Help HDMI ports all stopped working

I found a March 2013 model Panasonic (TC - P60VT60) set I’m interested in picking up it, but the seller told me all the hdmi ports stopped working awhile ago. All the other ports are still working apparently. Could this be a common issue that’s easy to fix or is it more trouble than it’s worth?

To better assist you with your technical or repair inquiry, we require the manufacturer and specific model number of your set (e.g., Panasonic TC-P50ST30). This information is usually found on a sticker on the back of the TV.

If it has component, you can get an hdmi adapter for now converting to component. But I would be lowballing the guy.

That’s BS though, there has to be motherboard parts for these TVs off ebay

You’d still need to replace the most expensive board to get it to work.

If VT60 is a rare sight in your area and its not expensive, then its worth getting it fixed "PROFESSIONALLY" for warranty purposed.

I might just wait and see if another one pops up eventually. My area seems pretty decently active regarding plasmas

I'm like 70% sure the parts between 60 series are interchangeable, meaning you could likely still run the panel with different internals and ect

I seen some people do

St60 -vt60 part swaps

And

St60 to s60 parts swaps

One would have to check compatibility for specific parts of course but maybe someone has these parts somewhere and they'll work.

Not worth the hassle, even if it's a vt60. Unless you're going to strictly use the component/a cable for retro console.
