Help with HDMI to Laptop

[gatomike26]

It use to work fine I watched my laptop on my LG TV for movies and tv shows.But recently my pc had some sort of virus.Long story short my wife had the pc cleaned.Now my pc does not detect my lcd LG tv monitor anymore.Been trying to search the internet for help but cant find the problem.

When I try to extend the monitor my laptop screen just turns blue.If I try to duplicate it my tv still reads no signeal.

I have a Dell inspiration notebook N51050 but my warranty is up and I can not afford the expense to pay now just to get new drivers if this is the problem.

Anyone have any ideas.

You can try downloading the latest drivers for free from Dell's Support website to see if that corrects the issue.

You can still download drivers even when your warranty has expired.

What is your graphics manufacturer?

I never changed it so its the one my laptop came with.

Which is? Googling the model number doesn't return useful info.

Go here: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/ ... cs=19&l=en and enter the Service Tag located on the bottom of your laptop. That will bring up the laptop configuration and the drivers available.

I don't even know what model number you mean the one of my PC and what other info do I need.Are there other drivers I need besides the ones listed in Dells website?

I dont know what or how to find graphics manufacturer on my pc.Also I don't know what exactly I'm looking for.Not everybody is that computer savy thats why I'm asking for help so I can narrow it down.

I have tried lots of the stuff they are saying on these pages I'm just curious what drivers I need exactly or what kind would help detect my hdmi is working and show that my LCD is connected to my PC.

If you go to the link I provided for Dell's site, it will bring up a list of drivers for your specific laptop and display each type (graphics or video, modem, networking, etc) in each section. Download all the drivers under the video or graphics section and try to install them on your system. If it is not compatible, the drivers won't install.

thanks I installed them but computer still is not detecting the Lcd like it use to under devices when I hookup the hdmi and reeboot it.Not only that when I go to extend the screen it turns all blue on my pc.
