Hello,
I have a Pavilion dv4 and a Samsung Smart TV. Two days ago I was blissfully enjoying a successful connection between the two with an HDMI cable. Now the connection has no signal. Here are some facts:
-The correct TV settings are selected.
-I do not believe it is a cable issue, as the cable and TV port work connecting to a different device.
-When I shut the computer down and reboot, the picture of the startup screen appears on the TV, but the laptop display is black. Then, the TV goes black and the display screen appears with my password prompt. Then, if I unplug and re-plug the HDMI cable in, I get the 'no signal' error.
-I am weary about installing plug-ins or drivers because the connection was successfully working just two days ago (although I will say that there were updates installed between the last time the connection worked and now). But if that is what will fix the issue, then I am game.
I would love any advice and guidance. Thanks in advance.
