Hi James,

I am sorry to hear that the HDMI port has stopped working after hard drive replacement, please click the link below which will take you to the driver’s website:

http://dell.to/T4gh5V

Please choose the Operating System which you are using. Update the latest video card driver and also update the chipset driver.

Once it`s updated, please restart the computer and check for the issue again

Please reply if you have any further questions

Thanks & Regards
Rathish C
