I use a 5 year old Intel NUC mini-PC as a source for my TV via HDMI. Recently, more often then not, when I power-on the PC, I get a "NO Signal" pop-up on my TV display. It usually takes several tries, shutting down/powering up for my PC Home screen to appear. I have tried cleaning and alternating the HDMI ports on both the PC (2 ports) and TV (3 ports) I have also changed HDMI cables.

I called a reliable computer repair shop and they said it sounds like a motherboard issue as the HDMI ports are directly connected. Replacement B3000.

Has anybody else experienced this issue? Did it turn out to be anything other than the motherboard?

As the PC is 5+ years old, normally I'd just replace it but a quick look on Lazada shows the component shortage is real as mini-PC prices have doubled in the past year.

It's RAM and Storage that has increased in price. Buy a bare bones device cheaply and re-use your RAM and SSD.

You can buy a new HDMI port, a card that plugs into your motherboard bus.

Disable existing HDMI port through your BIOS

Of course checking that the device is compatible with your RAM. The newest devices may require DDR5. Yours is likely DDR4.
