Help???

[Kristin]

Have you used this HDMI cable before? Test it in any other thing you have, Blue ray disk player or Playstation3....

If you print the Display screen where it shows the TV, i can try to understand whats happening....

This is a brand new cable. I'll test it with the PS3 real quick.

Here is a screenshot of the display settings. Left window is the laptop display and right window is the TV display.

And yes Jaye, it's plugged in. The TV says "No Signal"

cable works perfect with the PS3. Gonna test everything on a different TV.

just had to be sure, sometimes simple things like are the worst kinds of mistakes............




and i dunno, if the cable works for other things, and the tv doesn't recognize your laptop? might be the laptop? lol

[Kristin]

But the laptop recognizes the TV, that's what doesnt make sense.

Ok, got it hooked up to our other TV and neither device sees the other one. *facepalm*
What is going on.

uuuuuhh...I have no idea what that means.

[J_L_K_64]

the end of the cable, do you have to just push it on? or does it screw on, like a bottle cap on a soda bottle?

[Kristin]

You push it in.



The "converter" (hdmi to mini display port)

Whats happens when you try to change the refresh rate?

remove the cable from the mac, and reconect again, see if you see a single Blink in the "no signal" on the tv...

lol i had no idea, just running through some simple things to cross them out, i really don't know, sounds like something with the cable, sometimes, then sounds like it's something with the tv, i have no idea anymore
