Re: Several pins on the HDMI port are bent. Can the port...
Yes, but it's probably a complete replacement of the entire motherboard of the Toshiba laptop. Very expensive -- probably as much as the original cost of the laptop.

it will have broken off. it has very thin connections for the hdmi. you will need to replace the hole part. aldo if not changed it can damage the controller board for the graphics. if the pins touch each other.
no, the board it is on is sold as a unit---I have seen several techs try to replace the socket---there are some sites on the internet that stock by model number all the boards Google Samsung boards/parts.
The only other option I see is connect the set via another input like component--that connector and the board are history.
Try visually inspecting HDMI’s that are not working. Occasionally, pins on HDMI connectors are getting bent or pushed-in. If you can spot the damage, fix would be to replace HDMI connectors. If connector are not damaged, then main unit of the TV has to be replaced.
If you have more than one HDMI connection try the others first. If it is an intermittent connection try cleaning the connector out first with compressed air in the can and make sure it is dry before powering the set back up again. If the HDMI is not working and you have tried different HDMI sources the HDMI receiver board in the TV might be bad. The connectors usually don't fail unless there is allot of stress placed upon them by to short of a cable going to them.
I know blueraven is a place that repairs PS3's and they offer mail in repair service and they have lots or repair places in Tennessee, the link to the info is here:
Bent pins are a tough problem. In a lot of cases when you try to straighten them they break off. The best system to try is with very small needle nose pliers. Gently grasp each bent pin and bend. They don’t have to be perfect but close. Work on one at a time and work slowly. Still it is just a chance it will not break. Good Luck.
make sure you are on the correct channel thats tuned in, that the connections between the console and the tv are all seated firmly and make sure there are no bent pins or anything like that if any of the connectors have pins also what connector type are you using ? HDMI if so try a different hdmi port on your tv ?
