HDMI connection no longer works on Studio 15 laptop computer

I have a portable Studio 15, which is only 6 months old and I regularly used the HDMI output to connect directly to my Sony Bravia TV to watch the BBC iPlayer, etc..  It worked perfectly well until Thursday when I plugged the HDMI cable and the laptop was not thankful it being attached another screen.  Normally, what happens is that once the cable is connected the laptop automatically detects the TV and switches on the TV as my main screen and my laptop as the secondary display screen.  If I close the lid of the laptop the TV remains as main display.

Thursday, but nothing.  I have reset the TV to factory settings, I also checked the cable and it worked very well and so was the TV when I plugged in my Blu Ray player.  I'm afraid that the HDMI port on the laptop can be fried, but I wanted to check other options before calling Dell.  Unfortunately, I don't have access to another screen/TV with HDMI, so I am not able to check if the HDMI Jack on the laptop is dead.  There has been no updates installed on the laptop just before this problem and as far as I can say that nothing had changed between my Wednesday night disconnect and try to reconnect the cable on Thursday night.  I even tried FN + F8 nothing consider the laptop is not recognizing the fact that TV is not recognized as a screen is not recognized in the first place.

As I mentioned above, the laptop is old with only 6 months: -.

    2. what happens when you try to print?
    3. do you receive any error messages?

    Method 1 :
    Please refer to the below mentioned article and check if the given steps help.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308028


    Method 2:

    You can even perform a restore of the system to a previous point, when the issue was not present. The System Restore tool uses points of restore to return the system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time when you have not experienced the problem.

     

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

  • My connection no longer works on my laptop

    When I tried to connect this morning my password does not work and the Enter key is to add something to the password. How can I fix it?

    Thanks for the tips

    Although you can set up your Mac to connect automatically to your account without password, your computer will be more secure if you use one. Of course, there is a slight risk that a day will come when this password does not work, you have changed your Mac somehow that is hostile to the password or you have been negligent. Or you can simply forget what is your password, which can happen if you use a standard account for everyday tasks and have not touched the Administrators account in awhile.

    Fortunately, if you have lost your password, there are several approaches that you can take to regain full access to your Mac or, at least, get the specific data you need. Here are some tips to do just that.

    Reset your password

    Apple includes several options for resetting passwords in OS X. The approaches I saw below depending on how much you currently have access to your Mac.

    Change from an admin account

    To maximize the security of your Mac, you should have an administrator account for administrative tasks as a standard account you are using for your identity primary (you can still perform administrative tasks from your main account by is authenticating with the credentials of the administrator). If you set up your Mac in this way, you can then log on to the admin account and use the system of preferences users & groups change your main account password.

    To do this, click the lock icon in the preferences system users & groups to authenticate, and then click the account that you are unable to connect to. In account settings, click the reset password button to change the password of the account.

    Use single-user mode

    Every Mac has a main user called "root" account which is the system account that is used to launch the substantive services required for your Mac to operate. While this account is usually hidden and inaccessible, you can quickly get to it for its administrative capacity by booting your Mac in single user mode.

    To continue, you will need to know the short name of the account for which you want to reset the password, and then perform the following steps:

    • Restart your Mac and press command-S at the boot of carillon.
    • When you see the command prompt, enter the following command to put the boot in reading drive and writing mode:

    mount -uw /

    • Now, run the following command to load Open Directory (directory service account Apple OS x):

    launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist

    • Reset the password for your user account by entering the following command (replace "username" with the short name of the desired account)

    passwd username

    Use an Apple ID

    In OS X, you can link your user account to your Apple ID and then use it to reset your OS X password if you have lost. This feature requires first of all that you have associated with your Apple ID, which can be done from the users & groups system preferences and then clicking on the Set button beside the words Apple ID and then provide your Apple ID and password. You can then enable the option to reset your password using an identifier to Apple. (If you see instead a button change beside the entrance of Apple ID, your ID is already attached.)

    Enter an incorrect password three times and you will be asked for an Apple ID. With this configuration, you can reset your password by entering the wrong password three times on the login screen, which will call a sign that invites you to reset the account password using your Apple ID. Follow the on-screen instructions and you should be able to change your password and then sign in to your account. Note that the options I present you here, it should preserve the link to your keychain, allowing you to continue to work seamlessly with your new password, without having to store other passwords to your keychain again.

    Use the Recovery Mode

    A final option to reset your password is to use Apple recovery tools. This may be the best approach in most cases and can be done with the following procedure:

    1. Reboot into recovery or recovery of the Internet now command + R to start mode.
    2. Choose Terminal from the Utilities menu.
    3. Enter resetpassword (one word and lowercase) in the Terminal window and press return.
    4. Select your boot drive in the utility that displays.
    5. Select your user account from the context menu.
    6. Click the button to reset the account password and provide a new when you are prompted.

    If you use FileVault encryption with your Mac, the password reset utility will not display your boot drive up to what first unlock you it with disk utility. To do this, open utility disk where you will see your drive in gray in the list of devices. Select it and click on the button of toolbar to unlock and then after you provide your password to unlock the drive, you can select your drive in the password reset utility.

    Recovering your data

    The options I have mentioned will help you reset your password and login to your account. However, if you cannot yet enter your Mac due to a lost or forgotten password there a way to get some data out of it. In this way is target disk mode.

    Target disk mode allows you to access your Mac as an external hard drive, as long as you don't have active FileVault or a firmware password on your Mac. If you have FileVault is active and that you don't remember either your password to unlock the drive or the recovery key, then you will not be able to recover all the data from it. In this case, your best bet is to recover your data from a backup.

    For using target disk mode, reboot the Mac you want to access and hold the "T" key when you hear the chimes boot. Connect the Mac to another via a FireWire cable or a bolt of lightning and its hard disk should appear as an external drive to your second Mac. From there, you can manually copy data from disk or use Apple Migration Assistant or setup tools Wizard to transfer your data.

    While you should be able to browse all files on the drive mode target disk, there may be a few times when this is impossible, either due to restrictions of permissions or because the files are hidden. To remedy this, you can select the drive mounted via target disk mode, press command-I to produce the drive Info window and activate the option ignore permissions on the volume (at the bottom of the information window). To manage the hidden files, you can temporarily show all files in the Finder of your current Mac by running the following command in the OS X Terminal application:

    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool TRUE; killall Finder

    When you have finished to access these files, hide your files again using this Terminal command:

    defaults delete com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles; killall Finder

    A refuge

    As much as retrieve or reset a forgotten password can look like a bother, it's a small inconvenience which is entirely forged from scratch by a Mac, protected by a strong password. Ideally, you will never need to turn to these techniques. But the bad thing happened, it is good to know that you have so much relief.

  • HP PAvillion M7U61EA #ABH: HDMI port no longer works

    For the last few days I used the HDMI port to stream video and audio to two different TVs LG and Samsung monitor without problems. Directly into TVs or with an AV processor and even if sound was not always easy, I could run BB iPlayer and Netflixs without any problem.

    Then, from today I don't get the laptop to 'see' the fact that I inserted the HDMI in the laptop. Tried several cables and confirmed that the HDMI inputs on all these devices was still working.

    This did some research on the site of HP, Windows site, but couldn't find a solution. What to do next?

    revised and updated

    Given that you upgraded to Windows 10

    You may have accepted a Windows 10 update the graphics driver, who stopped the discreet graphics card to function properly. Never install the Intel graphics driver separately on a switchable graphics capable laptop computer. Only the NVIDIA graphics driver HP sofpaq will allow him to work as expected. It's a proprietary driver that is not included in the driver store of the operating system and is not on Microsoft's servers.

    The best solution to solve this problem would be to use the system restore window to restore the operating system to the State prior to the change was made. You lose no and restore photos, or other personal data using the system. It is completely reversible.

  • HDMI port no longer works on Mac Mini

    Hello

    I have a Mac Mini and I use usually 2 screens Dell. Everything worked fine until a couple of days, now the screen plugged into the HDMI port is no longer recognized. I changed monitors around and that did not help. Only the screen plugged on the stroke of lightning to the HDMI adapter works. I tried to use views to detect, but it still does not detect it. I unplugged and re plugged both monitors and restarted my computer. I don't know what else to do or if my Mac Mini is now a lost cause!

  • Internet connection no longer works unless I have disconnect and reconnect the wifi regularly

    I find that after a time random, maybe twenty minutes a half an hour or so, my internet connection breaks down and it can only be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting to my wifi network.

    It is a problem on my iMac of retina 2014 running El Capitan and 2011 MacBook Air my wife running Mountain Lion (but not on my MacBook Air of 2011 which takes place in Yosemite).

  • Wireless connection no longer works after that the virus

    First a browser both stopped working for a month or two, and finally Internet worked from my laptop (although it worked all my other devices). Now after trying to fix my internet system works when it is plugged directly, but is no longer detects wireless connections, and the light doesn't light even when I switch 'on' the wireless switch. Help, please! Thank you!
    Mike

    It's a laptop?  With built in the wireless?   Assuming that so-

    Usually the unit must be included in the same device manager if there is a driver problem.   I suggest you check the BIOS.  The wireless is displayed there?  Turned on?
    I suggest that you update the chip set driver and also try to download and install the driver wireless from your computer manufacturer.   We'll see from there.

  • Internet connection no longer works with WRT54G Router V3

    I had a router WRT54G V3 works successfully for a few years now, with a couple of PC wireless via a cable modem Comcast as my ISP.  All of a sudden yesterday, no PC can access the internet.  No changes had been made to the router.

    I contacted Comcast and they had me of course wire hard one from my PC to the cable modem.  It worked and I was able to access the internet.  However, when I tried to put the router in place (in a wired or wireless), I couldn't access the internet.

    I tried after the Linksys online troubleshooting documentation.  The lights that lights turn on on the router are on.  I can access the router setup web page that displays the settings still intact.  I tried to go through the sequencing of power without result.  Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would suddenly stop working.  My wireless printer still works as well as it detects a signal and my PC shows that it is connected, but no internet access is possible.

    What should I do?  Are there other available diagnostic tools?  Cat people won't help because I am out of warranty.

    First update the firmware for routers to the last level.  Once hard reset the router and reconfigure from scratch.  Now, try to connect again.
