    Using HDMI cables to connect two laptops for the purpose of copying files


    Hello. My cat sat on one of my laptops one time too many and the screen stopped working. I want to copy the files from it to another of my laptops and have HDMI cables attached to both. Can someone please give me some help in what I need to do to be able to see the files on the bad laptop using the good one? Thank you so much!

    :)

    Using HDMI cables to connect two laptops for the purpose of copying files

    Laptop not recognizing TV through HDMI connection


    Hello everyone!

    First I do apologize if this is not the correct section for this thread.

    I've had issues connecting my laptop to TV for the past day. Connection is done through an HDMI cable. Connection was good up until it randomly turned off itself while playing a game. There have been no hardware or software changes whatsoever that would affect it.

    TV is SAMSUNG, Model: UE32J4000AW. Laptop info is available in My PC Specs. (laptop is brand new, week or two old)

    Here's what I've tried so far:


    • 3 different HDMI cables
    • switching between ports on TV
    • tried all projection options on Laptop
    • Disable / Enable both Intel and Nvidia drivers
    • Rollback Intel GPU driver and installed it back to latest version
    • Re-installed Nvidia driver
    • Restarted PC and TV
    • Scan for hardware changes through Device Manager
    • Checked Intel and Nvidia control panels - there were no available options
    • Apparently both HDMI ports on the TV work as I tried them with a tv box.

    I think that's all I've tried so far, will add anything else if missed. Open to suggestions.
