Hello,

I bought an HD TV and my laptop has the VGA port. So I bought the VGA cord and connected the television and computer. This worked well for a couple of days. After that, the TV is showing "no signal". I do have the PC input on.

Before encountering this problem, I used to see this pop up on my laptop asking me how I would like the view settings to be on the TV. This pop used to appear right after connecting the VGA cord from the TV.

But, no option pops up on my laptop anymore. Has anyone got any idea how this can be fixed and whether or not I can access the VGA port/device options?

Thank you in advance!

Hello! to configure the output to tv to must go in your display settings and select the second out monitor. or if you have the keyboard shortcut on your laptop by pressing Fn + display screen or presentation mode!

hi 777bons,
i have tried all these things you suggest for no success.
In the display settings I do not have the option for second monitor but I do have a blue key 'Fn' and at the same time key 'F7' or F8' .
'F7' is meant to black out my monitor and only display the TV and 'F8' will display on both.

but I can get nothing to work as yet.

been trying for a while now and am getting lost in the challenge!!!
please help.

Hi, I am wondering whether anyone can help. I have plugged a vga cable from my hp latop into my television which is fine and transmits the picture. However, when I have tried to put an RCA cable from my laptop in to my television (via a phono convertor) the sound still comes out of my laptop and not the tv speakers. Can any one help. Thanks in Advnace.

PC to TV with VGA and audio cable - NO sound?

Hello,

I am having trouble getting audio on my TV (a Westinghouse VR-2218) when I hook it up to my PC (Dell Latitude E6500; Windows XP). I am using a VGA cable and a 2 RCA to 3.5mm stereo cable. I have attempted to change audio settings on my TV and on my laptop with no luck. The VGA/video works fine, I just can't get sound. I have tried using a double male stereo cable, which HAS produced sound, but it is incredibly soft and hard to hear. The user manual for my TV is here: http://westinghousedigital.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/VR2218_User_Manual.pdf
Page 6 makes it seem like I can only hook up sound with VGA through the "PC in" input, with a double male c...

PS3 and HDMI cable

Hello,

We disconnected the PS3 from the HDTV to play a blue ray on another HDTV. When we went to switch it back again, the original TV is just displaying a no signal.

No matter the setting, we can't get it to pick up the signal again through the HDMI cable. Any ideas before I go crazy from calling Envision?
