I’m just Having trouble getting my laptop to connect to my tv and it’s driving me nuts. At first I could just plug the hdmi in and it would come up. Then it stoped recognising and I had to update the graphics card.
then sometimes it would recognise and sometimes I would have to plug the hdmi in and restart my laptop for the display to come up.
Last night it was working I was watching amazon through my tv, turned it off and when I get up this morning it just refuses to display on my tv.
What, why, how I don’t get it. I was hoping someone here could tell me why and help me get it going again.
I tried update I g the graphic card again but it says I have the most up to date.

Make and model of your laptop? Might want to parse the SKU for it as well. I'd ask you to change the HDMI cable and the input to your display to see if that changes your experience.

Should also check and see which version of Windows 10 you're working with.

Dell latitude e5440. Just a cheap refurb from amazon.
Sku: 05DE

windows 10 pro

I tried with a different hdmi and a different monitor. Doesn’t recognise with either.

thank you.
