    Alright so, we got a new 52" today, and I wasn't home so my Dad was left to hook up my HDMI cable. I don't know if it was his fault or the crap HDMI cable's fault. The TV didn't recognize it, so I took it out. Long story short, I'm left with the head of the HDMI cable in my TV... Any ideas on getting it out? I'll try pliers later because it's too cold outside (Canada) to be digging in the garage. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

    Thats what you get for buying cheap wires. Anyway when you do take it out with the plyers, make sure nor to bend any of the female pins.The HDMI is cheap and can easily be replaced but the tv pins cant be so easily. Good Luck!

    ps. Go w/ Monster Cables next time, there the best

    Would give you a thanks, but there is none here. I ended up pulling it out with the pliers after I found them, and they got out nicely. Went out right after and bought me an 8' Monster cable, I'm sure I didn't break the TV pins because I re-used the same slot. :p Thanks for the help!
