DLP component jacks

My HL-P5063W (Samsung 50" DLP) component jacks are 1 by 1 failing. I have had other issues with this set and it is only 4 years old. Had I problem with the set turning itself off (figured out and corrected the issue, but annoyed at the poor engineering that would let this happen) I lost the HDMI about a year and a half ago( very annoying!), now the blue jack imput for the DVD is not making a connection. I peered into the jack with a flashlight and could see that the metal bit at the back of the jack was pushed back enough so the male cable could not make a connection. These component jacks are old technology that should not be failing like this. I wonder if using "Monster" cables have any part of this problem. Also, whats up with the HDMI? Is it replaceable, is it a code or board problem? Stupid TV ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
