Hi JoAnn,
You don't say what type of cable, nor do you say why you can't coonect it. It could be power, scart, HDMI, coaxial. However, the main reasons are as follows:
Try by change the HDMI cable first. If the cable has any internal break, HDMI signal would fail. If it is found OK, the firmware should be checked. If firmware to HDMI hasn't installed, or it is corrupted, this kind of fault can occur. It will be best to contact any service technician. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
If you don't have one already, you will need to get a hidef box from your cable provider( make sure it comes with an HDMI port) Once you have that, then you connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI port on the cable box to any HDMI input on the tv
I see that you conencted your Lenovo Y410 to a Panasonic THP42c10 LCD TV, see details below.
*The Audio will dpened on what cable connection you have from the Laptop to the LCD TV,
*You have Y410 I do not think that HDMI will be an option.
*I believe that you are using the VGA port on the Machine for an extended Video.
*The Audio will really not be coming out of the Panasonic TV if you are using a VGA cable since that is only for Video you will need an audio cable Jack that will relay audio from the Laptops Audio Jack to the Audio Jack of your Panasonic TV thsi is the only way you can get audio out from the Laptop since you are conencted using a VGA cable.
* do not think that HDMI is present on your Lenovo Y410, but if ever you may have that connection/port the way to get Audio from an HDMI conenction is to change the audio PLayback properties and selct HDMI as the default device for the Audio to work using HDMI.
if your pc has hdmi out - the you use a hdmi cable from the pc to the tv on one of the hdmi inputs.
if your pc has a 15pin vga cable you can unplug from your PC monitor (or go buy a VGA cable if you want to keep one on the tv and one on your pc monitor - or if you are using a laptop).
when you unplug the computer from the monitor .. check the pins - should look to be about 15 pins in the connector. it that will plug into the tv- then you are using a vga cable. if it will not plug into the tv pc input .. don't force it. It could be a dvi connector . .take the cable off the PC and to radio shack and they can fix you up (you need a dvi to vga cable - not likely, but possible)
I always turn off a pc before disconnecting monitors - and plug into the other display before turning the pc back on.
