Dell Inspiron 1525 - unrecognized on external screen HDMI output

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a HDMI output port.  I have had no success with getting a display actually receive a signal from the laptop.

I tried Windows 7 and Ubuntu and when I connect the hdmi cable to my TV, the laptop instantly detects a second display device, and I can even move my mouse cursor off the screen of my laptop when the 'extended display' expected to appear on the TV (clone of office, only showing the screen hdmi using FN + F8 ", etc. also does not display anything).  I tried all ports hdmi on the TV and have also tried external monitors with hdmi inputs, I tried three different hdmi cables that work with other devices, even once, the laptop recognizes the display and I can only activate the display in Windows/Ubuntu, but the external monitor receives a signal from the laptop.  Yes, I have made sure the TV/external monitors are set to the appropriate hdmi source.  I tried to have two devices turned off with the attached cable, then by restarting, etc..

The Samsung TV that I want the output to work on will display a message "searching for signal" when I attach the hdmi cable, but after a few seconds will display "no signal". The problem is to get a real view on the external display device.  How can I get my hdmi port to send the signal my TV or other screen?  I spent hours on google and nothing has helped.  Any advice would be appreciated.

I just thought I would update this thread that I surprisingly fixed this problem.  There was a missing screw under the laptop where the HDMI port.  I ordered a few screws replacement on EBay and I replaced where the screw should be.  There were a few other missing screws as well (I got the used laptop) that I replaced.  After filling in all the gaps, I tried the HDMI connection and it worked immediately.  No idea how or why that fixed the HDMI port, but he did.

    Do not safe mode with network. It will try to load too many drivers.

    Try mode safe mode with command prompt since it will charge just a necessary drivers. If it does, you can try the above commands.

    Only other option would be to try to start with a Linux LIVE CD/USB. (IE Ubuntu, Mint, or puppy or another other Dist you prefer).

  • microphone works only on Dell Inspiron 1525.

    MIC not working not not on our Dell Inspiron 1525.
    It used to work fine until about 3 months - then perhaps some other software/driver, we installed prevents the entrance of mic work Sigmatel.

    I have re-installed the latest drivers Sigmatel Audio for Vista - 32 x, of the Dell Web site. Tried the external microphone and built-in microphone array. Neither one works. No idea what I need to do? Thank you!

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version gets stuck and won't end up task - is to turn it off and restart.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version that was working fine until recently. Now, whenever I try to open a file or use whatever it is, it seems stuck with the ROAR - once an hourglass on the old computer - and nothing happens. The only way I can get out of everything I tried to do is to turn off and restart. Next, I get the message that he has was not shut down normally, etc., and it takes forever to get up. Then the whole again. I really want to this time just download all my files on an external hard drive so I can get a new computer, but it will not let me even copy / paste a single file without getting bogged down. Control Alt Delete even let me get into the Task Manager to stop the programme of work. Please help me.

    Hi MZ1_6789,

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2: If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 2: Follow the steps in the article.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/optimize-Windows-Vista-for-better-performance

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Webcam not working do not... Help!

    I have a dell inspiron 1525 and having a problem with the integrated webcam. The webcam suddenly stops working. Whenever I start Dell Webcam Manager or Webcam Center, I see the blue light but no picture on the screen. It does not work in Yahoo Messenger. I checked the Device Manager, but seems to be no problem. I tried to restore the factory setting but still no luck. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall all software related and driver. Also tried to plug a USB mouse as other advice forums but still does not. Can someone please... Thank you very much...

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

    It is possible that a third-party application is causing the conflict. We can find the contradictory application using the clean boot.

    See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    I hope this helps.

  • Connection user other Dell Inspiron 1525 problems

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and am unable to reach the Windows desktop. Embedded is Windows Vista, I tried almost all the options through the start screen Safe (F8). I resorted to Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows SystemDiscs.com download - allowed me to access the drive, but not to fix it.  I also tried Windows Defender Offline tool nothing helps.

    In things now, the laptop boots up to the point where 'another user' login screen is displayed, and no password on Earth will allow you.  In addition, no matter how many times F8 is hit, the splash screen does not appear.

    I have managed to copy all personal information off the drive, but I am not prepared to accept that the only solution is to buy a new hard drive.  What about windows
    platform?  What I have to buy a new copy of the said so?  Why not just take the loophole to buy a new laptop? Is there anyone here willing to put their knowledge and experience to the table?  Sorry to her grumpy - any help would be greatly appreciated. Just an honest effort to try is all I ask.  Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Kestrel316,

    OK, let's take it step by step. First, you must determine if the disc material is good or faulty. To do this, start on your drivers and utilities Dell disk and run the Dell diagnostics.

    To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc:1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive.3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.4. You will be prompted to hit any key to continue booting from the CD/DVD drive.5. You will be prompted to hit 1 to run the Dell diagnostics. You may see two such menus.6. Select Test System.7. Select Custom Test.7. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your hard drive.9. Click Run Tests.10. Write down any error messages.
    

    Second, if you need a replacement. Your Inspiron 1525 requires a laptop SATA hard drive. They are fairly easy to find at any electronics store or online.

    Third, you the disks to reinstall Windows from Dell. You DO NOT need to buy a new copy. Your license provided with the laptop (it is on the bottom). Since you are outside the United States, you must call Dell customer service to order. They'll send you a Vista reinstall drive, as well as a drivers disk.

  • Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista

    Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista.  It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.

    Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware".  There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.

    I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.

    My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad!  So frustrating.  I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post.  Someone help me please!  That's four times now.

    I thought about it!

    Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst.  He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left.  After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click".  _ Yes!

    Thanks for all your help, man.  I really appreciate it.  It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others.  Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.
