HDMI / VGA converter toasting HDMI port

I purchased a MALE HDMI / FEMALE VGA converter from APM ref. 590104

Plugged it to my Dell Laptop - and to a DELL 1907FP VGA/DVI display - it worked!

I opened the Window display control panel - setup the monitor as extended 2 - resolution was set as well. I could work for a little bit.

But then after 10-15mn of usage, I saw the monitor starting to flicker a bit, then it was just black
I unplugged everything, tried again ... nothing

Now from the Windows sound panel - I could see that it was detected (as DELL 1907FP)
from the display control panel - the monitor was there, but could never be detected (error message in red - monitor not detected)

Now since I have another HDMI monitor (native) I unplugged my converter.
Plugged the other Monitor (Thomson Union TV) and same thing - the monitor did not detect the laptop - and kept asking for a source ...
Windows sound panel - detected the Union TV as output

And that is where I started to think, that the HDMI port of my Dell Laptop might have died

How much money can you make with patreon?

A formula

https://blog.patreon.com/figuring-out-how-much-you-might-make-on-patreon

How many followers?
From these followers, how many are active?
How many of these followers could convert to patrons?

Let's have an example - Teal Swan:
Current subscriptions on youtube - 589K
15% are active - 88K
7$ by Patrons (on average) - Teal might cash 618K per month!

Jessica Nigri:
Instagram followers : 3.7m (these don't convert easily to Patrons)
only 0.1% of instagram followers in average will convert
Youtube followers: 1.2m
15% are active - 180K
7$ by Patrons (on average) - Jessica might cash 1.2m per month!

Now the actual revenue for Miss Nigri is coming from 2736 Patrons - with an estimate of 19K per month - source: https://www.patreon.com/JessicaNigri
