Inside a UV-erasable EPROM

Inside a UV-erasable EPROM

This EPROM chip, manufactured by STmicroelectronics, shows the intricate inner workings of integrated circuits (it is behind a quartz windo since UV can actually erase the information), with the memory cells in the middle, controllers on the side, and bond wires to the pins.

Fun fact: in some cases, data recovery can actually be performed by physically inspecting the memory cells under a microscope.

Where do I plug in my HDMI cable?

I can't seem to find the HDMI connector to connect my display. I've tried turning it off and on again, reinstalling the drivers, and putting it in rice. Help!
