Broken HDMI Port? [solved]

Yesterday the HDMI port on my HTPC stopped working. It's been working fine for several weeks and then all of a sudden I get a black screen. I appear to be getting sound, but no video. VGA port still works fine. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the video driver with no luck. I really don't want to have to RMA this board. Any other suggestions?

specs:

motherboard: Asrock H67M
cpu: I3-2100t
GPU: onboard HD2000

    Did you power-cycle the TV as well (not suspend/sleep, but actually turning off the power and turning it back on)? Usually, when an HDMI cable signal is interrupted, it won't work properly unless you power-cycle both devices at each end of the cable. I'd also try a different cable to rule out hardware issues.
