Model LC320EMX. What causes it to default to HDMI connection?

Hi there
There are some things that may be causing problems:

1. Make sure the output from the laptop matches the input capabilities of the TV eg 1080p HD or whatever.
2. Make sure that the TV is set to read from that particular HDMI port.
3. Make sure that the laptop HDMI port is activated - this is not always the default.

Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

one of the transformers has an issue which is very common for that model. You can get a replacement inverter from www.tvrepairworld.com

To connect an HDMI cable to your laptop, find the HDMI port on your computer. Take your HDMI cord, and plug it in. Then plug the other side into a TV. The laptop should automatically duplicate the screen onto the TV. If the video does not automatically duplicate, right click on your desktop background, and select "screen resolution." Select the second display, and set the Multiple display option to duplicate these displays.. If your audio is not coming through, right click on your volume control, and select "Playback Devices." Then set your HDMI as the default playback device.
Bare in mind that these instructions are specific for a Windows 7 laptop that has an HDMI port.

Hi andy838,

I see that you LG LCD HDTV is giving you a No Signal message on the Screen.

see steps Below on finding out what will show video on your LCD HDTV.

* First make sure that the HDMI cable is connected to your Laptop to the HDTV LG.
* On your TV check your remote control and look for the input or Source Button, this will help you set your TV for the HDMI connection.
* Once set, turn your Laptop on and see if the HDTV will provide Video from the Laptop to your HDTV using HDMI.
* I believe that works right, now we have video still we need to set the Audio to work from you Laptop using HDMI to your HDTV.
* On your Laptop lower right side look for your speaker icon, right click on the speaker icon then select Playback Devices.
* Once you've selected Playback Devices you will see a window showing you a list of devices and the first one on the list will be you HDMI connection right click on it and select set as default device this will make your audio work on your HDMI to your TV.
* Once audio to HDMI is set and you want to go back to your Laptop just set the speakers as the default device this will set your speakers have the Audio working again on the Laptop.

I hope that this will help you regarding your concern.

Have a nice day,

Ok I have had this happen a few times before. What I do to fix it is disconnect the HDMI cable while everything is still on and playing and then re-insert the cable back into the TV. This re-configures the HDMI signal and should hopefully stop this problem.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa

those models dont have video input for PC (video port), but if you computer has HDMI ouput you can use that one

Connect your HDMI cable to laptop then change the setting in audio output to HDMI digital output

For toggling the display you need to press the Fn and F5 together

If you have sounds already playing on the laptop, then you must switch your default to the HDMI then go and re open the program ie itunes. Any other program playing sounds on ur laptop speakers will continue to play through the lap top speakers...

On VISTA do this
Right click your screen
go to personalize
on the left there is an option "connect to a projectror or external display"
Click the speaker picture, and set the default to HDMI by right clicking it and selecting make default.
Close your media programs, and then re-open them and hit play..

Check the menus for both the DVD and TV to be sure that the audio is being sent thru the HDMI cable. Some sets and DVDs will separate the audio from the video be default unless told to send it down the HDMI. Update this if that does not resolve the problem and post the make and model of all gear in the chain.

Thanks,
Dan

For me, it was the Monitor Out setting that had defaulted back to Component. I remembered to change the individual inputs to HDMI - but had forgotten to set the Monitor Out to be HDMI.
