Replace the HDMI to DVI cable that caused issues with your HDMI port.
Reported that the HDMI port on my old Dell XPS 9550 was damaged by lightning. Decided to upgrade to a Dell XPS 15 9520 which lacks an HDMI port but includes an adapter. Consider swapping the HDMI to DVI cable instead, as it functioned on a previous Chromebook. Avoid using the same HDMI to DVI cable on this new model.
If it's a good adapter, why not use it? Also, did you mean lightning instead of thunder? Thunder is rapid decompression of air pockets and is simply sound waves.
