Dell insperon 1525 no sound or picture to tv with new hdmi cable connected , it worked fine yesterday but now i can get nothing , it doesnt even show on the tv that the laptop is connected to the tv

Change you hdmi connector.

Hello sir

How is your xbox connected to the tv? If its connected with hdmi cable. Unhook it from xbox and plug it into the back of the cable box. If nothing happens then try switching the tv input with the tv remote. Should have several different inputs. Hdmi,video,component,etc...

Your computer needs to be looked at by a computer technician as it is not POSTing or passing the Power On Self Test. As you are not able to get a picture on the TV with the aid of an HDMI cable I would say that your problem with the notebook does NOT lie with the LCD screen. It could be a loose connection between a RAM module and the mainboard.

One could remove both modules and clean the gold finger contacts of the RAM modules with tissue paper.

Take care!

Hook your Xbox to tv via HDMI, then hook TV to reciever through digital optical or composite cables. If you try to get your picture through receiver first, you may get picture and sound but, sound may be delayed and picture might not be the best. Bettter to run through tv first then provide sound to receiver.

Hi,

There is usually a keyboard combination to switch between the laptop screen and your TV.

The keyboard toggle is done by holding down the Fn key and pressing one of the F keys (between F3 and F6).



Good luck.

I have the 1525 and you have to do extra steps each time you want the HDMI to be recognized by the Bravia - too bad it is not automatic as it is with some. Anyway what you have to do is have the HDMI cable connected from laptop to TV then go to your desktop - right click on an open area (away from icons), a menu will appear, let the cursor hover over Graphics Options - you'll then see Output To...then you'll see Intel Dual Display Clone...hover over that and you'll then see Notebook + Digital Television...left click on that and you should see your desktop on the TV in a few seconds. If it does not work the first time...get your movie or whatever you want to show up and ready and go thru these steps again...stupidly complicated aye? when it should automatically detect and show...are other TVs like this?

Now shortage,.. why you dit not use the s video connector? if you want to show the move from the laptop computer to tv, just s video to tv. tv out..should...

if som burn or damage in board that is big problem.. you need to bring shop for repair.. or if under warranty try to return it

Hi there.
I'm sorry to say but it sounds like there has been a massive power surge causing the motherboard to fry, there is no doubt that this has caused serious damage which is probably now beyond economical repair.
If you have any warranty on the laptop then i suggest you take advantage of that and send it in for repair, the only other options you have is pay Dell for the repair or purchase a new laptop.


Thanks for choosing FixYa!!

HDMI carrys no sound you still need to have the audio cables from the component plugged into the tv. If this doesnt do the trick you should call MS or check your TV's settings maybe there is a special function when using that resolution. Hope this helps.
