HDMI not responding to TV- Any fixes?

[ykdadamaja]

So the HDMI cable is not working. I plug it in to my laptop and then to my television and telling my laptop to split screen or project to screen and it does not work anymore. I used to be able to see it and now NOTHING.

I assume it is my laptop because I took the TV and plugged it in to another computer and it came on- both with the VGA and with the HDMI port.

I can't find a solution because with the dog dying and no work on the horizon, movies and afternoon baseball is all I have. That and Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Bill Burr and VladTV youtube channels.

Oh yeah... Joey Diaz is pretty cool too.

I’ve had hdmi ports on TV go bad. I assume if you had more than one you would have tried it already but I have 4 ports only two work really screwed me up. Another dumb one but are you going into settings and matching up the right port to the right input

Is your TV “smart”? If so just get chromecast or something, I think its even free to download as an app. If you have an older TV like me then you still need to buy the little receiver that plugs into HDMI so probably outa luck... It all being wireless where you can just mirror your phone or tablet to TV is so much nicer though.

I phone has an AV cord where you can Mirror your phone to your TV it’s really cool. It does use the hdmi port so it sounds like it wouldn’t help you. How is the job search going yK any luck

3 possible solutions for you.

1. Make sure your laptop is plugged into the mains power not just running of its battery power. Try changing the order of turning on your devices. So for example if you usually turn on the TV and then the laptop try turning on the laptop first then the TV. Try switching to another input on your TV source button then back to Hdmi.

If that doesn't work


2. Turn on your Dell laptop and then power on your HDTV or LCD monitor. Navigate to the correct "Input" channel on your TV or monitor.

Hold the "Fn" key on your keyboard, then press the "F1" button to engage the video output. Your laptop's display should now appear on the TV or monitor.

If that doesn't work.

3. Press the “Start” button on your Windows Taskbar, and then select “Control Panel.” Click Hardware and Sound option, and then choose “Manage Audio Devices.”
Select the “Playback” tab. Click the HDMI device on the Playback tab and then press the “Default Device” button to make this your default audio device. Press “OK” to save the option.
Press the “Start” button and select the “Control Panel” again. Select “Power Options,” to set the power plan for your system. Select “High Performance” to keep the HDMI audio working when the system is not plugged into the electrical outlet.
