Windows 10: No HDMI output from my laptop to my Samsung TV.

Hi,
So I have tried everything. I update the drivers for both my graphics cards and they are both the latest drivers.

When I connect my TV to my laptop, the TV screen goes blank for a few seconds (normal) and then I get a searching for signals...and then a few minutes later....no signal.

The laptop is a brand new Acer aspire v nitro. The TV is a much older Samsung one 40 inch LED. Model number: ua40d5003br

I tried the usual Windows + p, etc...but like my computer just refuses to detect the display. Settings says no other display detected, and control panel display settings only shows one display. I factory reset the TV and everything....still nothing.
I don't know how to use nvidia control panel to do this cos there is no display options I can see there and Intel HD graphics center doesn't detect the display either.

Any suggestions? The cable is 100% working and so is the TV. I don't really have any other way of testing the HDMI port on my laptop as the tv is the only output monitor I have.

Thanks in advance,
Vishwas

HDMI stopped working

A few days ago my computer (Asrock Vision HT) stopped outputting a video signal to my Samsung TV (UE55JU7005). I have replaced the HDMI cable and also switched to a different HDMI input on the TV, with no luck. The TV detects the signal and displays a device
but Windows doesn't show the connected screen.

I have verified both the HDMI cable and the HDMI input on the Samsung TV works (connected my XBox with the same cable to the same HDMI input). I have verified the computer works by switching from HDMI output to DVI, which works fine. I also upgraded the
Graphic card drivers (HD 4000) to the latest one from Intels support page. As the computer is a mini-pc I can't test replacing the graphic card.

I also tried connecting a DVI->HDMI adapter to the DVI port on the computer to exclude the problem is caused by a faulty HDMI port, but with the same result (TV detects the signal but Windows doesn't detect the TV).

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Samsung Smart TV

"I have a Samsung Smart TV (2013) and an HP laptop running Windows 8.1 (with option to upgrade to 10). I wish to watch internet based product on my TV which is not available with the native Samsung apps, but can
be seen on the laptop. Samsung tell me that HDMI to HDMI will not work, OI need svideo. Is there a way to convert HDMI from computer to Svideo?"
