Hi guys, I run a small repair shop and a client has bought in a lead for a “mapTuner”. It has 1 HDMI Plug that slits off to Two leads  
1 x HDMI  
1x Stereo socket

Corrosion got into the hdmi plug and he got in there with a jack hammer and broke pins now needs to replace the single hdmi plug  
I am not familiar with hdmi but will definitely be able to fix this with a bit of info from you good people

Plug is a male and has 19 pins. 9 bottom 10 top. On the [HDMI Plug Breakout Board](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalog/product/view/sku/ADA3119), there are 20 points to solder but 20 is next to 1

So my question is, is 20 a pin or an earth to the body meaning there are only 19 pins… ?  
Thanking you in advance  
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

There are 19 pins, pin #20 is electrically connected to the outer-shell.
