Hi guys. My TV has stopped recognising the usb port. Is there anything on the market that would allow me to plug in my usb stick to a hdmi thingy and then let me plug the hdmi stick into the TV allowing me to watch the music videos I have on my usb stick?

hi old geezer,
what do you mean by cast to TV?
I will recommend checking the USB on PC, because the fault may be on USB. HDMI will not work at all if there is an issue with the USB port. Also, check there will be other USB ports too on the TV.
You can get dongles that plug into your TV or maybe PC, tablet, phone, that can send whatever is playing on it to the TV. I'm no expert though, just something to investigate.
You could buy one of these, insert USB and connect to TV by HDMI
