I am not the Forum Expert on this issue, just suggesting, that even tho the cable is brand new, it still could be at fault. I say that because of studies have shown SATA cables will vary on functionality although they can be brand new.

My next step is definitely to try a replacement cable, I will get one tomorrow and post back tomorrow evening with the results. I think your right to assume that HDMI is controlled automatically the same way as VGA.

I'll let you know how it goes with another HDMI cable.

Thanks for your advice

Hi, no you did not upset me, I'm not ungrateful for your post quite the opposite in fact, but, in my earlier posts I have stated that I have tried the function keys. With the help of Yard Dog the next thing I'm going to check is that it's not a faulty HDMI cable.

PS

Thanks for the E-Guide I'm sure it will come in handy in the future

Kind regards

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay took a while for me to get out to Argos, I got the HDMI cable replaced today for another new one. Still the same problem though, nothing happening at all when I connect to the TV, :/ Its also a brand new TV is it likely to be a fault with the TV or the HDMI port on the Laptop?

When you press the Fn F4, does the "Easy Display Manager" configuration screen show up?

Does Lottie's post help out ?

Hi YD,

Thanks for your quick reply, lotties post is by far the best guide to using the HDMI function that I've seen, looks like it will come in handy for other features on the laptop in future.

Just to make sure I tried everything suggested in the guide when connecting my LT to the TV with the old cable and the new cable, still no joy.

From the beginning I've been trying the F key functions as I was used to using them when I connected to the TV by VGA but when I try to connect by HDMI and use the F keys it just brings up the laptop display.

Usually when I plug the VGA cable in the screen flickers and then the display shows up on the TV automatically. When I plug the HDMI cable in though the screen doesnt flicker, and theres no other type of response from the laptop to show that it has a new connection i.e, no beep (not that a beep is normal), no timmer (to show it processing), no screen flicker nothing :/

I'm stumped
