Lightning fried TV's HDMI Ports, can I use HDMI to 5-RCA component cable

Lightning fried all my Panasonic Plasma HDMI Ports. Changing the main board is a bit expensive, so are HDMI to 5-RCA component cables an option?
I have a HD blue-ray player which only has HDMI port and I want to connect that to this HD TV which has HDMI and component ports.

Will it work? Will the quality of video still be good?

You can't use a passive cable to convert HDMI digital av to component video analog av.
You need an active converter. The quality will suffer.
