It is an interesting question that you have. You say your setup with at least one cable was working under windows 10 and the obscure debian distro. Then you say that the connection is no longer there when you reinstalled windows 10. But you have not tried reinstalling the debian distro? If you reinstall the debian distro and it still works with at least one cable, then I would post a question on a debian forum asking what is it in the distro that makes the external HDMI work, or if the connection still fails then Id assume that some hardware issue has unfortunately developed. We know for sure that the HDMI has never worked when operating with windows 7.
