Set up OptiPlex 755 dell pc to my element big screen tv

how to, setup?
no screen stated. (real model numbers matter)what?
a wild example:
"Element Electronics" 50" TV = 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV Television Set: Model# ELEFW504
1 x Component Video, 1 x Composite Video, 1 x Digital Audio, 3 x HDMI, 1 x Headphone, 1 x RCA Audio L+R, 1 x RF (Coaxial), 1 x VGA, and 3 HDMI ports
-------------------------------------4 classes of video supported----------
755 comes in 4 case options, see link below last.
no options in the 755 stated, that you want to use.
HDMI is best ... for most folks,

That is mini desktop, PC and as such can have vast numbers of
option cards fitted inside for VGA/DVI or HDMI.


no cables stated. HDMI , got those?
no OS you run in the 755 stated.
No photos PC rear nor what cards fitted there..

is this an HDMI question, how to connect HDMI.?

did you even try first? plug it and and pray?


see this photo? DELL. actual.
the top blue jack is VGA, if that is all you have
then buy VGA to HDMI adapter cable device.
or add new hdmi video card in the bottom slots.
answering for HDMI only here,there are 3 other ways to get video to TV screen (per its manual)
This PC comes in slim models is yours SLIM?
Mini Tower Computer (MT)
Desktop Computer (DT)
Small Form Factor Computer (SFF)
Ultra Small Form Factor Computer (USFF)


755r-fgfu1yqclolqjzlaezm34mry-1-0.jpg The best way is HDMI card added to above.
here I will do slim + HDMI for you.
cards come in different heights, that must match and fit.

what case matters if you put in a new video card here for HDMI
we have no clue as to what 755 PC you own.

My hp mini tower will not restart

Your power supply is probably bad. Try plugging in directly to the wall and try it. If you have a meter, you can open it up and turn it on. Check the voltage on one of the unused plugs coming out of the power supply, the box in the back with the a/c receptacle on it. Find a plug with a yellow, 2 black and a red wire. Yellow/Black should be 12v, Red/Black should be 5v. Normally people lose the 12v (get only 8v) so the motherboard comes on but not the HDD.
If your prw supply tests OK remove any cards you have and try turing it on with no cards. If it powers on, add the cards back one at a time until it won't power on and that card is bad. Normally this would be a modem card that connects to a phone line.
If the pwr supply test bad, take some pictures of the inside with your phone and remove the power supply (4 screws on the back) and disconnect all the cables that go to it. Check the label for watt ratings and a part number or take the whole P/S to a computer store where they will be $45. Make sure the one you buy has the same type connectors, same or more watts and screw holes in the same place (ask for help). Or you maybe able to order online using the HP part number ($80) or from eBay. Replace the power supply, plug everything back in and turn on. Really pretty easy.

Add second hard drive

There are three variants for this case: the mini-tower (which you say you don't have), the "Small Form Factor", and the "Ultra-Slim Desktop".

The "Small FOrm Factor" has an internal 3.5" bay that will support a second HDD.

That could be the video chip if have on board video. I don't know if you have an AGP or PCI slot to add a new video card. The Agp is brown color and always is just one. The PCI are white, and you can have 2, 3 or 4. You can buy some cheap video cards on ebay.

Adding Audio Output to TV

headphone jack is perfect. Buy ( radio shack, ebay,home depot,best buy ) the mini plug to rca breakout cable and once you plug it in it should mute speakers. Otherwise go into menu, audio, and usually there is a selection to cut off speakers
