Windows 10: Can't detect external TV

This is the same question I've seen being asked for decades with no solution but here I go anyway. I'm sure Microsoft will say it's a NVidia issue or an LG issue and they'll each say that about the others.Windows 11 proNVidia 4090LG C2new 8k HDMI cableMy monitor is connected via DP and my TV by HDMI. Monitor works fine. TV output works sporadically at best the unit itself is in perfect working order. Sometimes the external monitor connection does work, therefore all components work. A TV doesn't break and then fix itself. An HDMI cable doesn't randomly split in half and then heal so le

Laptopc can´t connect to TV

Hi,

Please reply to the questions mentioned below in order to assist you in a better way.

• Are you connecting the PC and TV using a HDMI cable?
• Did you make any changes prior to the issue?

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

• First you need a video cable for making the physically connection. For better picture quality, you should connect the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via the DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.
• Open the "display settings" in your computer and activate output to the TV screen. You can either mirror content of your computer on the TV or extend the display just like a dual monitor screen.
• Pick up your TV remote and switch to "External Inputs" from the menu. You will need to change the default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "Video 2" depending on how you have made the connection.

Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer as sometimes it may fail to recognize external display.

You may also need to change the screen resolution of your TV using the Display settings in your Control Panel else the picture may appear distorted.

Please revert if you face any issues with PC not connecting to TV.

 

My TV is not detected when I connect to my laptop through Thunderbolt/HDMI cable

I have a laptop with Thunderbolt(Mini Display Port) and ofcourse TV has HDMI port. Si I bought a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable and connected the devices but TV is just not showing up when I press Detect.

Now, this laptop is not having any issues when I connect it with my external monitor, its just the TV which is not being detected.

• My laptop is a Lenovo T440s Windows 10
  
• TV is Samsung LCD 1080p
  
• Now, my laptop connects to other external monitor fine
  
• While TV also works fine with other devices like Roku very fine.
  
• its just the combination of laptop and TV is something that is not working at all.
  
• Here is the Thunderbolt that I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00APLJY4C?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

Any suggestions?

 

usb external harddrive is not detected

Hi,



Thank you for replying.

• Have you allocated drive letter for the external drive?
• Do you get any prompt when you connect the external drive to your PC?
• Is the external device getting detected under disk manager?

You will be able to view the contents of drives if you have allocated a drive name/letter. If you do not allocate a name/letter and if you try to view it on the PC, it will not be visible.



Connect the external device to the PC and follow the steps below to check if the external drive is getting detected:

• Open Run command by pressing Windows Key + R, type
  diskmgmt.msc and press Enter.
• Check if the external device is detected in this window.
• If the device is detected as unallocated, right click on the external drive and select
  New Simple Volume option. Follow the onscreen instructions where-in, in one of the page you will be asked to select a drive letter.
• Assign a drive letter and check if you are able to access the contents of the drive.
