HDMI Port damaged after the adapter was plugged in

Hi, I'm using Macbook Pro 15" Mid-2015.

While connecting to the TV via the HDMI port, I plugged the adapter into the socket to charge my MBP. Then the TV shut down and the HDMI port wasn't working anymore.

Could anyone tell me what really happened? It seems that the TV was damaged and so did the HDMI port on the MBP.

Thank you.

HDMI port not working after update 12.6 Hi all, My HDMI 14 inch 2021 Macbook is not working correctly after updating to Monterey 12.6. I tried multiple screens and different HDMI cables. The screen says that there is no video output but is reacting when I put the cable in and out. Anyone has an idea what to do? Thanks!

Mac Studio M2 Ultra and HDMI issue Hello! Just bought Mac Studio M2 Ultra on which I use Apple Studio Display (connected to TB port) and Samsung TV on HDMI (I use a quality HDMI 2.1 cable). The first day everything worked normally, until after 20 minutes of non-use the displays went to sleep. After "waking up", only Studio Display started working, the TV connected to HDMI was no longer detected (not even in System Preferences). I tried with another cable, with two other displays (Huawei 24" and DELL 27" computer displays), but the same problem. I went into DFU mode and "revive" again, which didn't help. Even a brand new reinstall of the system (system restore) did not help. What could happen? Does anyone have a similar problem? BTW, the same HDMI cable with the same display, connected to my good old Mac Pro 5.1 (with RX580 and Monterey) works normally.

Sounds like the port may be damaged; I'd recommend having Apple examine the port to see if there is any damage. The TV may not have worked because there was no signal from the HDMI port.
