Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable
The eARC protocol utilizes the Differential Pair signaling on pins 14 and 19 which are highly sensitive to electromagnetic interference and impedance mismatches. If the cable is not rated for 48Gbps (HDMI 2.1), it may fail to sustain the bi-directional handshake required for the 'Heartbeat' signal, leading to intermittent connection drops. This high-bandwidth cable ensures the physical layer can handle the high-bitrate metadata overhead of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Main Logic Board Assembly
The HDMI transceiver chip on the logic board is responsible for interpreting the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) and managing the CEC bus voltage levels. A hardware failure in the transceiver's logic gates or a corrupted EEPROM (often following a firmware update) can result in a failure to maintain the active-low state required for CEC communication. Replacing the logic board restores the integrity of the HDMI handshake sequence and the processing of the ARC return signal.
