There is a button on your laptop which should be marked "CRT/LCD". Trying hitting that. You might have to push a function button as well.

Ive been using a 15 pin connect at the side of the laptop, One connector with hdmi on other end and one with 3 plugs on it which had an affect on the tv but made it go funny without showing the picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the remote you should be able to choose the source. Choose HDMI. If that dosent work I would think I was using a faulty cable to be honest. HDMI is pretty much plug and play. Have you tried a different lead ? Do you have a PC 15 pin input on the TV ? you could try a monitor cable to hook the two up... but you will need one with two male ends.

There is a 15 pin connector mark pc at the back of the tv actually, so if i get a 15pin on each end it may work however some told me i would need a converter is this right? ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have to push a function button as well. I think your answer is here. I have a similar laptop and used a s-video cable (oldschool - I know) to watch Latics v. Leeds over (cough) the web and wanted to connect it to my telly last season. I tried everything and then realised that you have to change the output source to laptop+projector or something like that. On my laptop it is definitely a function key plus a button. I'm at work at the moment so I can't tell you which button it is. Good luck.

lazyboy1 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks for your help. Ive found the key marked lcd so I guess when i get the right cable it may work. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
