Hi, for over three yrs I have plugged in my hdmi cable then my Samsung prompts for the format channel; yesterday I had taken out the hdmi cable (I leave it in all the time generally, but on a previous Lenovo, it eventually wore the Jack pin out). So, I was plugging in the cable as my tv was ready and mirroring the laptop for a film, when the laptop screen just went black. I have read a couple of suggestions on Tom's Guide, but it concentrates on "never plugging the cable in when the laptop is on", like that is what is causing the problem. But I have never experienced that. My Lenovo is inclined to disable stuff all on its own ie: my cursor swopping it for a mouse being enabled, but other than that there are no other problems. I had a Lenovo Cream 110S before and love them, they are compact, light (bc they are basically plastic) and this one is just a year old. The previous one was 5 years old and it was cheaper to buy a refurb, than replace the battery and power on jack and hdmi cable jack which had worn out, or the pins had bent. Please can someone help, do I need device manager prompt? I thought it was working alright as it was mirroring last night fine, then not fine? Thank you guys, love the site. Molly I appreciate the information, and swift reply. I have my laptop just for watching tv "mirrored" movies while an old one for photos to post etc., bc they take up so much memory and I have yet to upgrade my Lenovo 110S to more memory/storage (it has 2GB). Therefore the HDMI has been plugged in for over six months. The honest reason for unplugging is as my daughter recently bought a puppy, and I had to ensure when they visited, it was completely out of the way. So really it has in that time been unplugged three times approximately. It is a sturdy cable not cheap not expensive, but knowing now, how you can damage the cable pins by keep plugging and unplugging them, when I got this laptop last July, I stopped doing it, same with the power up plug. You say, "change the settings", that sounded helpful, could you explain please? When I first set up the hdmi facility with the laptop it had to be done via a setting, but now with the new Samsung tv I got at Xmas, you simply bring up the channel screen and it goes to the HDMI2 screen when selected. So I have not been into any laptop settings since last July. This is the first time since Xmas 2020 I have had any problem. Now even if I plug in HDMI cable before I switch the laptop on (the same as before as it was already plugged in), the laptop screen will not come on? I appreciate your help, sometimes we only know about how to rectify a problem once we have experienced it!! Stay safe M. Harte |
