I have an anbernick rg35xxsp, I bought a new hdmi adaptor to see if the problem was that, and it doesn’t work. I tried reinstalling loose goose and it still doesn’t work, I tried putting the oops.sh in the sd1 root and it still doesn’t work. this happend the day after I installed portal from the testing and dev section of the portmaster discord server. my hdmi port in the device has no sign of wear or tear. I have also tried using the hdmi integration, which doesn’t work. I also have tried to use this: [Activate HDMI device is on - #7 by SagiC](https://community.muos.dev/t/activate-hdmi-device-is-on/254/7) and it doesn’t work. I have a 2 sd card setup if that helps. please help

Based on everything you’ve already tested, if you have additionally tried rebooting while the hdmi cable is plugged in, then it would seem a hardware fault, and you should contact anbernic/your vendor for a replacement
