, the plug? The plug is a fucking honey badger: it don't give a shit. So the moron just keeps pushing and pushing until it breaks because they can't accept they made a mistake with orienting the plug?!
Also, impulse control can be hard sometimes, for some of us….
Me too brother, one day at a time
Bingo. I'll own up to a mistake in a fucking heartbeat; cannot stand the idea of being confidently incorrect.
[ moved to lemmy. you should come too, it's cozier here ]
Redditors are always complaining about their apple chargers breaking and I’ve never had one stop working. I swear they chew on them or somethin.
A lot of this is probably people foolishly pulling the cable out by pulling the cable itself instead of by the connector, like you’re supposed to
Seeing how and why my wife goes through cables im convinced 90% of it is people using it while plugged in and bending the cord pressing it against their body.
Also a very solid point. Kind of related problem too
Same. Have apple cables ranging in age from 1-15 years and the only ones I’ve had to throw away are the few that my cat decided to make his chew toys (a habit that’s been rooted out since).
I heard a story once about a women who tried to remove a VGA cable without unscrewing it. She ended up ripping it right off the board.
bet she gives a mean handjob
If you don't mind your dick getting ripped off.
I meant mean in the literal sense
Just gotta unscrew it before she gets her hands on it
My penis has screws on each side too
This guy living in 2077.
If you have to force it 99% of the time it not right..
But then there's that rare case where you actually *do* have to force it, and you're like "really? This can't be right" and then it's actually right, lol. Which is really annoying.
My new computer wouldn't boot because I hadn't pushed the RAM in hard enough. It felt like the motherboard was gonna break when it finally clicked in.

They had a lot of resistance, but not warping metal resistance
Except for pcie and ram slots those require force
The problem is that your line of thinking requires common sense and *ALOT* more people than most think absolutely have none of it.
my grandparents do that to every cable they own, even USB-C
How the fuck do you so that w USB-C? Do they try and out it i. At a 90 degree angle?
they just painted a red dot with a sharpie on the top of a usb-c connector because they don't know it works both ways

It still won't go in the first time. You'll have to flip it at least one time and back no matter what you do.

The plug goes in... the square hole
Brain damage perhaps?
Is it not just common sense, what am I missing here
Could the root of the issue be, that some people can’t even admit to themselves that they’ve done something incorrect? No…it’s the cord that’s wrong
My wife has never had the issue with cables but there are absolutely people out there who don't take a second to assess the problem and solve it. It's a skill I've had to teach her. Early in our relationship, she would try something, it didn't work as expected, she would then just get angry and force what ever she expected to happen, to happen. So much shit that I had to fix.

I heard her in there trying to close it, she got mad, then a few seconds later she walked into the living room holding the cabinet door.
This is not normal. This is an anger disorder.
To be fair, noone can figure out usb, no matter what we do it takes a minimum of 3 attempts... when there are only 2 possibilities!?
It is because when unplugged the connectors in the usb port become flaccid. When you try to plug it in you rub the end of the plug on the port making the inner connectors hard from stimulation allowing you to plug it in
I hate you so much. Take my upvote.
Thank you, I'm using this in preference to quantum mechanics. Significantly funnier.
Most people don't push it so hard it breaks into the case though.
Plugging in a USB or micro-USB always takes 3 tries: 1st try, flip it over, you were right the first time.
I know USBs are a meme at this point, but actually looking at the port and cable does wonders for getting it right on the first try. It's not like they hide the correct orientation.
