Hi, I recently decorated my bedroom and ran a HDMI cable up the wall and plastered over it. It does not work from my dvd player to my samsung flat screen I fitted on the wall. I thought that I may have damaged it while decorating, but after doing a continuity test I find no fault.

I have tried a different cable with the same two devices and it works. So how can i have a fault with my cable when faults find with continuity test and no cross over connections found either.

Have i bought the wrong type of HDMI cable or is there another test I can do to the cable to be sure, or another work around because I don't want to ruin all the hard work. Any help will be much appreciated.
