There are converters with usb and HDMI at each end but it's doubtful that will work because they are aimed at connecting a PC to a TV. You could keep trying different connectors and send them back for a refund when they don't work or buy a new TV. There are also smart boxes that you plug into a TV which will take a usb stick. Have a look at streamers with a usb port like those made by Roku, Amazon or Nokia.
