Laptop HDMI converter

[qscomics]

I just bought one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00879DM56/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 to try and get my laptop to work in HDMI through my TV, but nothing appears on the screen (the VGA adapter works fine) - is this the wrong part for what I need ?

I am not sure I understand that you are doing, but that adapter converts an HDMI port on a PC to use a VGA monitor.
